Pedulla Pentabuzz £2750 Seaton, Devon

[RobJustRob]

Pedulla Pentabuzz fretless bass. Michael Pedulla, who made this bass, has now retired. There are no more new ones to be had. I bought this instrument new in 2003 and it has performed faultlessly, upholding the well-deserved reputation of the brand. It has a shaded red finish with gold coloured hardware. Pedulla specified the Bartolini pick-ups in JJ format to provide the singing highs and growling lows with the stunning ‘MWAAAH’ effect you would hope to hear from a fretless. Included are the manual, trussrod key, Allen key for the bridge and case key. I hesitate to use the word ‘immaculate’ because someone with 20/20 eyesight might find a minute blemish; for the purpose of this listing, let’s just say it is in excellent shape. The case is in fine condition too. The last new price for these was over £5000. I have done my best in the unretouched pictures to bring out the best in appearance. It has been unused for four years now after a change in the music work I do, so it needs an appreciative new owner. Strictly collection only from east Devon, no couriers.

Stunning - GLWTS!

I also have one, Rob. Everything you say about the Pentabuzz is so right. For the sheer pleasure and freedom of playing fretless, it is unbeatable, as is the build quality

Fellow Pentabuzz owner here, fretless basses just don't get better.

I have had the chance to try a Buzz once in a shop. I tried it dry without an amp. A strange guy (g-word player) from the other room came to the door and said with a smile in his face: "This has to be a fretless Pedulla!"

 

Nothing more to add.

I have a Buzz 4 string from the same era. Stunning instrument to play; it is my reference fretless bass.

 

This one looks gorgeous and will no doubt bring the same grin to the face of any new owner as mine does for me.

 

GLWTS.

What is the string spacing on this fretless piece of freedom?

[RobJustRob]

Thank you for contacting me. The spacing is about 18mm, but the excellent bridge allows you to adjust both vertically and horizontally so you could adjust the string spacing to suit you. Cheers, Rob

Hi, do you still have this bass?

Thanks
