To: Harvey (the) vulture, As you have PM'd me with further questionannable reasoning about our deal, but have Blocked me from replying via PM .. I have no choice but to post here (and on your multiple listings...) .. for this bass - which was part of an agreed 3-way deal involving my Crinson bass going to Howard - H the Bass - his Gibson LP bass going to you, and your 62J coming to me. Arranged over the past week and booked for this morning. Viz:- Dec. 16.Hi David,can you please send me your address. we can get the ball rolling. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Good news - all 3 basses are now packed and ready. I'll be doing the online booking for the Crinson & LP this evening or tomorrow. There might be a collection/delivery problem .. but I think it best to go ahead and see what happens. Monday is always the best collection day .. there's still another week until Xmas .. and we have no idea what might happen post-Xmas: if there is a problem/delay then there's some days to spare this week and bookings can always be re-aranged or cancelled (postponed).[/i] Dec. 18: Hi David,i have booked my bass to go on Monday,but worried it may not get to it's destination before xmas,and via versa. i dont want my bass stuck in a warehouse over xmas mate. Maybe we should arrange a meet up central to all of us,maybe london,that way we get our basses without any probs. cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Hi Harv. Understand your concern (natural) but have now confirmed bookings for Monday (none of our postcodes are currently lighlighted as problems - how are things in your area?) - so it seems all basses are booked and ready to go. Could we see if the collections are made at least and then re-assess if required. You might want to speak with Howard also - not sure if you cc'd this PM (?). London ?!! .. that's 300 miles away from me: on a good run that's a 9-10 hour round-trip and at current rates about £60 in petrol. With the roads the way they are, it could be 9-10 hours each way[/i]. Dec. 19 (21.07): Hi David, im gonna hang on until after xmas mate,gut feeling has got yhe better of me. I have also paid for courier my end to,but will cancel now. Sorry for the inconvince,but i rather just hang 5 for now. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]OK - your call/decision. Is the snow really bad down your way then? Unfortunately, I have no way on now cancelling the DHL collections of the Crinson and LP basses; although I guess I'll be given an option if they're not collected tomorrow. Could you keep me updated as to when you'll actually be sending the Jazz bass as, if things are still running Ok with DHL in all 3 areas, then I'll be the only person without a bass.[/i] Dec. 19 (21.44): Hi David,I suggest dont send your bass untill i have decided what i'm going to do. So please dont send me the gibson bass,as i will only return on arival. [b]I have been made a good offer via someone else at the moment,so i'm in two minds as which deal to go with[/b]. But in this day n age,cash talks im affraid. Hope you understand my decission. Cheers Harv REPLY:[i] Frankly, I think this absolutely stinks. Have spoken with Howard and believe he's of the same opinion. Did you actually package the Jazz bass? Did you actually arrange a Courier? So, NO .. I don't understand your decision at all. You gave no indication until Sat. evening that anything might be of concern, and then seemed to use reasons other than the actual reason to try and postpone the arrangements. It's fortunate that I managed to speak with Howard, as he might have passed the bass to DHL tomorrow morning; and they will not simply return it to sender on your say-so. We have both spent time and effort (and money) in packaging the 2 basses and arranging Courier(s). As you're obvoiusly going to be getting a good cash deal for your jazz bass, I assume you 'll be happy to reimburse the £34 I've spent on DHL Couriers who will now have to be turned away (with some explanation) upon arrival. I notice you'rer a relatively new BC member ... I'm hoping your tenure will be relatively short[/i] Dec.19 (22.45): Hi David,i have honest packed my bass n paid over £25 for the couirer mate,but £25 is nothing to loose if im getting a Stingray bass,ampeg cab and £100 is it ! As i said money talks,also you should of taken my concern on sat night seriously,but i think you thought your pushy techniques would put me in a corner mate. Unless i get an even better offer,then i think it's in my interest to go with the deal i been offered this evening. If it dont work out my end,then i will go ahead with this 3 way deal,tho i think you may not want too. Upto you both. I am travelling 100 miles tomo for this deal,so dont think i wasnt serious,i do like to see in the flesh what i'm getting. Sorry again,but at least nothing has been sent at this point. