A Bug's Tale

A friend of mine got perplexed by the carbon fiber necks I posted about two days ago I told him that Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Flea plays one and that actually he has a signature bass that he helped design. Flea's energy and vision mixed with Modulus' experience and expertise produced a bass of uncommon power, versatility and playability. The Quantum KLD ultra-strong, carbon fiber neck provides the solid feel that all Modulus basses share. Bartolini and Basslines pickup options create distinct sonic personalities to suit ones individual style. The 22-fret neck is custom-shaped for comfort whether one plays vintage or modern designs. The carefully balanced alder contoured body provides the right amount of mass for solid tone and playing ease. It is vailable in a variety of metallic and gloss finishes. With motto, white or black shell pickguards. Jazz bass style pickups as the Flea J bass. Dunlop straplock. All with active electronics.

The Modulus Flea Bass comes either in 4 or 5 string versions. Composite fingerboard. Also comes with fancy and exotic body woods and finishes. The bass sound and tone is suitable for any style, wether you may think this bass is strictly funky you can hear its mellow performance and not as sparky and crisp sound in such tunes as "Soul to Suqueeze" and "Otherside"; now if its the electric sharp sound that you are looking for, that "Higher Ground" sound, certainly you will find it in this bass (versatile, remember?). And that's what I like about this instrument, its versatility, you can be like a nuclear physic expert or a poet just by turning some knobs. Impressive instrument, congratulations to Modulus and Flea for keeping music beautiful, very impressive. But remember, folks, that in-your-face style, comes from the heart through the fingers, not from the instrument.
