Modulus Flea Bass

This bass kicks ***.

I had wanted a Flea Bass for 5 years. August 13th, my dreams finally came true. It had arrived, a brand spanking new flea bass. I was able to get mine spec'd out just like fleas too.

Specs:
- Blue Flake finish
- Basslines Pickup
- Aguliar OBP-1 preamp
- Badass II bridge

I know flea has a lane poor pickup on his, but they've been discontinued and I can't find one on ebay yet.

Sound & Playability

This bass sounds awesome. It totally rumbles. I use a Nemesis NC-210 combo amp, and for a combo amp, the bass rumbles the house. The perfectly straight graphite neck is EASY to play. It is pure euphoria playing this bass, every note rings perfectly.

Look & Craftmanship

The flake blue finish on this bass looks totally awesome. It is unlike anything you will ever see. Pictures don't do this bass justice. When using a flash when taking pictures of the bass, the bass just lights up with sparkles.

Also, this bass is the most sleek bass I've ever seen. It's almost aerodynamic looking. The craftmanship is incredible. The finish is so smooth I can almost see myself in it.

Overall

If you can afford this bass (about $2,200+), get one. I was lucky enough to get mine for only $1,999 (yep, not an even $2,000). You will never have to buy another bass, this will last you a lifetime. The graphite neck will never break or wear.

Buy a Flea Bass!

I give it a 5/5

****. I think that bass would look awesome with a natural finish or maybe like a zebrawood top and no pickguard. If it had a zebrawood top and no pickguard, Itd be a dream
