[quote name='MalGanis' post='1062865' date='Dec 18 2010, 07:57 PM']Hmmm, very nice bass, maybe I would be interested in buying it but not sure, I will follow the thread. By the way, could it be shipped to Spain?[/quote] ... I might be able to ship to Spain; but I'm not sure. I'll follow your lead.

[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='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... Perfection in balance, tone and feel..." Sound wonderful to me! .. but I'm only using 40-100's now.

BuMp ....new/used strings, anyone ?! .... ono's considered.

B u M p + adding some slightly used strings 4-sale:- DR Black Beauty' 5's (45-130's) Extra-Life: hardly used. The only loss of 'black' is from the string post and bridge area(s). I've straightened the ends. Measure: G (103cm); D (109cm): A (114cm); E (115cm); B (109cm). £25 posted (they're £43-45 new) Status Half-Round (Flat-Wound?) 5's 45-130: these are supposed to be half-rounds (as per Status site) but look like Flats to me. Black silks. Little used. Straightened and measured: G (109cm); D (112cm); A (116cm); E (115cm); B (110cm). £11 posted (£21.50 on Status site)

Nigel Crinson handmade '51 Precision - I think this is the only bass that he's done to date. His guitars have attracted a lot of interest from Fender (!) so I don't think any are currently being built (pending). Local luthier (acoustic violins originally) whose instruments have been getting a lot of positive press. I'm attaching numerous photos which I'm hoping might cover any potential questions. The pickup is a unique (I'm told) BullDog 51-P (the only bass pickup they've done?). There are bridge and pickup covers with the bass (51P type). Not sure re. the authenticity (or make) of the bridge. The only minor parts query I had was that the tuners might not be high-end or 'correct' (?). Comes with a lightweight/molded hardcase (as shown) Although it's not my type of thing, having played the bass it is VERY good: great feel/tone and low, even action. The pickup is powerful and provides a great tonal variety (with accompanying tone control and hand positioning) than I'd expected with a simple 51P set-up. The neck is great - much thinner and quicker than precisions I've played previously. The bass is also pretty light at 8.4 lbs. On-Hold/pending.... then, SOLD

Look ... if you buy this bass, then pretty soon (?) you'll be able to impress your friends, like this :- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVcypP3Ohb4&feature=channel"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVcypP3Ohb4...feature=channel[/url]
