    Pedulla MVP 5 for sale in very good condition - mainly studio use throughout its life. Michael Pedulla retired last year so they are no longer being made. Last UK list price for a similarly spec model Was £5,750. No trades please. AAA solid maple body wings 3 piece maple neck Ebony fingerboard Bartolini (proprietary to Pedulla) P/J pickups 2 band active electronics 17.5mm ABM bridge Gotoh gold hardware Very good condition (hardware shows age and some slight tarnishing but body is truly mint). Frets leveled recently so it plays with super low action if required

    Ken Smith Elite 20th Anniversary Flamed Redwood Top 6 string (1 of 11 made) Best Ken Smith out of the 10 or so I've owned for a very rare (very few have ever come out for sale) bass. Not looking for trades - selling as bringing down my collection and mainly play jazz style basses these days. Lots of feedback in the forum Specs: Flamed Redwood Top with Matching Headstock. Body Core and Heel Blocks are made of Tiger Maple. The Laminate between the Redwood and the Tiger Maple is Black Walnut, and the Body Features are Tropical Walnut. The Neck is made of Hard Rock Maple with African Bubinga features and heel laminate. The Fingerboard is Macassar Ebony and has Mother of Pearl Top and Side Dots. Pickups and Electronics are the same as the BSR "EG" and includes Series/Parallel Switches. The bass has a 20th Anniversary Backplate and Truss Rod Cover. These were $6,000 when made new in 1999/2000. Bass has cosmetic wear / bumps from the previous owner (I am the second owner and have owned it for the past 15 years), which is reflected in the price, but functionally it works perfectly and the frets are almost as new and plays with an incredibly low action with no buzz. 34" scale. 18mm string spacing 4.6kg / 10.1lb Ken Smith in his quest for the best tone woods found only a limited amount of this rare, old, seasoned, air dried, Figured Redwood. Because of the limited amount, only 11 of the KSA 6 flamed redwood basses were made.

    One of the few instruments I regret selling. Big difference from standard USA models. Better playability and better wood selection meaning a more responsive instrument with a very stable neck. GLWTS

    Agree. It's a "custom" Ying Yang standard 5 without the black paint on top, as all specs are the same - i.e. same as asking a burger without ketchup or mayo. Specs don't match any other "standard" besides the Ying Yang Standard 5. GLWS

    Moollon make some of the greatest pre-CBS P bass recreations (excluding the lack of brazilian rosewood board). GLWTS

    Aero sweeter/warmer, Duncans more aggressive.

    They don't offer/have never offered Brazilian rosewood as an option, having dealt directly with JY and Andi, they would confirm that. They did the odd "normal" rosewood one many years ago, but ebony or maple are the only choices for the past few years. Not sure about ebony being richer and smoother than Brazilian rosewood, but this is not the place to discuss that so will stop here. My initial comments were with regards to how good Moollon bass guitars are. GLWTS

    Pre-CBS "style" even if not exactly the same. I have a Pre-CBS all original P bass and I have a Moollon P bass too. It's the closest thing I've played to a pre-CBS one. And I much prefer an "improved" quartersawn neck to an "original" flatsawn one. I do agree on the brazilian rosewood being something special though and wish it had it.

    Moollon make some fantastic pre-CBS type instruments. GLWTS!

    Indeed, thanks!

    This is a Laurus bass, hand made in Italy, as used by Ric Fierabracci and Federico Malaman. It is setup with very low action, together with its very fast and asymmetric carved neck, making playability exceptional. It has two tonal chambers, making the instrument lighter and very resonant and responsive. It requires normal strings. The bass is in perfect working condition but it has a few bumps, purely cosmetic, and this is well reflected in the price (the cheapest Laurus bass in the Web by far). Looking for a straight sale only. New price €4,500. Shipping is not a problem. Plenty of feedback. Specs: 34" scale Weight 3.7 Kg Mahogany body with two tonal chambers Birdseye Maple top 5 piece neck/purpleheart neck through body Nut: 43mm String spacing: 19mm Phenolic fingerboard Noll 3-band preamp, active/passive Laurus (Benedetti) pickup Neutrik locking security jack Original Laurus soft (semi-rigid) case Electronics, jack, truss rod working perfect, no issues

    Just bought an amp from Knicknack. Very well packed and a very smooth transaction overall. Great to deal with!

    Just sold a bass guitar to Mikkel's friend - Mikkel's facilitated the deal. Communication was easy, we quickly came to an agreement and it was a smooth transaction overall. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