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]Have you spoken with Howard at all? What 'pushy techniques' ??? .. we had all agreed to the 3-way deal and to sending the basses on Monday (tomorrow). If you had packed the bass and arranged £25 Courier, then explain how I was 'pushing you into a corner'? If you have agreed a deal, then I think most BC'ers would feel you should go ahead with it. if you are offered something better before the deal is completed, then fair-enough; but you didn't have the honesty or balls to say that, did you ?!! ... you claimed you were worried about the bad weather; yet now I (we) learn that you're OK for a 100/200(round)? mile trip, so the weather can't be so bad. Nothing has been sent, but money, time and effort have been wasted - due only to you. The only thing you're right about is that this deal will not now go ahead. BC generally runs (well) on trust, with regard to sales and trades .. and you're so obviously not to be trusted[/i] Dec.19 (22.52): By the David,just rereading your reply. i have owned 4 music shops in my time,and in my opinion,money does talk. You had the chance on Sat evening to hold back on the couriers ! YES OR NO ? Well i rest my case. A deal is only done when everyone has agread and signed, or shaken on a deal. Chhers Harv REPLY: [i]You contacted me at about 7pm on Saturday evening with your bogus reason for holding the deal/Couriers .. although you also claimed that you'd already booked yours. I replied immediately indicating that it was best to go ahead as agreed, and the rationale for that You did not send another (bogus/dishonest) PM until 9 pm tonight, by which time I had had to arrange the Couriers for myself and Howard. You did not reveal the real reason for your change of mind and plans until 9.45 pm tonight This is a Forum .. you are not running a(nother) shop You have no 'case' as such[/i] Dec.19 (23.14): So David,you dont think the deal i was offered earlier this evening,is a better deal for me.I will send Howard a PM now,but i thought best start with you as you was doing organiseing couriers your end. Well if thats your attitude,then i will cancel you out the deal,and just buy howards bass instead of going via you. You seem very angered by my decission,trust me mate,it's not worth the stress dude. I have lost over £25 courier costs n time packages my bass with airbags etc.... You spent £34 on 2 couriers collections ? Seems a little cheap to me,as i insured mine at over £1000 i see you reavertised that bass of yours,so good luck. Regards Harv REPLY: [i]It may well be a better deal - that's not the point. You're perfectly within your rights to buy Howards bass, if he still wishes to sell to you. You think I have no right to be angered by your 'decision'? ...'dude' (?!!!). You stated previously that your £25 loss is not an issue as you're due to get a Stingray, amp and £100 ... so you seem to have done OK on your deal(s). Knowing the right Courier(s) to use and having an account reduces prices - you should know that having owned 4 guitar shops; places like GAK send -out instruments for c. £6 I've not re-advertised 'that bass' .. the listing doesn't just disappear because a deal had been made ... or, in your case, has-and-then-hasn't been made[/i] Dec.19 (23.19): Daivid your a rude non understanding person BOLLOCKS TO YOU MUSH......... I GIVE UP REPLY: [i]Thank you : you are obviously a man of integrity and literary talent[/i] Dec. 20 (16.50)Hi Daivid,i knew i was right,DHL phoned me this morning at 9.47am to cancel the collection. So as i said there was no way of even getting these basses around to all involved before xmas,i maybe lucky n get my cash back because of this,i guess to 2 guys was'nt so lucky. All the best Have a good xmas Harv PS, i did inform Howard of my action n decissions. REPLY: [i]?.. right - about what? DHL WERE able to collect from TS and CV this a.m and will be collecting and delivering until Friday. You seem to be contradicting yourself again - you cancelled the deal and your collection (well, you said you had .. now you're saying that DHL did so), not because of the snow but because you thought you had a better deal. Why did DHL need to call you when you'd already cancelled - according to your own PM/words? You need to keep a more careful check on what you're saying, have said and have previously made-up to cover your own dishonesty Whatever the (and your) reason (ing), you confirmed a deal with Howard and myself for which costs as well as time and effort were incurred. re. your PS: PM from Howard at 12:26 today: ... " HI David, no contact whatsoever from Vulture, i did read your PMs but nothing about buying my bass to me! ... "[/i] ... if anybody's managed to read through all this, I hope you understand my rationale and annoyance. I'm sure a lot of BC'ers will have suffered a lot worse both in terms of monetary loss and frustration. But I just felt the need to say something.....

