Donna Lee on Modulus Quantum 5 Bass

Mainly testing out my new camera's mic, but also my ability to play the head to Donna Lee on my new Quantum 5. Hope you dig it.

I can always spot a guitar player that has switched to bass.... once a guitar player always a guitar player... sorry dude....

@ghayes649

Wrong! Try again Mr. Speculator. I played cello at one point, but never guitar. When playing jazz heads, the bass assumes a more melodic role, instead of primarily being rhythmic and harmonically supportive.

oh okay because ive heard tha tthe carbon fretboard really has no warmness to it but the vid kept switching on and off on how it sounded in that sense so i couldnt figure it out

[DiatonicTelepathy]

I think I had a long index fingernail when I recorded this, which would periodically pluck the string, making it sound more sterile and biting. I always keep em nice and short these days

[ibnzs520]

is this the carbon fretboard or did you go with the hybrid one

[DiatonicTelepathy]

This Q5 has the phenolic fretboard. It sounds much better in person though, naturally.

Cut your nails, dude!! Otherwise, except for slight timing problems, good playing!

@Libanass Alright man, congrats to your new Modulus!

I love mine for sure... it is as stable, even and powerful sounding as a synthsizer.

Wish I got the money to order a second one.

Cheers, have fun

[Libanass]

hi

please read back what I wrote

I did NOT say modulus sounds a lot better

each one sounds amaizing and completely different

[Listendudeok]

"complete opposite" and "Modulus sounds a lot better!" ? Buddy, you have to change your ears and attitude. The StingRay is a classic, so is the Modulus.

Don't bother writing back, it's ok, enjoy your bass.

[Libanass]

hello

I just got my modulus quantum, and I still don't understand why you think it sounds like a stingray

it's the complete opposite, it can reach a very modern jazz bass clunkier sound, and it's versatile as hell

and I freakin love it, btw!

[istarimikko]

Yeah, you´re right! Not even close .Modulus sounds a lot better !  = )

[Listendudeok]

@Libanass You got your opinion, I got mine. Listen to the guy above:It has similarities with a StingRay. But what the hell. No, I don't sell my Quantum, it is an awesomely even, pro quality bass. I uploaded a little video playing it.

[Libanass]

well I even got the modulus flea which is supposed to be the copy of the stingray and I got a stingray as well

and they are the most different basses on earth

I tried a quantum, and it has nothing to do with a stingray. Means the playablity and specially the sound

I'm looking for a quantum, let me know if you sell yours
