The bass in the Overwater Custom(s) is a different but very similar bass (have look at the fretboard-end). Pretty sure this must be 'welnek' s old bass which was listed (but didn't sell) here last year. The bass was modelled on the one featured in the Overwater Custom Gallery :- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85138&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85138&hl=[/url] [url="http://www.overwaterbasses.com/gallery.htm"]http://www.overwaterbasses.com/gallery.htm[/url] IIRC it eventually sold on ebay for c.£1k, which must have been the bargain of the year for somebody looking-for a Custom-6 (Overwater or other) !!

Would prefer to sell for cash, but will be making a final decision on this by 11th. !![/quote] Update on update: potential trade/££ (above) has been unexpectedly rescinded, so the bass is back 'on' for sale only. As I'd considered a trade, I might consider again .. but it would have to be something special or easily sold-on, and with significant ££ in-addition.

Bump/Update: I now have a decent/interesting trade+cash offer pending on this bass. Would prefer to sell for cash, but will be making a final decision on this by 11th. !!

[quote name='dangee' post='1075560' date='Jan 2 2011, 06:25 PM']Hi David...very nice and a very fair price...if I had any money I'd have it an a shot! All the best...[/quote] Thanks Dan ! .. have you been away? All the Best for '011

[quote name='barend' post='1075422' date='Jan 2 2011, 04:10 PM']That one was on a Dutch market place site a week ago. The body and the neck are not matching. The Neck is a MK1 neck and the body is a Pro body. Also there are three dots missing above the 12th fret and I think the neck is ebony. I think it used to be a fretless neck which is swapped with a pro neck. Still nice though bit not totally original. I think it will never be sold for that price.[/quote] Thanks b' - that's very informative (and slightly disturbing .. considering the price he's asking ) !

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1073767' date='Dec 31 2010, 03:39 PM']These aren't cheap basses but this is actually quite a reasonable price... (some folks out there are trying to get outrageous prices from anything with "Wal" on it). I paid the same for my Wal bass some time ago and it was worth every penny.[/quote] .. Thanks G' (and previously, cocco) - I was trying to place a sensible/reasonable price on the bass to reflect the condition and current market: some - now and previously - have been a bit high & hopeful :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190484680285&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170585018410&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] ... although I have no idea of It./Nl. prices generally. The Custom does have Sims led's .. but some players prefer their Wal(s) traditional.

[quote name='Jimmyp28' post='1073188' date='Dec 30 2010, 09:42 PM']I was one of the watchers and god i would love this bass so very much, have loved wal for such a long time. Really want to try one just never had the chance but god they sound so so good. Good luck with the sale i will be keeping an eye on this one. [/quote] Thanks Jimmy' - ironically, when I contacted the one watcher who made an offer (of which I wasn't aware until the auction ended, as it was slightly below the min. consideration level) has emailed back to say that he decided to order a new one from Paul H., his offer having been rejected: sod's law (!).

[quote name='thestick' post='1072020' date='Dec 29 2010, 07:15 PM'] no luck on ebay then? great bass though,[/quote] No .. despite the 63 watchers, only managed one slightly low offer (have messaged the offerer to ask if he's actually interested/serious and might increase the offer post-ebay). I decided to try ebay first as there were a couple already listed here on BC ... but I think they've been well-considered by now. Thanks - I guess they're all pretty much 'great' basses; but this is a nice/original example with some beautiful grain and a popular wood combination.

Wal Custom Bass (mach.1) in excellent condition. I sourced this for a friend in the USA but he seems to have 'disappeared' (either lost interest or the funding) so decided I need to list/sell. It was completed in June 1996 (signed-off by Pete Stevens)- the body is constructed of solid Mahogany with exceptional American Walnut facings (front and back - with a particuarly nice herringbone-effect). The finger board is rosewood with inlaid mop markers. The six-piece laminated neck made of Rock Maple, Hornbeam and Amazonian Hardwood with a 34" scale. The bass is completely original with the standard x2 ‘Wal’ pickups and Wal Volume, Blend plus x2 Tone Control pots (with the Vol. Tone & Tone being pull/push type). For the uninitiated, another unique feature of the Wal bass is the integrated XLR balanced output, which facilitates direct connection to a console or other balanced input. If only the balanced output is used, a plug must be inserted into the 1/4" output in order to activate the electronics. Wal basses are hand made, beautifully constructed and individually unique instruments and the example presented here is no exception - the attention to detail in the design, construction and craftsmanship shows throughout. There is no Wal case but it comes with an excellent/mint Gator hard-case, which has an inner cutout to allow the bass to sit perfectly. Weight is 9 ¾ lbs. – just 2 small (and ‘hidden’) dings, both shown in the photographs: on the neck (behind the 9th fret) is about 4mm; the other is about 8mm and located on the bottom body edge, about 4” up from the strap-pin. Asking [b]£2499[/b] (inclusive of Courier) o.n.o. / but no trades or p/ex's

