Modulus is a brand known for designing high-quality basses with carbon-graphite necks.
Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Ue-chan (Maximum the Hormone) are some of the most well-known bassists who use the brand. (Titles omitted)
This is a BassStar made in the 1980s.
The body top and back appear to be made of walnut.
The fingerboard is made of ebony.
Black ebony like this has become rare these days.
The greatest feature of this model is its neck-through carbon neck.
Although this model does not have a truss rod, it is still very rigid.
The combination of wood and carbon creates a beautifully balanced and elegant look.
The pickups are in an EMG PJ configuration with an active circuit.
Controls include a master volume, balancer, and treble/bass.
The carbon neck produces a speedy sound and responsiveness.
Despite this, I feel that its greatest appeal lies in the musicality and beautiful nuances of the sound.
It has a crisp sound with a deep low end and piercing high end.
The unique and attractive sound that is unique to this era has a magical power that makes you want to play it forever.
As an aside, the top of the body is signed by fusion bassist Yoshihiro Naruse, also known as ""Narcho.""
It also appears that this particular instrument was previously owned by Naruse.
Approximately 60% of the frets remain.
The neck is almost straight.
There are minor scratches and dents on the body and paint.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The strap pin has been replaced with a Schaller one.
Controls: Master Volume, Balancer, Treble/Bass
