- This bass is made in United States, California, Novato, north of San Francisco ^ ^.
It has original 22 frets, and a microphone type MM Seymour Duncan bassline (modified from Modulus, at her, I think), or as a micro Bartolini MM. Finally, I have the Bassline ..
Normally, it has a preamp aguilar (Bartolini and can be too), 2-band EQ and 3 band EQ optional $ 50 powered by 18 volt!
I do not know accurately describe the trademark of the bridge (it is not written on it).
The settings of the two band EQ is very easy for a bass, and one for the treble, I also had the chance to test the 3-band EQ, and here, the settings are huge! Just turn the knob of a millimeter, and the sound changes very quickly. The microphone is placed almost in the same place of the famous Musicman Stingray.
And as you may know, the round is 100% carbon, very comfortable and very precise in the sound, and harmonics.

UTILIZATION

The handle-carbon is the most pleasant in the low! It is super well made, well painted, it is even very pretty, and makes reflections on the lights. And comfort on the sleeve of the game is exceptional, I do not think anyone Aimms sleeve carbon, but once you get used to, we know not part with it!
Speaking of sharp, sound is very 'soft' and precise, it's beautiful! I can explain it really, it really gives the urge to play.
I find the form bein made 'simple', but speaking of peas, this bass weighs just 4.2 kg, and it is still a bit heavy, piece of carbon is almost as heavy as the body of the bass : s
For a beautiful sound, it is necessary to know the whole low, and above all the settings, and especially it is in good hands.

SOUNDS

- It is suitable for all styles of music, especially funk, but also Jazz, Blues, Rock. Slap the pleasant sound of the game doights tapping or gentle, precise, very nice pick game also ^ ^.
I play more funk style, so I chose the backline, which goes very well with this bass, but I still need a compressor. I have already heard, my bass, with a compressor, and that's where I crack!
May need to be listening to his concerts in Red Hot, or uses Modulus Flea: p, even if it does not use the same microphones, but still ...
In short, I love the sound of that bass! There is nothing in the sound that I do not like, other than it must be fed with 18 volts: '(: p, my god what power!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost a year, I have, and I have had no problems.
What I like most is the sound of course, and also the neck, and I said that Modulus is the famous inventors of the carbon handle.
What I like less is the weight of 4.2 kg
I tried beacoup models before buying, as the Musicman Stingray, of Washburn, and I Banez, the WW. And yet again, try other models, and frankly, I can not find better! Even I find as good a bass is the Modulus Quantum, wow, but hey, not enough money for it
It's an expensive low, about 2000 euros minimum in Europe, but I think it's worth.
I do not separate myself, in addition, she is super pretty, I in Blue Flake, as the old model of Flea, who shines as the light finally is also an option that costs $ 200 now! And if one day I'll buy even a low one day, I can promise that it will be a Modulus Flea and Quantum!
