This bass has a retail price of >11K USD (+shipping and customs). Some wear here and there but nothing serious. Has recently received a professional refret (previous owner had it converted to fretless) with small vintage frets - they are perfectly leveled. Action could be setup extremely low without buzz. Everything works 100%.

Pedulla Pentabuzz and Hexabuzz models are well known for their wonderful fretless sounds and their easy playability. This model is even a step UP !

And - on hold for a fellow basschatter ...

Rare original [size=5]Wal fretless 5 from January 1992[/size]

Spec:
American Walnut Facings
Mahogany Core
Indian Ebony Lined Fretless Board
34"
5kg
Original Wal Hardcase

Wonderful fretless for connaisseurs ! Dings and Dongs all over the body but nothing serious. A small area of belt buckle rash on the back. The board shows only minor wear from Roundwounds. Look at the pics please.

3 of the small control cavity cover screws are missing. I'm sure I have them somewhere but could not find them actually.

Everything works well.

SOLD

ON HOLD pending

Potential and enthusiastic buyer disappeared into nothing. Boring.

Still available. Open for cash offers. The GBP is just falling again, so price will increase in UK in the next days.

What is the weight ?

I used to own this particular Grosh a while ago. It's a great Fender-ish 5er with a huge low B and a rich and articulate midrange.

Good luck with the sale.

Now SOLD.
Thanks

Now trade-wise probably interested in a Jazz or Precision Bass 5 clone from Lull, FClef, Sei, whatever ...

Thanks. Yes, it is even more breathtaking if you could see it in person. Just made a fresh surface lifting with Carnauba wax and the Buckeye top developed a 3-dimensional flame pattern... really nice. I love these Amber Buckeye colours.

Pedulla Thunderbuzz ET6F Zebrawood Top 34" Fretless

Specs:

Zebrawood top
Flamed Maple body
5-pc laminate neck neck
Ebony board with lines and dots, gloss finished
34 scale
Dual action truss rod
Gold hardware
18mm spacing at bridge
Soapbar pickups made for Pedulla by Bartolini
Controls: volume, pan, bass boost/cut, treble boost/cut, Thunderguts low mid switch (toggle)
Oil urethane satin finish
Built 1996 (serial 59xx)
Weight 4.6 kg

Pedulla fretless basses are well known and sought after all over the world for their smooth and singing, yet pronounced and responsive sound, prefered by some of the top fretless players. And this particular 6-string is a wonderful proof of this reputation - construction-wise similar to the popular Pentabuzz and Hexabuzz models, but with its wooden upgrades a step up in quality (and price range).

The playability is excellent with low action. The B is strong and growly and VERY well defined which is not common for fretless basses. It is so easy to get a singing MWAH out of it as well as a Manring or Jaco-like staccato fusion fretless sound.

The bass is in excellent condition and you won't believe that it is from 1996 - no dings on the neck and body. As always on these boards the finish shows distinctly the use of Roundwonds, which I tried to point out in the pics. The board finish was chipped out on very small areas along the sides of the neck - also shown in the pics. But this is not affecting playability in any way and the board has plenty of life on it as it is.

Comes in its original hardcase and with the original truss rod tool.

Retail price of these models today is >6000 USD, which does not include shipping and tax. More info at [url="http://www.pedulla.com/html/thunderbass.html"]http://www.pedulla.c...hunderbass.html[/url]

This is a wonderful resonant and explosive, yet organic sounding Fodera.
