2 THE SOUND IN YOUR HEAD IS IN THIS BASS Believe It The most important advance since the invention of the bass guitar has been the carbon fiber neck. From that day in 1976 when bass-playing rocket scientist Geoff Gould (yup, he was a carbon fiber designer on the Voyager probe) first wondered, What if the electric bass has been a different animal. The Grateful Dead s Phil Lesh played one of the first carbon fiber-necked basses and from that point forward, the most accomplished and creative bassists in the world have played a Modulus. Two Ways To Better Tone To this day, Modulus Quantum basses are made using the same aerospace hand layup process as in the beginning. We ve made many subtle design improvements along the way, including the addition of a two-way relief adjustment. Each neck is still hand laminated with layers of carbon fiber pre-preg and cured in the Modulus autoclave. The distinctively spacey exterior layer of carbon fiber is known around the shop as KLD or a thousand (k) ladies dancing. This artistic touch has remained a Modulus trademark for decades. In 1996, Modulus designed the Genesis neck system a revolutionary new format which utilizes the strength of carbon fiber and the sonic benefits of lightweight tone woods. The carbon fiber skeleton supports the string tension and the tone woods give the neck shape and controlled resonance. When you first pick up a Genesis instrument, you ve got to look closely to see the carbon fiber. But play one note and you ll hear it for sure. Is It Voodoo? If there s magic in carbon fiber, it s in the very high modulus of elasticity of the material. In plainspeak, carbon fiber is extremely stiff for its weight perfect for a bass neck. On the performance side, each note is full, with low and high harmonics in generous quantity. Plus the high resonant frequency drastically reduces the possibility of dead notes even when playing the low strings in the high register. On the maintenance side, carbon fiber is impervious to moisture and resilient against temprature changes. Your Modulus is perfectly stable from Montana to Miami. But Modulus instruments aren t just techno showpieces. Take a look at a Modulus. A close look. The artistry and craftsmanship are unparalleled. The precision fretwork. The fit of the hardware. The smoothness of the finish. The attention to every detail is obvious and perfect. From the beginning, it s always been about improving the breed. About giving you a new plateau to step up to. About finding your voice. If there s a sound in your head screaming to get out, unlock it. Play a Modulus. While both systems deliver the benefits of carbon fiber construction, each has subtle differences in tone. We don t usually like sweeping statements, but Quantum instruments tend to be brighter, with an extended harmonic mix. Genesis instruments tend to be warmer, with a greater fundamental pitch focus.

With their aerospace-grade carbon fiber necks, Quantum basses have tremendous presence, with pristine highs, growling mids and lows that rattle your innards everything you want in an electric bass. Since the 70s Modulus basses have set a new benchmark for performance, both on stage and in the studio. Even response on every string up and down the entire fingerboard. Solid fundamental pitch focus. Unwavering note stability. Unmatched dynamic range. And your Modulus instrument will give you this high level performance for decades to come. The distinctively spacey exterior layer of carbon fiber on the Quantum neck, known around the shop as KLD, or a thousand (k) ladies dancing, has been an artistic Modulus trademark for over 15 years. Quantum basses are also available with your choice of chrome, gold plated or black anodized hardware. Modulus craftsmanship is another industry benchmark. The fit and finish of every component is as near perfect as possible. We offer a choice of six different exotic (and sustainable harvested) wood tops and nearly 30 different finish combinations. Your Quantum will truly be one of a kind. Photo: Thomas G. Smith You can order your Quantum with a wide choice of pickups and active and passive tone circuits. We carefully test and match every electronics option to the instrument, so you can feel confident that whichever you choose, it will give you exceptional tone and trouble-free performance.

6 Wil-DogOzomatli ModulusGenesis PUNCH YOUR WAY TO THE TOP When it s a Genesis, you know it. Presence and punch you feel in the pit of your stomach and lower. The patented Genesis neck design turns the concept of a composite neck on its head. In the process it gives you the best characteristics of both wood and carbon fiber. First, there s a structural carbon fiber spine that extends from the tip of the headstock to deep inside the body. The neck then gets its shape from a solid piece of lightweight, resonant tone wood. All string tension is supported by the composite central structure, drastically reducing warping and twisting. Since the wood of the neck isn t subject to any stress, we can use tone woods like maple and alder to add warmth and character to the crisp attack characteristics of the carbon fiber spine. It s the right neck for players looking for an organic, woody sound enhanced with the strong fundamental and brilliance of carbon fiber. The saying, Best of both worlds is finally true. The extremely stiff carbon fiber spine supports all the string tension. The select tone woods give the neck shape and provide warmth and character to the sound. The perfectly balanced body shape was created for Modulus by bass guru Michael Tobias. Choose from alder or a combo of exotic (yet ecologically sustainable) hardwoods. You won t find a more comfortable and sleeker body on the planet. Michael also designed the beautifully ergonomic neck shape for all Genesis bass models. You can order your Genesis with a wide choice of pickups and active and passive tone circuits. We carefully test and match every electronics option to the instrument, so you can feel confident that whichever you choose, it will give you exceptional tone and trouble-free performance.

9 ModulusGuitars THREE WAYS TO SIX-STRING HEAVEN Bob Weir The Dead, Ratdog FLEA with his Quantum 4 SweetSpot The technology of solid bodies has been refined, but hasn t changed significantly until now. Call the Genesis neck a minor revolution or a major refinement it s a performance advantage that you ve got to play to appreciate. Blame it on the Genesis carbon fiber/tone wood neck, where the carbon fiber spine provides the support and the tone wood provides the classic sound. Every note is clear, yet warm and round. You can hear the individual notes in every chord distinctly. The tuning is stable and reliable. Genesis guitars come in bolt-on and set-in neck variations, with top or back-routed bodies and a variety of pickup configurations. Here are the differences. Genesis I The G1 represents all that is traditional, updated to 3rd millennium performance. Choose a traditional 3 pickup layout or two humbuckers. The sound of the G1 is warm and classic. Genesis II The G2 is a child of the 80s revolution in solid bodies. The backrouted alder body is brightened with a maple top. Again, you have a choice of a 3 pickup or twin humbucker layout. The G2 sound is bright, distinct and devastating. G3CT Transparent Amber 1993 Christopher Carroll/web-heads.net Genesis III With its set-in neck, the G3CT delivers tone to the bone. With either the soapbar or standard humbuckers, this instrument pours out thick tones with surprising clarity. New is the semi-hollow G3SH with a wider body and stylized sound hole.
