Rumble Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Sale - £795 (trade £825) Playing situation has changed and to be honest I'm looking to go back to a more traditional tone so selling this lovely Pedulla Thunderbolt 5, hand-built in 1993 by Michael Pedulla. Specs: Body - Alder Neck - maple Scale - 34" Pickups - Bartolini soapbars Preamp - Bartolini TC4 String spacing is 17.5mm at the bridge and 46mm across at the nut. Condition overall is good for an instrument of this age. Just a few minor blemishes, mainly above the pups and a little on the back. You have to hold the bass at an angle to the light to see them. Note, there is slight crackle on the balance pot when turning from the middle position towards the bridge pickup. My weight scales are bust at present, but this is one of the lightest basses I have ever played; I would be stunned if it was over 8.5Ibs. Comes with hard case. Open to trades for 5 string.

Rumble Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thanks. I'm in no rush to see it gone so will wait for the right offer (ie not a straight trade for a £500 bass!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrendall Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 By the looks of the controls I’m assuming this is passive? If so I will have to have a damn good think and perhaps launder funds away from the wife through the Bank of Mum & Dad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroydiamond Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Think this is an active. Pedulla are high end quality. This is a total bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 It is active, but the controls are the same as a passive bass. In use, it's effectively a boosted passive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
