    I have a 1982 G & L Night Hawk Strat with that same color and finish,and I love this one. My band did several concerts with the Lovin’ Spoonful in the mid 60’s and John Sebastian was so cool 😎 and had some extraordinary instruments ... Michael, you make everything you play sound magnificent, but this time you really did an excellent job..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🔥🎆✨💫✨🎸

    "This Modulus Graphite guitar became known as The Shark. Treat him lovely!"
    - John Sebastian
    IDK if this is why it "...became known as The Shark," but that upper bout on the bass side looks a lot to me like a shark fin, swimming under your right arm.

    very cool , luv that sound , very thumpy and bumpy , but great over all tone , great color too , something a little different for sure , I've seen baritone acoustics but never an electric one , and this one lends it self to the heavy metal sound , grungy and crunchy , just deep and powerful , a niche guitar for sure but very cool. thanks guys.

    I've had a number of Modulus basses over the years. Most of them had Bartolini pickups and those are some really great pickups I do believe. With that graphite neck you didn't have you worry about the temp or humidity messing up the action. I didn't have any neck throughs just bolt on. Jeff Gould's specialty was laying up the necks and they were so stable they didn't have a truss rod. Jeff is still making great graphite necked basses for his own company

    I believe that's what kids today call,...a KEEPER!!! It sounded amazing for being a carbon fibered neck, I was expecting a colder and more shallow tone for some reason. Jen, as usual the shooting is fantastic!!

    • @joermnyc
      @joermnyc 4 роки тому

      I think the pickups help the tone, and pairing the neck through with wood “wings” (can’t tell if the top is a full veneer over the wings & neck through or just painted to match) helps.

The guitars they were making were the same length as a Strat. That's what I remember reading in the specs for the guitar they were making for Bob Weir. The company is back in business again
