You're right, it's a Modulus, a fretless Q6 Quantum six-string bass.
Currently, Marcus has his signature Fender Jazz with 4 and 5 strings. I hope that Fender could make a 6-string version of his namesake '77 Jazz Bass with 4+2 tuners, a convertible locking bridge and a full 2-octave fretboard.
Why not? After all, Marcus' favorite bass is his old '77 Jazz, hot-rodded with a Sadowsky preamp and a modified pickguard/control plate.
As for Eric, I prefer to heard him playing acoustic guitar with his old candy red Roland G-505 synth guitar plugged in a VG-88 or VG-99 guitar modeling box instead of his signature Martins.
Yeah... Marcus' bass its really amazing... the best jazz bass sound in my oppinion! But Fender usually doesnt make 6 strings basses... They have maded some models... but... i really dont think that they think about a Marcus Miller signature 6 strings... but that really would be great :) Best Regards... Artur (Brazil)
The only Fender 6-string basses I've seen were the Steve Bailey and Tye Zamora signature models, not to mention a couple of Custom Shop exotic basses specially built for a NAMM trade show in 2003.
The Zamora bass isn't officially mentioned on Fender's website. So the first Fender 6-string bass is the SRB6.
A Marcus Miller 6-string would be very nice, though.
Who knows the brand of Marcus' Bass?

His fender signature is a fretted bass. (5 or 4 strings) but on this video, it's a fretless one.
The headstock looks like fodera's. But the neck seems be carbon. So I really don't know if it's a fodera or Modulus ...

Miller has both Fodera and Modullus fretless bass. However, in this video Marcus is using a modullus

Marcus also plays Leduc fretless basses.
IMHO, I'd liked to hear Clapton playing the acoustic guitar parts with his Roland G-505 synth guitar plugged into a VG88 guitar modeling pedal.
