Mokl Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Stumbled across this dude on Youtube. Cool chops, lovely feel and just love the tone. Is he well known and I've just missed him?!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Not seen much of him recently but i was following him a few years back and was higely impressed by him. I put him up there with Allain Caron. Great at fingerstyle and his melodic slap is quite enviable. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Here he is from 2017 with his band at the Firefish Festival. Kinda nice and light. Edited November 15, 2021 by dmccombe7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 He is a great player. I used to love seeing him in all the Pedulla promotional videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some vids from 2019 and he still had a good head of heair and ponytail and still with his Pedulla so i'm guessing you were jesting us. 😂 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 WOW that's a proper change of image. Prefer his Pedulla sound to be honest even tho i'm a Sandberg fan. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it my imagination or does the section starting at 0:45 sound like Geddy playing his Wal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 When i use my index finger as a pick i have a tendency to sound a bit like that. Possible i picked that up from watching Doug play good few yrs back. Amazing player and always entertaining to watch. I dont get that effect when i try using a pick just with my index finger as a pick. ??? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Nice stuff. Never heard of him till now. Really like his tone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Def think the Pedulla has a superior sound and suits his style better. Sharper and clearer. The Sandberg sounds a bit muddier altho its a nice sounding bass and i'm a fan of Sandbergs. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave There's something very special and distinctive about the Pedulla sound, I have to agree with you Dave. For a solo bass sound IMO it's pretty hard to beat for its clarity and musicality from the clips I've heard. I say that as a by-stander who's never had the privilege of owning a Ped. Speaking of which, I guess there's a very good reason why our very own @ped decided on his avatar name rather than being "Fen" or "Sandy" 😁 Edited November 18, 2021 by Al Krow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Oddly enough i've never heard a Pedulla used in a band situation but that P/J pick up config they must be pretty decent. I did consider buying one few yrs back when i first saw Doug using his but probably just my wishful thinking that i would be able to play like him. 😂 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I fancied having a Pedulla too - it's a nice shape. But they weigh far too much for me, alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokl Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Sadly for us bass players, Michael Pedulla retired a year or so back. Still regret not jumping on a well-used MVP4 on eBay with a buy it now of £650 some years back 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
