Up for grabs is a pretty rare piece. A 1989 Modulus Graphite TBX-5 neck-thru bass.

Specs are as follows:

* Neck-thru Modulus Graphite neck w/the KLD (1000 ladies dancing) pattern.
* Graphite nut
* 1 3/4" at the nut
* 2 7/8" at the 24th fret
* Phenolic fretboard
* Black Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (USA)
* Alder wings with Cocobolo top
* EMG 40DC dual-coil pickups
* EMG BQC System electronics (vol/bal/stacked bass-treb/stacked mids). The mini-switch is a 'magic switch' (it's not connected to anything) :)
* Fully adjustable black ABM brass bridge
* Black Dunlop straploks
* A little over 8.5 lbs. (5515g)
* Currently strung with DR Sunbeams (NLR5-40 / 40-120)

Neck is straight.

When I purchased this bass a few years ago, the previous owner(s) did a bit of a number on it. It was "rode hard". Scratches and dings throughout. My first step was to take it to the folks at San Francisco Guitarworks so the neck/fretboard could be planed and plek'd. Next sent it to Pat Wilkins for a complete refinish. After the refinish, the finish on the back of the neck was 'knocked down' for a bit more of a slicker, satin finish.

Will ship in a Modulus hard plastic case. The case is a bit beat up but will do the job and keep the bass safe.

Shipping is free for FedEx Ground shipping in the Continental U.S.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for looking!
