Modulus called that model the "Sonic Hammer" before they got Flea to endorse it. The Modulus Flea basses were really overpriced for what they were. IRRC, it is still made under a new name now. I A/B'ed a couple of them against new Rays and did't like them near as well as the EB's. I could see the money for a Quantum or the like, but like Modulus's Jazz copy, I just didn't get it. The old Quantums with the Lane Poor pickups were awesome, but if you wanted a Stingray with a composite neck there was the Cutlass.
