This bass was mine and is a terrific bass, more versatile than you might think at first glance. Unplugged it sounds exactly like a Pedulla MVP4 (I had both at the same time, so could compare). Plugged, even if it's a passive bass, it has a very good output (but not a crazy one) and the fact that you have a volume and a tone, plus a series/parallel switch per pickup makes it a very versatile bass. Furthermore, you have a phase inverter switch which makes you go back to typical 70's sounds. The 3-way toggle switch coupled to the two volumes and tones adds even more versatility. The frets are still the original ones marked in A position. We examined it closely with Christophe Leduc and came to the conclusion that everything but the bone nut was original. This bass is in fact the 6th made by Mike Pedulla and Sam Orsini (the number 6 is stamped in the pickups cavity and at the back of the control cavity lid as the serial number is a kind of fantasy). The pickups mounting system is also original as there are no holes in the pickups cavities were the pickups height screws would have gone. There were Marshall amps knobs on it that were replaced by more authentic nickel ones, but Mike Pedulla explained that, with Sam Orsini, at that time, they were making quite only repairs and some instruments with what was in the drawers, hence the discrepancy between the 20 to 30 instruments made in 1974~75.

This is a real piece of history !
