A quantum leap beyond conventional hi-end basses.

An exquisite bass that combines advanced technology with the finest craftsmanship. Stunningly quilted maple tops its premium alder body. Bartolini pickups with NTMB active EQ serve up the ultimate in tonal range and control. Its neck is a hi-tech marvel, an ultra-rigid D-shaped shell made from dozens of hand-formed layers of aerospace-grade, epoxy-impregnated carbon fibers and fitted with a fast, ultra-smooth phenolic fretboard. The neck's miraculous strength-to-weight ratio and extreme resonance produce a remarkably unclouded, even tone. It also transmits sound faster than wood, so articulation and attack dynamics are dramatically enhanced.

• Quilted maple top over an alder body
• Bartolini pickup with 3-band NTMB active EQ
• Phenolic fingerboard
• Black hardware

Modulus Quantum 5, Bartolini, OBP3

I ordered this bass in blind faith without ever having had one in my hands. I had to wait for 10 months after ordering it, but nevertheless this is the best purchase I ever made. This simply is the best Bass I have ever held in my hands. When I first opened the case I was stunned by it's beauty. Every detail is engineered and produced to perfection. Sound is simply perfect and playability is insane. Extremely sleek neck, combined with the lowest action ever. The only way this bass could be made better is if it could play by itself. After playing it for several hours during rehearsal I concluded I could just as well sell all the other basses I own since I probably wont ever use them again. This bass simply outclasses them all. (Musicman Stingray, Spector Euro LX, Warwick Corvette $$, etc)

The only problem with these basses is the price and the delivery time (although once you have it, you quickly forget about that)

The perfect Bass

Over my 30 years of playing, I have owned and current own several basses to include Warrick, Fender, Ken Smith, Music Man, Yamaha, and Ibanez. The reason for owning so many instruments is because I was searching for the perfect bass. One bass would sound great but play like crap and another bass would play great but sound like crap. After purchasing a Modulus Quantum 5, I must say that my bass plays great and sound great. Additionally, there are no dead spots or loose B strings. I could shoot myself for spending all that money on those other basses. If you haven’t experienced playing a bass with no dead spots and a great tone, you owe it to yourself to experience the Modulus bass the perfect bass.

yes, moduluses are expensive, but i bought mine about three years ago and it was the best investment i've ever made. the quantum 5 is so smooth and yet so powerful it is unreal. save up, and do your playing justice with this axe.

Make no mistake, I've loved Modulus basses in the past (I've got three) but I have to say that I won't buy another. The neck never seems to go out of tune but one of my Modulus' developed a neck bow that was hideous and Modulus headquarters just shrugged it off. Their customer service department won't return phone calls either. I had to go to Manny's Music (in NYC) and get them call them and Modulus "graciously" offered to replace the neck FOR half the cost of the instrument!!! No thanks Modulus. When you get your act together, I'll think about coming back... Too bad that their terrible customer service casts a shadow over what otherwise might be a great product. But hey gang... If you're thinking about dropping 3Gs on a Modulus I'd think again.

Incredible, but expensive

This thing is probably the most gorgeous bass I've ever seen or played, and it plays as well as it looks[probably better]. Some of the smoothest tone I've ever heard, especially on the low B. I could never afford one though, which is why I still gotta stick with the Ibanez...
