Genesis Basses are the result of the combined efforts of Modulus Guitars and Michael Tobias Design to produce the most responsive, rich-sounding basses possible. Beginning with our exclusive Genesis composite technology, which allows resonant, soft tone woods: soft figured maple, cedar and alder, to be used as neck woods for the first time, we've developed a series of basses that are striking both sonically and visually.

Every detail from the asymmetrical shape of the neck to pickup placement and tone circuits was carefully thought out to deliver a bass with unrivaled tone and playability. Pick up a Genesis Bass and experience what happens when two of the finest bass builders in the business join forces. Available in 4-string, 34" scale and 5-string 35" scale models.
