ped Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Oh my. This bass is the reason I’m called ped (used to be pedullaman) - quite a special instrument indeed! Mine was identical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Very smart. Was the board finished when the frets were taken out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanbass Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Is this an active bass or passive ( you mention the controls are vol/ vol/tone)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...not volume-volume...my mistake!!) Edited September 21, 2019 by dejan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippyfloop Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Super tempting. Had one a while back and loved it but it was way heavier than this one, so I sold it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Similar weight to my old MVP4 fretted, which was one of the best basses I've ever owned/played. I px'd it against a Wal Custom which with hindsight I didn't like remotely as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I px'd it against a Wal Custom which with hindsight I didn't like remotely as much. ...in my opinion (and personal experience) Mike Pedulla in the late '80 realized a simple bass concept: maple and ebony (in alternative to many different stripes of wood of others great brands), a simple custom system of pickups and electronics, solid hardware and a neck-through construction that, when well done, give to the instrument a beautiful sustain and richness...I think that, in the second hand market, you can't find a USA boutique instrument with the same value for the money! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Exquisite feel in the playing on the YT video clip, and beautiful looking Pedulla - I wish I could justify a 4th fretless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Looks like a fab price for such a quality instrument! I’ve always held Pedulla’s to be right at the top of quality tree and the tone in the vid only reinforces that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejan Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, I've uploaded another video recorded with the MVP, during rehearsal with an acoustic guitarist. The bass was recorded directly, with only a little of reverb...(so you can ear it with another intrument) 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EljR--Y5oHQ&feature=youtu.be Edited September 24, 2019 by dejan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
