Now that’s nice. This won’t hang around long. Alex is a top guy to deal with.

I am a little tempted, any idea why the two holes were made in her?

I think I may have been a previous owner of this bass, the grain is identical. Small world. Glwts.

You have some lovely basses!

Very nice Rich.

Awesome basses for the money. GLWTS.

Really lovely basses the 900’s, this is identical to the one I bought from ex Haircut 100 bassist Les Nemes, very tempting to get another…

Sorry, no longer for sale.

Sold to Chris, aka nationofzeros 😃

Thank you David, she is lovely! 

I keep being pulled back to this beauty, I do love an Aria.

Thank you for kind words guys.

Sadly the potential buyer had to pull out so she is available again you lucky people.

I might be tempted by a Jazz.

Just purchased a lovely Aria CB from David, who is a total gent, friendly and courteous. Kept me updated all the way with great communications, Thanks David you’re a total gent.

If I needed a 4 string P bass I'd be tearing your arm off. 

 

Sadly I'm trying to stick to 5ers so will pass and wish you luck with the sale.

 

Somebody buy this before I crumble and change my mind

As a fellow Hertfordshire lad originally from WGC, I can’t twist your arm 😉

Not to my knowledge, I purchased from Bass Direct. 

On hold to Supabock.

PMs replied to.

Oh my, that’s just beautiful.

Just to add, the price includes the courier costs and I am in the market for a new bass so would consider potential trade for a suitable high end bass fretted or fretless, preferably a 4 stringer. If anyone is feeling generous a Wal would be great 😉

Thanks mate, she is very pretty. 😉

SOLD

Pedulla Pentabuzz in aqua/turquoise burst

Really in two minds about this, but just not getting played. 

For me the best fretless basses out there and since the retirement of Mr Pedulla and the closure of the workshop they are becoming a little scarce. Beautiful to play with a fantastic range of tones, if you’re after ultimate mwah then this is it. Stunning finish changing from blue to green depending on the light.

Sadly she is just not being played and is rather too valuable to be sitting in her hard case.

Due to the current situation with shipping and crazy costs this is a UK sale only, sorry. Comes with a non Pedulla hard case. Purchased from Bass Direct by myself and as their photos are better than mine and she is still in the same lovely condition, just one or two surface marks as expected for a 21 year old, but fairly negligible to eyeI
