funkle Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Hey all Circumstances force the sale of my used, and well gigged, Pedulla Rapture JJ 5. Beautiful candy apple red, with chrome hardware. An excellent 5 string Jazz bass, essentially, with a great B string and wonderful ergonomics. Maple body, lovely maple neck, tasty figured birdseye maple fretboard. Specs as per the Pedulla website: [url="http://www.pedulla.com/html/rapture.html"]http://www.pedulla.c...ml/rapture.html[/url] This bass is the version with 17.5mm spacing at the bridge. Weighs 8.6 lbs on my bathroom scales. Fretboard has some wear on one edge where the lacquer has worn off. Belt buckle rash on back (not from me, but from previous owner). Electronics in excellent working order and frets in good shape. Lovely low setup. The bass case is in good condition overall but has taken one or two dinks too. These are well reviewed, and ridiculously expensive new. Price is[s] [b]£1500[/b][/s] [s][b]£1400[/b][/s] [b]£1350[/b] including insured shipping in the UK; if shipping outside the UK, please contact me for a quote. No trades. But, if you want to make me an offer, get in touch. Pete Couple of taster photos follow.

SpcMnk Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That is a gorgeous bass! If you were up for trades... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Apologies to all who bid on Ebay....pulled bass out of garage and found electronics had died/not working. Replaced battery etc and no joy. Ebay couldn't pull it within 12 hours auction end so I had to wait for it to end and contact the winning bidder to explain. Eesh. Will put this thread on hold until I get the issue sorted out. What a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilipBass Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi. I was probably the second winning bidder so if interested, send me the PM. Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 You are all very kind. But it's going to a tech next week and we'll see what happens after that. Probably won't know until after Xmas/NY at this point. It's probably safer we close the thread here for now. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
