Thunderbird IV Bass
I've been playing for over 20 years, now and I have used this
bass both on stage and in the studio, and it has been nothing
but great. I must say, the Thunderbird is one solid guitar.
The sound is wide and sturdy. Great
sound. Modern basses today, get a large variety of sounds,
and the Thunderbird does as well but it does have one outstanding
bass tone that comes to mind... rich, deep and clean! This
bass also produces nice booming lows, piercing highs &
a great, even mid-range.
The Thunderbird is a great dynamic bass. It's a solid, solid
bass. The only complaint I have is having to put it away right
after playing. Don't try and lean this bass against something
because the neck is thin (especially for a neck thru bass)
and the headstock is huge with of course it's unique angled
shape and this means if you try to lean it against something
it will usually end up on the floor... so be careful. Other
than that it's real sturdy and reliable. I rarely have to
tune it and I play pretty aggressively.
As I mentioned before it has a neck thru body. The neck is
nice and thin making it a fast bass. With the fast neck and
the thick, heavy punchy sound this bass lives up to it's name...
Thunderbird! I've gotten huge sounds out of this bass that
can shake an arena. The T-bird is very punchy, and cuts through
without being muddy or harsh. It is a very quiet instrument
compared to it's phat sound.This bass plays like a dream,
and I don't plan on putting it down any time soon.

Modulus
Flea FB4 4-String Bass
Learn to play like Flea!
In 1997, Flea's energy and vision inspired Modulus to create
a bass that bears his name... Modulus Flea FB4 4-String Bass.
In the quest for neck-snapping, butt-shaking, groove-making
tone, the carbon fiber neck will give you a huge head start.
Each neck is a lightweight, ultra-rigid D-shaped shell made
from dozens of layers of hand-formed, aerospace-grade, epoxy-impregnated
carbon fibers. It rules for producing unclouded, even tone with
abundant low and high harmonics. Because carbon fiber telegraphs
attack more quickly than conventional wood necks, it also aids
articulation and clearly pronounces attack dynamics. A non-structural
relief adjusting system adjusts in both directions, allowing
for underbow and overbow. And your maintenance woes are over.
Carbon fiber is totally impervious to the ravages of moisture
and temperature changes. From fit to finish, this neck is pure
bass voodoo. Features:
Double-cutaway alder body
Space Age carbon fiber neck
Compound radius composite fingerboard
Pearl dot position markers
Bi-directional relief adjusting rod
Basslines MM pickup
Master volume and 2-band EQ
34" scale
22 frets
1.56 nut width
2.45" width at 22nd fret
19mm string spacing
Aguilar active preamp
