I have beautiful Modulus Q6, its maybe 2 months old, I got this from Grasshopper over at Bass Central, great deal on a beauty, it was drop shipped directly from Modulus to my house. I am a 5-String player at heart and would love an Alembic Rogue of equal value, don't hesitate to offer other Alembics...4-strings as well. Here are the particulars: Modulus Q6 Figured Spalted Maple top/Bartolini Pickups/Aguilar OBP-3/Black Hardware, Case. Retail $5299 Sale $3709 [IMG]http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Bassman8416/photo2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Bassman8416/DSCN0270.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy62/Bassman8416/DSCN0267.jpg[/IMG] | ||

Yeah, it is beautiful...sounds and plays amazing as well. I probably would sell it for $3,350. | ||

I just picked up a Q6 with the same electronics package. They are fantastic basses. Best of luck with your transaction. Bones | ||

Looking for Rogue, Europa and Essence 5-strings. 4-string basses(Series I or II or Stanley) are not out of the question. My dream bass is a Jimmy Johnson 5-string. | ||

I would sell the bass outright for $3300. | ||

Hey there, I have been offered a trade, this is what has been discussed, as a straight up trade....here is the description the owner sent: "My Essence is a 2004, Bloodwood top, Mahogany body, neck is maple with purpleheart (I haven't seen another Essence neck like this) with Abalone inlays and Red led's. Ebony fingerboard. 34" scale, (I'll double-check that) Standard Essence electronics, simple, yet very effective in easily changing tone. Comes with HSC. I don't think there's a significant mark on the instrument anywhere. The HSC is pristine as well. I bought this bass a couple years ago on an E-Bay estate auction. Now I primarily only deal on T/B with my bass brothers/sisters. So, to say the least when the bass arrived I was a bit nervous... Opening the box was an amazing surprise - the HSC was literally new, (still is) and the bass looked like it had the original strings on it, and maybe never really ever played!?!? The brass bridge and tailpiece - Perfect. NO significant oxidation from being touched by anyone's hands. The Led battery's were dead, so I replaced them, new strings and a set-up, and it's been a bass that is very special. This bass will stand a LOW set-up, and plays well all over the fretboard." Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Craig pics are being sent to me. (Message edited by Bassman8416 on December 02, 2012) | ||

If you like the Alembic do the trade. It seems to me you could get an essence for a lot less than giving your modulus for it (I do love Alembics btw) though. Your modulus is pretty awesome man! Once it's gone, it's gone..... Just sayin' | ||

And if your saying $3300 for your bass... That's Europa territory, not essence.... + cash, at least. | ||

Very good points Mr Wookie, yeah the guy is implying that he paid $3000 because of the extras? I am also concerned that because of the 19mm spacing on the essence I will have the same problems with my left hand . | ||

Idk either of you but I think it's 19mm on my Europa 6 and 2.20 width at top and that's about all my puny little girl hands can take. Just so we're clear; I love Alembics I have 5 of them but everyone knows they aren't worth jack after original purchase. It's fine if he (essence guy) paid $3k for it, fine. But he knows it's not worth that. And I have LEDs its not that cool and for sure wouldn't sway me into trading if it were my sweet spalted 6 string modulus. I think a trade is a fine thing but let's be fare and square. From the sound of Mr. Essence, I might question that if he isn't saying anything about throwing some cheddar your way. Just my 2 cents. I'm about to email you btw. | ||

The bloodwood looks awesome. Bass + cash, if the value isn't there. You could always just sell the Modulus and by what ever Alembic that you wanted. Make sure that a 5 string isn't too wide also. Stephen |