[quote name='4000' post='1062432' date='Dec 18 2010, 01:16 PM']When I bought my new old stock MVP from A1 Music in Manchester in 1994?) they had another Pedulla in that looked very like this, with a faded "washed" green finish, although I seem to remember it was all over (could be wrong though). It was a fantastic bass, as was mine. one of the nicest I've ever played IMO. If I had the funds (wrapped up in my custom Rim) I'd be all over this. Best of luck with the sale.[/quote] Thanks 4K - interesting to know that this might be an unusual factory finish

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1059561' date='Dec 15 2010, 02:12 PM']Great price for a great bass...good luck with the sale.[/quote] ... thanks, Geert !

B u M p (further specs. pending)

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1058782' date='Dec 14 2010, 06:07 PM']My fave question Dave... what does it weigh? [/quote] Good (usual) Q. John: it's 8.8 lbs. on the digi-scales. Wasn't sure if it was your sort of thing (?). I'll add some more specs./details this evening.

Pedulla MVP Custom 4 bass, USA hand built with through neck. Has been modified (in one case by necessity) but is now in excellent overall condition and plays really well. There is an area of buckle rash on the back of the instrument and some laquer/colour has worn off at the neck/body join (E-side) where a previous owner must have rested his thumb. The input jack has been replaced and reinforced (brass jack-plate, which is not original) at some point, where there is a break in the original wood construction. All of these are purely cosmetic & don’t affect the sound and playability. The back of the bass represents the true/original colour of the bass (peacock blue/translucent). I did ask Pedulla if this faded top/finish was an option in those early days and got the following reply:- [i]Hi, David. That serial # was the MVP model, made in 1989.The original detailed sales record is currently unavailable, so I can't confirm what the original color/finish was. In 1989, "Custom" indicated it had "A" grade Flame Maple and the hardware color was gold. We used Schaller hardware back then. It appears that there have been several things done to the bass since then, including electronics changes and jack area modification. Regards, Christine[/i] Although Pedulla seem unsure, I believe the top/front of the bass has simply faded over time (possibly due to the way it might have been stored). The neck is straight (truss-rod easy in both directions) and with the ebony fingerboard provides great sustain. The Bartolini electronics and pickups have been completely upgraded to the newer version used in the latest models, with bass, treble, mid stack and separate p/up controls. The controls are now: stacked p/up controls, mids +/- (with pull/boost) and stacked bass/treble. I’ve also changed the original gold hardware (available, if required, as are the original pots+wiring) to black – with Schaller tuners and a quick-change (slot-in) black bridge. Comes in original hard case (fully functional, but the tolex is badly marked with some areas missing) and with the original Pedulla truss-rod key and instructions. [b]SOLD [/b]for Xmas

Photos below. I need to clear a load of 'project' stuff and will try to photo list over this weekend and coming week. Several necks and bodies, plenty of hardware and some pickups etc. This is by far the best single piece I have (although I do have a MMSR body and plenty of parts to go with it if interested). April 1990 'made in san luis obispo' 4-bolt (x2 !) neck. Has some non-original tuners attached which I can remove if preferred. The neck & f/board itself is in good/excellent condition and has the small headstock-end truss-rod which moves freely both ways. There are some minor strings marks (from roundwounds) to the f/board (but its very smooth to the touch) and the neck has a couple of small dings, both close top the central stripe. It's a beautiful, aged-amber colour and with some nice flame. The 'pocket' area (rear) is 62mm at the bottom (60mm higher up); 105mm long in the rect.-section (120mm. including the angled section, above the pocket) and 13mm deep. SOLD

Parker Fly 4 String Bass. Would love to keep this just for its unique character and light-weight, but it doesn't make sense as it's hardly ever being played. There has been some interest-in and much discussion-of this bass - 'The Parker Fly', not this particular example - but whilst it's a design you're likely to like or loathe, the quality (of construction and tone) and playability is unquestionable. The neck is ultra-slim (but ultra-stable; there is a MM style truss-rod, with key, but have never needed to use it!) and extremely quick. Ludicrously expensive when new/introduced (£2k+) and are now hard to find - particularly in this condition (mint, with the original Parker/Levys gig-bag, also mint, and with all the accompanying bits, when new). It's Ultra-lightweight at just under 7 pounds [i]... "with that unique body shape, the Parker Bass features Quilted Maple Top and Back - Body is 12 Layers of Acoustic Guitar Top-grade Sitka Spruce - 24 Fret Solid Mahogany Neck - 12 Layers of Mahogany-wrapped Carbon Cloth Topped w Carbon-glass Fretboard - Figured Maple Headstock - 2 Custom-wound DiMarzio Ultra Jazz Pickups - Fishman Active Piezo Pickup - Fishman Preamp/Mixer System - Gig Bag Included - Transparent Red... "[/i] sold