Thanks H' !! As some might be aware, this is now available again .. courtesy of one vulture, being a creature of ill-repute. Bonus now is that it's fully/carefully packaged .. and ready to go. I understand (and wasn't aware before - infact I didn't even know of Mr. Henry) that Richard Henry ... :- [url="http://www.richardhenryguitars.com/"]http://www.richardhenryguitars.com/[/url] ... was (is) very interested in this instrument and has apparently sold a number of Crinson 6str. guitars in the past. Seems to deal in some choice stuff!

Pelosi 5 string bass, handbuilt by Anthony Pelosi (Brooklyn, NY). Unique bass which features: a Bubinga top over an Alder core with a Monkey-Pod back and Wenge centre-block; bound Kingwood fretboard with turquoise/shell dot-markers on a five-piece, 24-fret, bolt-on Maple/Wenge neck. Single coil pickups housed in Cocobolo covers, Gotoh tuners, ABM bridge, active preamp with bass + treble boost, 3-position pickup selector switch. It comes with a hard shell case. Beautiful handmade bass with an excellent tone. Super-light for a 5 at only 7.8lbs. Scale is 34.5”, nut: 1.75”, fret-24: 3.875”, string-spacings: 9mm(nut), 15mm(f24), 18mm(bridge). I’m selling-off most of my 4’s (save a couple of specials/favourites), and a ‘6, but some aren’t shifting so need to reduce my 5’s as well. This is an excellent bass but I don’t like/play is as much as others . Were I to keep it, I would probably change the simple/switch set-up for a more comprehensive 3EQ/pan (replacing the switch and either adding another pot – there is space in the cavity – or using a stacked system) .....but it’s fine as is with the B+T+3-way. Anthony’s bass’ design is unique and will, I’m sure, be viewed as something of a ‘marmite-bass’. Ironically, it’s a bit reminiscent (to me, anyway) of the Waja Telios listed here a while back (about which I made some remark...). But it’s high-quality (build and components) and possibly the lightest high-end 5 I’ve played. On-Hold/Pending.... and SOLD

