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.

[B]Specs:[/B]
- 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.

[B]Sound & Playability[/B]

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.

[B]Look & Craftmanship[/B]

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.

[B]Overall[/B]

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! :thumb:

I give it a 5/5

Heh yeah, I would've done anything for the bass to. I was like "I"ll shoot myself in the foot for it!" :D

:eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek: I WANT ONE!!! :eek:

i think everyone wants one.....
i was gonna get one but its wayy out of my price range for now, maybe someday.....

that bass is boss, that is the mack
i want it

****. 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

Yeah, i have seen this bass before. Looks so badass and must be badass since flea plays it.

**humps your bass** :naughty:

that's a really nice bass ;)

[I]Sweet[/I] bass man...

I'm with everyone else, in wanting it badly.

Thanks for the review.

its safe to say everyone is drooling or fondling themselves at this point, nice bass but is it good for punk music?

Thats an awesome bass to bad it didn't come with Lane Poors but oh well its still incredible

where did ya get it from? i have searched quite alot of places

Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply. I was at basic training down at fort benning. Anyways I'm back.

To answer the question to the guy above me...I bought it from bass central. Check out their website, they're a great place to buy a bass from. They're very friendly and helpful.

musicman still pwns
nice bass though. CHILIS RULE.

^^^I would take a Flea over a Musicman (assuming you mean a Stingray/Sterling)... in fact.... I DID! I've got the same bass, but mine's a 2000 model without the Badass (has a Gotoh 201, which IMO is just as good), and mine's got the Lane Poor MM. I like the Lane Poor more than the SD or the Bart, but the Nordstrand Alnico V MM4.2 is sounding pretty amazing... I can't decide which I like better. All in all, great review, and I love mine just as much as you love yours (although, I wish mine had the sparkle finish, that's so overly garish... I love it!)

I check every day on ebay for a lane poor for sale. No luck yet.

I've played this and the old model, both nice. Not many that play better than this beauty, however there is one that comes to mind- Warwick Streamer Stage Two. That funky *** peice of machinery rumbles like a mother ****er, and plays so sweet. Unbeatable tone range, comfy like a pillow and all for £1600- not too cheap but well worth it.

Your'e bass is a sexy beast!

[QUOTE=i'm_soooo_emo]yeah that really is a nice bass :p

But i wanna fender jazz bass :D[/QUOTE]
I just got a jazz bass. A Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. It's only half the price of the Flea bass and it still took me over 2 months to save up for it.

how heavy is the flea bass?
im not asking you to waigh it or anything, but like, is it heavy, realy light, or just normal?

[QUOTE=bmxinbassist]how heavy is the flea bass?

It's lighter than normal. It is WAY lighter than my old fender p-bass.

(Drools on the keyboard)...My god..that is one beauty!
Im thinkin about a Corvette or Stingray though..but that thing is shirely beautiful!

[QUOTE=FunkyMonkCP]I check every day on ebay for a lane poor for sale. No luck yet.[/QUOTE]

Well, I'm having a Nordstrand MM4.2 put in to replace my current Lane Poor. If I decide that I like it more than the Lane Poor, I'd be happy to sell you mine. Shoot me an email to [email]edge_q5@yahoo.com[/email] and we can discuss it further. I should have the bass back and tested by the middle of next week.

Daaaaamn... [B]nice[/B] bass dude.

its beautiful man, i might get one

nice!

Musicman Stingray still a better bass in my opinion. I dont think anything can possibly sound better than a stingray

[QUOTE=fatwreckpunk]Musicman Stingray still a better bass in my opinion. I dont think anything can possibly sound better than a stingray[/QUOTE]

Its essentially the same bass as a stingray except for the fact that it has a MUCH more stable neck (possibly the most stable neck available today), and the construction quality of these are infinitely better than anything available publicly from Ernie Ball. I value your opinion though, I was just countering with mine. :thumb:

Yeah thats a great bass. My bassist plays it, and it sounds godly.

nice

So How Much You Pay 4 That Bass Man ?? Pretty Awsum
