jackers Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) I believe that belongs to someone on here (edit: beaten to it by charic) I'm not a massive fan of the shape, but the colour is rather nice.

Roland Rock Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/130497-lean-mean-green-pedulla-machine/page__hl__nuclear%20green"]http://basschat.co.u...nuclear%20green[/url] I love this bass, but my I'd be thrown out of the band if I turned up with it! The shape of the MVP is lovely, and IMO spoiled by a burst finish as it makes those lovely gooey horns less obvious. Its in-your-face looks are great, but more importantly it's had some serious upgrades. I'll be happy for SW when it sells, as it's been on there for ages and he's been pissed about a fair bit, but will also be a bit sad that it's not going to me.

fumps Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeh I'm not ridiculing it in anyway just cant make my mind up if I love it or not.....if you know what I mean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) I know exactly what you mean. I'd love it as a quality instrument and as something cool and different, but at the same time I'd be slightly self-conscious playing it. I'd imagine it's taking a while to sell for that reason, but sooner or later someone will come along and snap it up as it will be perfect for them.

I know a deal is not done until its done, but its incredibly frustrating the amount of people who said they would take it, only to turn around a couple of days later, sometimes after i had paid for a courier to say they no longer want it. Lots of people loved the finish when I showed it to them, and said they would love to own it, but those same people are now refusing good trade offers for it. Its amazing how two-faced people have been with me in Pms. Ah well. I have seen something I like so had to reduce the basses price again.

I am a creative person who hates to follow the flock and am drawn to almost anything unique or left-field.... that's what this bass says to me. I'm not scared to be myself.

charic Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Love the colour personally but not the shape Would I own it? Yep, if it played well and the neck wasn't too skinny. Would I pay that much for it? Personally, no... but not because it's not worth it (far from) just because it's not worth that much to me (and I have no cash atm).

Schnozzalee Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think it looks great, i'd have to wear black with it lol *minces* but i'm a passive bass guy. I'd pay that, it's a Pedulla!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The shape doesn't photograph well but it looks great in person. Not such a fan of the colour though, and a shame to see the Bartolini pickups missing. A 'buzz with Barts and an expoxied board is one of the best sounding fretless basses around. I've not had as much time with MVP's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EMGS in this one really makes the bass all that more alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] you've been messed around more than most.... but it's a bright green bass. a bright green bass. so a bit harder to sell, as you have found. I would probably say I would love to own it, cos it does look like something brill. But like many I am sure, don't have space for a a bright green bass as my main bass.