To: Harvey (the) vulture, As you have PM'd me with further questionannable reasoning about our deal, but have Blocked me from replying via PM .. I have no choice but to post here (and on your multiple listings...) .. for this bass - which was part of an agreed 3-way deal involving my Crinson bass going to Howard - H the Bass - his Gibson LP bass going to you, and your 62J coming to me. Arranged over the past week and booked for this morning. Viz:- Dec. 16.Hi David,can you please send me your address. we can get the ball rolling. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Good news - all 3 basses are now packed and ready. I'll be doing the online booking for the Crinson & LP this evening or tomorrow. There might be a collection/delivery problem .. but I think it best to go ahead and see what happens. Monday is always the best collection day .. there's still another week until Xmas .. and we have no idea what might happen post-Xmas: if there is a problem/delay then there's some days to spare this week and bookings can always be re-aranged or cancelled (postponed).[/i] Dec. 18: Hi David,i have booked my bass to go on Monday,but worried it may not get to it's destination before xmas,and via versa. i dont want my bass stuck in a warehouse over xmas mate. Maybe we should arrange a meet up central to all of us,maybe london,that way we get our basses without any probs. cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Hi Harv. Understand your concern (natural) but have now confirmed bookings for Monday (none of our postcodes are currently lighlighted as problems - how are things in your area?) - so it seems all basses are booked and ready to go. Could we see if the collections are made at least and then re-assess if required. You might want to speak with Howard also - not sure if you cc'd this PM (?). London ?!! .. that's 300 miles away from me: on a good run that's a 9-10 hour round-trip and at current rates about £60 in petrol. With the roads the way they are, it could be 9-10 hours each way[/i]. Dec. 19 (21.07): Hi David, im gonna hang on until after xmas mate,gut feeling has got yhe better of me. I have also paid for courier my end to,but will cancel now. Sorry for the inconvince,but i rather just hang 5 for now. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]OK - your call/decision. Is the snow really bad down your way then? Unfortunately, I have no way on now cancelling the DHL collections of the Crinson and LP basses; although I guess I'll be given an option if they're not collected tomorrow. Could you keep me updated as to when you'll actually be sending the Jazz bass as, if things are still running Ok with DHL in all 3 areas, then I'll be the only person without a bass.[/i] Dec. 19 (21.44): Hi David,I suggest dont send your bass untill i have decided what i'm going to do. So please dont send me the gibson bass,as i will only return on arival. [b]I have been made a good offer via someone else at the moment,so i'm in two minds as which deal to go with[/b]. But in this day n age,cash talks im affraid. Hope you understand my decission. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Frankly, I think this absolutely stinks. Have spoken with Howard and believe he's of the same opinion. Did you actually package the Jazz bass? Did you actually arrange a Courier? So, NO .. I don't understand your decision at all. You gave no indication until Sat. evening that anything might be of concern, and then seemed to use reasons other than the actual reason to try and postpone the arrangements. It's fortunate that I managed to speak with Howard, as he might have passed the bass to DHL tomorrow morning; and they will not simply return it to sender on your say-so. We have both spent time and effort (and money) in packaging the 2 basses and arranging Courier(s). As you're obvoiusly going to be getting a good cash deal for your jazz bass, I assume you 'll be happy to reimburse the £34 I've spent on DHL Couriers who will now have to be turned away (with some explanation) upon arrival. I notice you'rer a relatively new BC member ... I'm hoping your tenure will be relatively short[/i] Dec.19 (22.45): Hi David,i have honest packed my bass n paid over £25 for the couirer mate,but £25 is nothing to loose if im getting a Stingray bass,ampeg cab and £100 is it ! As i said money talks,also you should of taken my concern on sat night seriously,but i think you thought your pushy techniques would put me in a corner mate. Unless i get an even better offer,then i think it's in my interest to go with the deal i been offered this evening. If it dont work out my end,then i will go ahead with this 3 way deal,tho i think you may not want too. Upto you both. I am travelling 100 miles tomo for this deal,so dont think i wasnt serious,i do like to see in the flesh what i'm getting. Sorry again,but at least nothing has been sent at this point. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]Have you spoken with Howard at all? What 'pushy techniques' ??? .. we had all agreed to the 3-way deal and to sending the basses on Monday (tomorrow). If you had packed the bass and arranged £25 Courier, then explain how I was 'pushing you into a corner'? If you have agreed a deal, then I think most BC'ers would feel you should go ahead with it. if you are offered something better before the deal is completed, then fair-enough; but you didn't have the honesty or balls to say that, did you ?!! ... you claimed you were worried about the bad weather; yet now I (we) learn that you're OK for a 100/200(round)? mile trip, so the weather can't be so bad. Nothing has been sent, but money, time and effort have been wasted - due only to you. The only thing you're right about is that this deal will not now go ahead. BC generally runs (well) on trust, with regard to sales and trades .. and you're so obviously not to be trusted[/i] Dec.19 (22.52): By the David,just rereading your reply. i have owned 4 music shops in my time,and in my opinion,money does talk. You had the chance on Sat evening to hold back on the couriers ! YES OR NO ? Well i rest my case. A deal is only done when everyone has agread and signed, or shaken on a deal. Chhers Harv REPLY: [i]You contacted me at about 7pm on Saturday evening with your bogus reason for holding the deal/Couriers .. although you also claimed that you'd already booked yours. I replied immediately indicating that it was best to go ahead as agreed, and the rationale for that You did not send another (bogus/dishonest) PM until 9 pm tonight, by which time I had had to arrange the Couriers for myself and Howard. You did not reveal the real reason for your change of mind and plans until 9.45 pm tonight This is a Forum .. you are not running a(nother) shop You have no 'case' as such[/i] Dec.19 (23.14): So David,you dont think the deal i was offered earlier this evening,is a better deal for me.I will send Howard a PM now,but i thought best start with you as you was doing organiseing couriers your end. Well if thats your attitude,then i will cancel you out the deal,and just buy howards bass instead of going via you. You seem very angered by my decission,trust me mate,it's not worth the stress dude. I have lost over £25 courier costs n time packages my bass with airbags etc.... You spent £34 on 2 couriers collections ? Seems a little cheap to me,as i insured mine at over £1000 i see you reavertised that bass of yours,so good luck. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]It may well be a better deal - that's not the point. You're perfectly within your rights to buy Howards bass, if he still wishes to sell to you. You think I have no right to be angered by your 'decision'? ...'dude' (?!!!). You stated previously that your £25 loss is not an issue as you're due to get a Stingray, amp and £100 ... so you seem to have done OK on your deal(s). Knowing the right Courier(s) to use and having an account reduces prices - you should know that having owned 4 guitar shops; places like GAK send -out instruments for c. £6 I've not re-advertised 'that bass' .. the listing doesn't just disappear because a deal had been made ... or, in your case, has-and-then-hasn't been made[/i] Dec.19 (23.19): Daivid your a rude non understanding person BOLLOCKS TO YOU MUSH......... I GIVE UP REPLY: [i]Thank you : you are obviously a man of integrity and literary talent[/i] Dec. 20 (16.50)Hi Daivid,i knew i was right,DHL phoned me this morning at 9.47am to cancel the collection. So as i said there was no way of even getting these basses around to all involved before xmas,i maybe lucky n get my cash back because of this,i guess to 2 guys was'nt so lucky. All the best Have a good xmas Harv PS, i did inform Howard of my action n decissions. REPLY: [i]?.. right - about what? DHL WERE able to collect from TS and CV this a.m and will be collecting and delivering until Friday. You seem to be contradicting yourself again - you cancelled the deal and your collection (well, you said you had .. now you're saying that DHL did so), not because of the snow but because you thought you had a better deal. Why did DHL need to call you when you'd already cancelled - according to your own PM/words? You need to keep a more careful check on what you're saying, have said and have previously made-up to cover your own dishonesty Whatever the (and your) reason (ing), you confirmed a deal with Howard and myself for which costs as well as time and effort were incurred. re. your PS: PM from Howard at 12:26 today: ... " HI David, no contact whatsoever from Vulture, i did read your PMs but nothing about buying my bass to me! ... "[/i] ... if anybody's managed to read through all this, I hope you understand my rationale and annoyance. I'm sure a lot of BC'ers will have suffered a lot worse both in terms of monetary loss and frustration. But I just felt the need to say something.....

