bassatnight Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Just taken ownership of a fellow basschatters Pedulla Pentabuzz, had a play at the weekend in between watching Englands Cricket batting collapse and Arsenal making a meal of beating Aston Villa, but what a bass, having owned fretless Ray's a Wal and a US Jazz I was fairly open minded but the Mwwhaa factor put them all into the shade. You only have to touch the fingerboard to start her purring the tones available are fantastic, she even sounds good as an old slapper. Def the best fretless I have owned and so hard to come by in the UK. If your after the ultimate in fretless and wanting a great Mwwhha from your fretless go no further. Steve. Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Well done, I have always loved the look and sound of Pedulla basses and Mark Egan (formerly bass player with Pat Metheny) was a great ambassador of them, sadly I have never yet touched one with my own hands, as you said they are very hard to come by and I've never seen one in store.

molan Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Pedulla and Zon both make great fretless basses. I wonder if it's something in the respective construction that makes them 'sing' so well? Quote
AndroWal Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I think the greater hardness of the surface of the fingerboard is a central element to sing. The coating of Pedullas and the combination of wood and resin of Zons which I believe is 7 layers of wood with resin that is compressed to create the fingerboard. Quote

I love mine. Have been tempted to sell it a few times but luckily have always come to my senses at the crucial moment! Get some pictures up, by the way! Quote