Is this a 'Tribute' (MIA), like this (photos below) ? :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170564185574&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ME:B:EF:GB:1123[/url]

.. and now SOLD

Didn't sell on ebay . Decided to BUMP this offer - had BC and local interest but no further response to PM's/emails .. so it's available again. [b]No longer available [/b]

Thanks .. and, ironically, the PAIR+Bag is now ON-HOLD (pending).

[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='1036731' date='Nov 25 2010, 06:43 PM']Mate, you are really gonna have more luck selling these as individual basses![/quote] ... you were more right than I (initally) thought: have 2-3 interested in the fretted and another almost confirmed on the FL ! ... Now, somebody must be looking for a new/padded double gig-bag ... surely (?)

[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='1036731' date='Nov 25 2010, 06:43 PM']Mate, you are really gonna have more luck selling these as individual basses![/quote] Thanks Solo' ... yes, I realise that might be easier but wanted to offer the pair intially: as stated, I'll happily sell each individually if there's interest. But that will mean there'll be no gig bag (or just one bass with a double gig-bag):-

BassPORN link and description:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89598&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89598&hl=[/url] [i]Having taken ages to complete this matched pair of Tokai J's, thought I'd share the result (and ideas, if interest) here ... although not sure if it's the right place (?). Bought the two (identical) basses online. There's no fretless version available - so then had to source tools (fret removal) and investigate what's available to create something similar to the glossy finish on the Pedulla basses, whilst avoiding the use of superglue or epoxies (which sounded a bit risky, with limited skill/s and resources). So, basically, all I've done is to remove one neck (after spending some time playing the basses and deciding which was the better fretted/fretless option), then spent hours removing frets, filling slots (decided to use filler rather than veneers, as I knew I wanted to try the poly-coating; and a more subtle red-mahogany, then the usual white-maple) and then sanding & coating the f/board. Quite pleased with the results (see photos) - as the basses feel exactly the same and the fretless has worked-out pretty well; not quite as glassy (or Perfect !) as the Pedulla boards ... but it does 'sing' and resonate well (plent of 'mwaaahh'). I've decided to use some LaBella Deep-Talkin' flats on the FL initally, just to see how the finish copes - although it is described as 'the toughest finish for all interior woodwork/furniture (heat, impact, alcohol & solvent resistant)' and was/is used for Bar top coatings (hence the alcohol reference!).[/i] They're still as per the photos - only been used at home and for occasional practice. Just played/checked them and both are fine. The Tokai body is slightly larger and more slab-like than the contoured USA/MIJ Jazz(es). But the necks are very slim/comfortable and all electrics etc. are fine. The double gig-bag is new and well padded (with a neck-support/strap) and I like the inner arrangement, in that the basses face away from each other. The instruments generally sell online for c. £270 but there's no fretless offered and the white ones aren't so common. Limited appeal (?) but might be ideal for somebody thinking of a budget Jazz and/or fretless Jazz. I'd prefer to sell together and will allow some time for this to happen, but will consider splitting (and selling the gig-bag separately) but only if confirmed buyers for the two (/3). sold (pending)

I had one of these up to a couple of years back :- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18479&st=0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18479&st=0[/url] ... agree with seeming concensus that they are excellent instruments ! I think mine sold for c. £360, if that helps ...

Thanks Rich/sorted ! ONLY the Status 1/2 or Flat-wounds available (curently). One set of PV's is SOLD, the other is on-hold (pending) The DR Blacks are also SOLD (pending).

Hi Rich ! .. the PV's are nickelwound (... and 'thermalfused' !! .. whatever that means*) and will be fine for a J' if you're OK with 45-105's (40;65;80;105). It's what PV fit on their high-end range. * ... (according to PV) ..." thermal-fusing technology ensures that the Cirrus Bass string will be bright sounding and long lasting.No dead spots, no loose winds. .. the T-F process electronically welds the core to the wrap, ensuring tightness, eliminating slippage and premature tone-loss, Tight, punchy ... with clarity and articulation...
