  1. Nooooo my new fave bass ;-) I still get first dibs right?
  2. Just ordered the Hipshots now! No more parts to buy now with any luck.
  3. Just ordered the EMG-MM5-TW from MB-Music, though they have to get it from the EMG distrubuter (Who have one left in stock) Just the Hipshots to go now!
  4. Due to forum rules you MUST put a price on your advert. Please do this soon.
  5. I am somewhat bored at the moment with fretless and not playing it at the moment, so decided to put this up and see what trade offers i get [size=3][b]Description[/b][/size] Here we have a fantastic example of a Pedulla Pentabuzz 5 String. I have had the bass for nearly 2 years now and its been a joy to play. I have never had a problem with it, smooth to play. Made in the USA around the year 2000. [size=3][b]Specification[/b] [/size] This example is a Dark Cherry red burst with minimal yellow. Premium 5AAAAA Solid Flame maple body, with maple neck, bare ebony fingerboard, Premium bartolini pickups and NMTB 2 band bart pre-amp. Pedulla/ABM branded hardware. Hardware is all Gold. 19MM String spacing, 34\" scale. The bass also includes a Pedulla hardcase. [size=3][b]Functionality[/b][/size] The electronics, Jack socket and truss rod has no issues whatsoever and are fully functional. The neck is straight as an arrow. [size=3][b]Playability[/b] [/size] This bass is setup for me personally, this is a very personal unique setup which some people may not like, this includes an incredibly low action, ultra light stainless steel strings (110-30) which are tuned B to G. However the bass has plenty of leeway in truss rod adjustment and Bridge saddle adjustment so the new owner can personalise the bass with their own setup with NO problems. This is THE best fretless i have ever played and probably the best fretless made currently. [size=3][b]Sounds[/b][/size] The soapbar bartolinis are a good mix of burpy Ken Smith sound, to a upright woody neck pickup sounds. Its a quality setup, much preferable IMO to the P-J version. [size=3][b]Condition[/b][/size] The bass is near perfect in all particulars. Not much to note. Very very VERY minor fretwear. [size=3][b]Price/Trades[/b][/size] £1350 Straight trades: NONE Part Exchange (With cash my way) Fender USA Deluxe 5\'s in Montego black Plus cash/1X Musicman 5 string plus cash/Gibson Grabber plus cash/ [size=3][b]Delivery[/b][/size] I can offer a hand delivered service to your nearest major train station for the same price as postage would have cost, however this offer is only available to people willing to meet within 200 miles of Bristol. You can also pick up the bass locally in Bristol. Where you can try it out through my Ampeg/Trace/Barefaced rig. I can post nationally or internationally, buyer pays all costs. [size=3][b]Other information[/b][/size] The Pedulla requires a special truss rod tool, which can be bought from mansons in Exeter online and any other Pedulla dealer. I only have one and require it for my fretted Pedulla. However if needed i can demonstrate that the truss rod works 100% in this bass using my tool before purchase. If you require any other information or specific photos of the bass, please let me know either by PM or my E-mail address [email protected], My number is also available for serious buyers. [size=3][b]Photos: Any white marks are either dust or light reflections, no dings or missing paint here![/b][/size]
  6. Cmon guys you know the rules by now. Deleted posts relevent...
  7. Pete bought some Bartolini Pups from me, pleasant chap, fast payment, knew he wanted them straight away. Hassle free transaction, cheers mate! Rob.
  8. [quote name='joegarcia' post='769945' date='Mar 10 2010, 12:15 AM']I just knew you'd come in with that. I swear I'm cursed but it has nothing to do with what I am using them for.[/quote] How many amps did you borrow from "other" people recording that album?
  9. Maybe parts i ordered have arrived!
  10. [quote name='evoman' post='766550' date='Mar 6 2010, 11:44 PM']Okay, and what exactly is this wonderful 'effectively' bolt-on Pedulla? I am a huge Buzz fan and considered this one, but I prefer a 4 string traditional Buzz over a Penta (which I used to own, but which proved to have too many strings for me).[/quote] The photos he posted in the post before yours are that of a Kinal Custom V. Lovely looking bass!
  11. [quote name='yorick' post='766408' date='Mar 6 2010, 07:54 PM']Nice sanding job... how long did it take?[/quote] About 4 hours start to finish. I tried using industrial stripper which did NOTHING, Best thing for it was the heat gun and scraper.
  12. Sanding complete! I used a heat gun couple with the end of a fine chisel to get the most stubburn areas out, and fine sanded it. Not perfect, but not bad for a first try! (Most of the black dots on the bass are just debris i needed to clear off the wood. Looking to fill a set of tuner holes in next! No more Pedulla Logo
  13. DAMN, sorry guys its actually a 2 Band Pre-amp, something must have gone awry in my brain when i was putting up the advert! Controls are, Bass, Treble, Balance, Volume, Mid switch.
  14. [quote name='josh3184' post='764594' date='Mar 4 2010, 11:20 PM']May sound like an odd question, but have they got lots of wire on them? Reason I ask is that I've had to deal with pups which have had their wire snipped to a tiny length making them near impossible to fit [/quote] Theres loads mate! When Micheal Pedulla reinstalled all the electronics 2 years ago he had to use a cable tie on the pickup wires so that they wouldnt go wild in the pre-amp section. 27CM of wire on the P pup and 27CM of wire on the jazz.
  15. Hey guys. Need to shift these on, Preferably picked up. As i have no idea how much postage would cost. Kamikase 2U flightcase style rack case. Metal fixtures and bracing. £30 IMG Stageline Wooden rack case. 4U, blue fluffy coating, Durable plastic Bracing and handles. £40. Pickup from Bristol. Payment via bank transfer or Cash. Shipping available but unsure of the price. Cheers! Rob.
  16. [quote name='jmsjabb' post='764548' date='Mar 4 2010, 10:20 PM']Would these work with any pups and 4 strings?[/quote] Yup, any pickups and any amount of strings.
