    Having once owned a 63 Jazz and a 68 P (don’t ever sell your stuff…), I would have to play different ones until one just works for you. The nice thing about Fender is that everyone plays them, so if you find one you really like, then do some research regarding strings, bridges, etc. I have a 2011 Mexican P bass. I hated it with the rounds it had on it. Switched to a string I know I liked and things got better med brite flats).

    Pedulla MPV-5's have 19mm spacing option....

    Interested, but need someone to buy my G&L Tribby first.....
  4. dclaassen
    It’s a nice bass...interested?

    I would post, and will try to get you pics in the next couple of days.

    I find on passive basses (P or J), I run wide open. On any active bass I have owned, about halfway is a good place to start...the MPV sounds really happy at this setting, and not so much wide open.

    If you wanted to go old-school..how about an acoustic rig with that 4x15 cab...or 2?

    I use Elixer nanoweb Nickles 45-105, with a 125 B....

    Totally depends on style and personal preference. I'm not a tapper or a slapper, so have sometimes opted for foam under the strings at the bridge to emulate an upright sound... I seem to remember that the old Electra Outlaw bass I owned (wish I still had it) that, along with plug-in sound modules, had adjustable mutes on the bridge.

    Depends on the gig...for jazz I'd go with my Hartke 12" kickback, DI'd , otherwise, an old Fender Bassman mic'ed...don't tell me modelling works..I know what they sound like. Also, real monitor..not in-ear...grumpy old man yelling at cloud

    Extra brown, but no blue....

    I have no issue with the quality or sound, and I’ve been playing for almost 50 years. I just can’t get used to the neck shape, plus, I know it will not get the use the Pedulla will.

    One website says 8lbs 14 oz... feels to me about like a good P bass
  14. dclaassen
    Can’t get any bites though...

    Would also consider a swap for the right fretless... It's a nice bass....really!

    Bought this and like the sound, just can’t do the chunky neck.
  17. dclaassen
    How about this one?
  18. dclaassen
    I have a decent L2000 trilby for sale....
  19. dclaassen
    I would also welcome reasonable offers on this bass...but I do feel I am in the right ball park.

    Nice trilby...just don’t like the neck. A few small dings that do not effect playability. Comes with a hard case.

    I put the Tribby on the shelf and picked up a Yamaha 614...the neck is better for me and I like the pickup pan option. I intend to make the Mpv my go to bass, but can still fumble a bit with the extra string. Hoping to find old folks in Cambridgeshire to start playing with.

    Does anyone know a tech who would now thier way around the Bartolini setup on my 1995 MPV-5? Some previous owner rewired it, and not in a good way... Thanks!

    Hello, I am 63, American, but have lived in the UK for 20 years. I have played my entire life, but only a bit of it as a full-time pro. I teach music at a school, and don't currently gig, but might when I retire. Gear includes: 1995 Pedulla MPV-5 New-ish G&L L2000 Tribute (currently for sale) Hartke Kickback amp I have to admit that I am a bit of a boutique bass snob....I have owned old Fenders, and loved them as well.....
