I thought they were supposed to have your bass done back in June I think or maybe it was August 2024.
Any word on when your Modulus is going to be ready?

Actually the first question was towards your Zon & the 2nd question obviously about your Modulus, can't wait to see updates on the Modulus but would like updates on the Zon as well.Joe (Perman) is making progress

You told me a few months ago you had placed an order for a Modulus, is the pic a Modulus neck?
How back-logged is Modulus right now?

He’s pretty much on target with the timeline I was given…maybe even a bit ahead. when I gave the deposit end of August, he said it would be a few months to start…he’s already started though and now there’s a neck made, body next!

Yes modulus neck
Just checking in as it's been over six weeks since this post. Is it finished?
Insane. Do you have any way to be sure those pics he's sent are actually parts for your bass? This is beyond unacceptable.
Aren't you at close to 8 years waiting for this now? One year is plenty long to wait for a guitar. If a company can't finish a bass in that time they shouldn't take the deposit.
I'm about to retain a California attorney to pursue the matter of my withheld instrument.
At this point, I don't harbor any expectations to ever see my instrument (sent in for repair over 3.5 years ago) again, so I'm unconcerned with any prospect of retaliatory measures.
Beyond the issue of possesion of the instrument itself, however, is the regularity of their delay-and-deceive tactics, clearly and demonstrably grounded in bad faith. For myself and for multiple other parties in this thread, the issue is so far past the point of "we're having a problem with paint/hardware/etc." as to be indefensible by any reasonable good-faith argument.
Unfortunately, it seems that we're at/past the point where it's necessary to see what California law says about such deliberate and consistent delay tactics.
FWIW, I was patient. I waited. I publicly rooted for these guys to turn things around. I didn't say anything negative until *years* past their quoted 2-month turnaround time.
It's time.

Wish you luck, whenever the idea of pursuing legal action is brought up here the idea is always shot down for various reasons by other posters but I don’t think anyone has actually started a claim so it’s mostly conjecture, it will be very interesting to see how it goes in the real world.
I would 100% agree with the argument that it's not a practical approach for being made whole.

I'm not an attorney but I could see a difference between a "long wait for a bass I bought" (with a contract that says that deposits are non-refundable) and a bass that is sent in for repair and not returned.