I have also paid for courier my end to,but will cancel now. Sorry for the inconvince,but i rather just hang 5 for now. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]OK - your call/decision. Is the snow really bad down your way then? Unfortunately, I have no way on now cancelling the DHL collections of the Crinson and LP basses; although I guess I'll be given an option if they're not collected tomorrow. Could you keep me updated as to when you'll actually be sending the Jazz bass as, if things are still running Ok with DHL in all 3 areas, then I'll be the only person without a bass.[/i] Dec. 19 (21.44): Hi David,I suggest dont send your bass untill i have decided what i'm going to do. So please dont send me the gibson bass,as i will only return on arival. [b]I have been made a good offer via someone else at the moment,so i'm in two minds as which deal to go with[/b]. But in this day n age,cash talks im affraid. Hope you understand my decission. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Frankly, I think this absolutely stinks. Have spoken with Howard and believe he's of the same opinion. Did you actually package the Jazz bass? Did you actually arrange a Courier? So, NO .. I don't understand your decision at all. You gave no indication until Sat. evening that anything might be of concern, and then seemed to use reasons other than the actual reason to try and postpone the arrangements. It's fortunate that I managed to speak with Howard, as he might have passed the bass to DHL tomorrow morning; and they will not simply return it to sender on your say-so. We have both spent time and effort (and money) in packaging the 2 basses and arranging Courier(s). As you're obvoiusly going to be getting a good cash deal for your jazz bass, I assume you 'll be happy to reimburse the £34 I've spent on DHL Couriers who will now have to be turned away (with some explanation) upon arrival. I notice you'rer a relatively new BC member ... I'm hoping your tenure will be relatively short[/i] Dec.19 (22.45): Hi David,i have honest packed my bass n paid over £25 for the couirer mate,but £25 is nothing to loose if im getting a Stingray bass,ampeg cab and £100 is it ! As i said money talks,also you should of taken my concern on sat night seriously,but i think you thought your pushy techniques would put me in a corner mate. Unless i get an even better offer,then i think it's in my interest to go with the deal i been offered this evening. If it dont work out my end,then i will go ahead with this 3 way deal,tho i think you may not want too. Upto you both. I am travelling 100 miles tomo for this deal,so dont think i wasnt serious,i do like to see in the flesh what i'm getting. Sorry again,but at least nothing has been sent at this point. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]Have you spoken with Howard at all? What 'pushy techniques' ??? .. we had all agreed to the 3-way deal and to sending the basses on Monday (tomorrow). If you had packed the bass and arranged £25 Courier, then explain how I was 'pushing you into a corner'? If you have agreed a deal, then I think most BC'ers would feel you should go ahead with it. if you are offered something better before the deal is completed, then fair-enough; but you didn't have the honesty or balls to say that, did you ?!! ... you claimed you were worried about the bad weather; yet now I (we) learn that you're OK for a 100/200(round)? mile trip, so the weather can't be so bad. Nothing has been sent, but money, time and effort have been wasted - due only to you. The only thing you're right about is that this deal will not now go ahead. BC generally runs (well) on trust, with regard to sales and trades .. and you're so obviously not to be trusted[/i] Dec.19 (22.52): By the David,just rereading your reply. i have owned 4 music shops in my time,and in my opinion,money does talk. You had the chance on Sat evening to hold back on the couriers ! YES OR NO ? Well i rest my case. A deal is only done when everyone has agread and signed, or shaken on a deal. Chhers Harv REPLY: [i]You contacted me at about 7pm on Saturday evening with your bogus reason for holding the deal/Couriers .. although you also claimed that you'd already booked yours. I replied immediately indicating that it was best to go ahead as agreed, and the rationale for that You did not send another (bogus/dishonest) PM until 9 pm tonight, by which time I had had to arrange the Couriers for myself and Howard. You did not reveal the real reason for your change of mind and plans until 9.45 pm tonight This is a Forum .. you are not running a(nother) shop You have no 'case' as such[/i] Dec.19 (23.14): So David,you dont think the deal i was offered earlier this evening,is a better deal for me.I will send Howard a PM now,but i thought best start with you as you was doing organiseing couriers your end. Well if thats your attitude,then i will cancel you out the deal,and just buy howards bass instead of going via you. You seem very angered by my decission,trust me mate,it's not worth the stress dude. I have lost over £25 courier costs n time packages my bass with airbags etc.... You spent £34 on 2 couriers collections ? Seems a little cheap to me,as i insured mine at over £1000 i see you reavertised that bass of yours,so good luck. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]It may well be a better deal - that's not the point. You're perfectly within your rights to buy Howards bass, if he still wishes to sell to you. You think I have no right to be angered by your 'decision'? ...'dude' (?!!!). You stated previously that your £25 loss is not an issue as you're due to get a Stingray, amp and £100 ... so you seem to have done OK on your deal(s). Knowing the right Courier(s) to use and having an account reduces prices - you should know that having owned 4 guitar shops; places like GAK send -out instruments for c. £6 I've not re-advertised 'that bass' .. the listing doesn't just disappear because a deal had been made ... or, in your case, has-and-then-hasn't been made[/i] Dec.19 (23.19): Daivid your a rude non understanding person BOLLOCKS TO YOU MUSH......... I GIVE UP REPLY: [i]Thank you : you are obviously a man of integrity and literary talent[/i] Dec. 20 (16.50)Hi Daivid,i knew i was right,DHL phoned me this morning at 9.47am to cancel the collection. So as i said there was no way of even getting these basses around to all involved before xmas,i maybe lucky n get my cash back because of this,i guess to 2 guys was'nt so lucky. All the best Have a good xmas Harv PS, i did inform Howard of my action n decissions. REPLY: [i]?.. right - about what? DHL WERE able to collect from TS and CV this a.m and will be collecting and delivering until Friday. You seem to be contradicting yourself again - you cancelled the deal and your collection (well, you said you had .. now you're saying that DHL did so), not because of the snow but because you thought you had a better deal. Why did DHL need to call you when you'd already cancelled - according to your own PM/words? You need to keep a more careful check on what you're saying, have said and have previously made-up to cover your own dishonesty Whatever the (and your) reason (ing), you confirmed a deal with Howard and myself for which costs as well as time and effort were incurred. re. your PS: PM from Howard at 12:26 today: ... " HI David, no contact whatsoever from Vulture, i did read your PMs but nothing about buying my bass to me! ... "[/i] ... if anybody's managed to read through all this, I hope you understand my rationale and annoyance. I'm sure a lot of BC'ers will have suffered a lot worse both in terms of monetary loss and frustration. But I just felt the need to say something.....

