【used】Modulus / FB4 Blue Sparkle 2004 4.220kg #40327【GIB Yokohama】

Modulus is a brand known for designing high-quality basses with carbon graphite necks.

Representative bassists who love this brand include Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Jochan (Maximum the Hormone). (Title omitted)

This is FB4, which was a brand known only to those in the know, but it suddenly became a world-famous brand for Modulus.

The name is an abbreviation for Flea Bass.

The neck and fingerboard are made of the familiar carbon material, and are characterized by speedy sound and responsiveness.
Despite this, I feel that the great appeal is that the sound is musical and has beautiful nuances.

The pickup is equipped with two powerful humbuckers.
The neck PU has been added.

The preamp is equipped with ESP CINNAMON.
This has also been modified.

The sound is exactly like funk.
Coupled with its unique appearance, we can safely say that those looking for this bass have no other choice.

A unique base.
Don't miss this opportunity.

Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
We have confirmed that the truss rod can rotate more than 360 degrees, but please note that it takes a lot of force to turn it, and that it is not very effective.

The condition of the neck is that there is a twist that tends to curve forward on the 1st string side, but there is no problem with adjusting it to the current GIB standard of 2.0 to 2.5 mm (above 12F).
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are some dents and scratches here and there. There is a large dent in the paint on the head. The yellowing of the pickguard is noticeable. The 4-string tuning machine is partially damaged, but there is no problem with normal use.
The electrical system is in good condition.
EMG MMTW is added as neck PU. The preamplifier has been replaced with an ESP CINNAMON. All pots have been replaced accordingly.

Controls: Neck PU volume, bridge PU volume, treble, bass, middle (inside cavity), gain trimmer (inside cavity)
Nut width: 39.4mm
Bridge string pitch: 19.0mm
Scale: 34Inch
Year of manufacture: 2004
Country of manufacture: USA

For setup, we use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.

GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.

Accessories: None
