Beautiful bass. Not sure I understand the reasoning behind a graphite neck thru but smarter people than I design these things so more power to ya. Cheers

Both Phil and Mike Gordon play graphite neck-through Modulus TBX basses exclusively. Makes sense to me, if you're going to build a graphite bass why bolt it onto a wood body? Might as well make it 100% non-reactive to weather.

Neck thru or not I don't see how a graphite neck could be anymore non reactive to weather and humidity.

Also that necks seems to run approximately a 1/3 into the body. So not technically a neck thru. Exquisite work though. Love the top on that bass.