To: Harvey (the) vulture, As you have PM'd me with further questionannable reasoning about our deal, but have Blocked me from replying via PM .. I have no choice but to post here (and on your multiple listings...) .. for this bass - which was part of an agreed 3-way deal involving my Crinson bass going to Howard - H the Bass - his Gibson LP bass going to you, and your 62J coming to me. Arranged over the past week and booked for this morning. Viz:- Dec. 16.Hi David,can you please send me your address. we can get the ball rolling. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Good news - all 3 basses are now packed and ready. I'll be doing the online booking for the Crinson & LP this evening or tomorrow. There might be a collection/delivery problem .. but I think it best to go ahead and see what happens. Monday is always the best collection day .. there's still another week until Xmas .. and we have no idea what might happen post-Xmas: if there is a problem/delay then there's some days to spare this week and bookings can always be re-aranged or cancelled (postponed).[/i] Dec. 18: Hi David,i have booked my bass to go on Monday,but worried it may not get to it's destination before xmas,and via versa. i dont want my bass stuck in a warehouse over xmas mate. Maybe we should arrange a meet up central to all of us,maybe london,that way we get our basses without any probs. cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Hi Harv. Understand your concern (natural) but have now confirmed bookings for Monday (none of our postcodes are currently lighlighted as problems - how are things in your area?) - so it seems all basses are booked and ready to go. Could we see if the collections are made at least and then re-assess if required. You might want to speak with Howard also - not sure if you cc'd this PM (?).

[quote name='4000' post='1062432' date='Dec 18 2010, 01:16 PM']When I bought my new old stock MVP from A1 Music in Manchester in 1994?) they had another Pedulla in that looked very like this, with a faded "washed" green finish, although I seem to remember it was all over (could be wrong though). It was a fantastic bass, as was mine. one of the nicest I've ever played IMO. If I had the funds (wrapped up in my custom Rim) I'd be all over this. Best of luck with the sale.[/quote] Thanks 4K - interesting to know that this might be an unusual factory finish

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1058782' date='Dec 14 2010, 06:07 PM']My fave question Dave... what does it weigh? [/quote] Good (usual) Q. John: it's 8.8 lbs. on the digi-scales. Wasn't sure if it was your sort of thing (?). I'll add some more specs./details this evening.

Pedulla MVP Custom 4 bass, USA hand built with through neck. Has been modified (in one case by necessity) but is now in excellent overall condition and plays really well. There is an area of buckle rash on the back of the instrument and some laquer/colour has worn off at the neck/body join (E-side) where a previous owner must have rested his thumb. The input jack has been replaced and reinforced (brass jack-plate, which is not original) at some point, where there is a break in the original wood construction. All of these are purely cosmetic & don’t affect the sound and playability. The back of the bass represents the true/original colour of the bass (peacock blue/translucent). I did ask Pedulla if this faded top/finish was an option in those early days and got the following reply:- [i]Hi, David. That serial # was the MVP model, made in 1989.The original detailed sales record is currently unavailable, so I can't confirm what the original color/finish was. In 1989, "Custom" indicated it had "A" grade Flame Maple and the hardware color was gold. We used Schaller hardware back then. It appears that there have been several things done to the bass since then, including electronics changes and jack area modification. Regards, Christine[/i] Although Pedulla seem unsure, I believe the top/front of the bass has simply faded over time (possibly due to the way it might have been stored). The neck is straight (truss-rod easy in both directions) and with the ebony fingerboard provides great sustain. The Bartolini electronics and pickups have been completely upgraded to the newer version used in the latest models, with bass, treble, mid stack and separate p/up controls. The controls are now: stacked p/up controls, mids +/- (with pull/boost) and stacked bass/treble. I’ve also changed the original gold hardware (available, if required, as are the original pots+wiring) to black – with Schaller tuners and a quick-change (slot-in) black bridge. Comes in original hard case (fully functional, but the tolex is badly marked with some areas missing) and with the original Pedulla truss-rod key and instructions. [b]SOLD [/b]for Xmas

Photos below. I need to clear a load of 'project' stuff and will try to photo list over this weekend and coming week. Several necks and bodies, plenty of hardware and some pickups etc. This is by far the best single piece I have (although I do have a MMSR body and plenty of parts to go with it if interested). April 1990 'made in san luis obispo' 4-bolt (x2 !) neck. Has some non-original tuners attached which I can remove if preferred. The neck & f/board itself is in good/excellent condition and has the small headstock-end truss-rod which moves freely both ways. There are some minor strings marks (from roundwounds) to the f/board (but its very smooth to the touch) and the neck has a couple of small dings, both close top the central stripe. It's a beautiful, aged-amber colour and with some nice flame. The 'pocket' area (rear) is 62mm at the bottom (60mm higher up); 105mm long in the rect.-section (120mm. including the angled section, above the pocket) and 13mm deep. SOLD
