Bump

Hello again, It appears I've been the victim of the old and entirely aggravating disappearing buyer syndrome, so, that combined with the fact that the cheque my employer gave me for wages owed going all the way back to September bounced, again, my '78 precision is up. I'm in serious need of funds. It's the standard maple neck, black PG, sunburst type. Sounds lovely. It has been relic'd by the previous owner however I always seem to get good feedback about that, I certainly like how it looks and everyone else seems to too . It has character. I can't really add much more to this, it's a P bass! It's been set up recently and is lovely. Price is £1000+PnP. I'd prefer buyer to collect though, I'm happy to meet too! I'm all over the country with work and stuff so I'm sure we could arrange something. Thanks! Ash

Hello there, I'll update with photos and the like over the weekend, but I just thought I'd get the post out there. I'm looking to part with my Pedulla Rapture. It's the single soapbar version, 5 strings with 19mm string spacing. Rosewood board and dark cherry burst finish. It's one of the earlier models IIRC and has a pretty cool story to go along with it too - IIRC it got brought in with the first batch Mansons got over here, and was transferred over to the Bass Cellar, who then lost it and couldn't find it for a number of years! Anyhoo, when I bought this, while it had been lost for a number of years I am the first owner. I'm looking to move it on since it seems a shame for it not to be played. It's a wonderful bass, the problem is I'm just using my MTD more. Anyhoo, this is a feeler as things stand. I'd be looking in the £850ish region for it, though happy to entertain offers. That would include official hardcase + owners manual + truss rod adjusters etc. Might be interested in a trade, but I'd be more interested in trade + cash to you to trade up as it were. I'm looking Spector, Sadowsky etc at the mo, and am only interested in 35" scale on 5 strings or longer. Thanks Ash

Also would like to add I am in Leeds/Liverpool and Manchester around xmas so I will be further north as well . I'm also working in Brum during the week things can be arranged

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuump

[quote name='spacebeer' post='672932' date='Dec 3 2009, 10:29 AM']Well it's the exact head I bought from ashevans09 so his reply should answer most of your questions. It was supposedly owned by the guy from As I Lay Dying and I bet it seen it's fair share of use. But like all Mesa gear it's built bomb proof and is absolutely fully functional.[/quote] This one was mine? Of course!

[quote name='Toasted' post='672586' date='Dec 2 2009, 10:23 PM']I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing selling this bass. I've just been playing it and it's very nice. It sounds so even. I might have to find another way to fund my Grail.[/quote] Aaaaaah! What's the grail?! Aaaaah! Just give us a clue - vintage or modern?

[quote name='chris_b' post='672724' date='Dec 3 2009, 12:37 AM']Why would you need to? With a step down transformer you don't need to spend any more money![/quote] I used to do this with my old BB750 too. It was an american model of As I Lay Dying fame. Anyhoo apart from the fact the step down transformer cost me a hell of a lot of money (around £250 mark IIRC) it weighed a bloody tonne and the power it required used to blow venue fuses on a regular basis. Part of the reason I got rid of mine. I loved the tone but couldn't be arsed with it anymore. It paired wonderfully with my Epifanis. Good times . Anyhoo, the internal modification can most definitely be done. I found two techs who were willing to do it. I just can't for the life of me find their details. But that said, it can be done, and IIRC the quote I got given was for around £300-400. So a bit more than the transformer but worth it to avoid hassle. That aside though we haven't even established if it would require this yet would we? To the OP - would this mod need doing? Wonderful wonderful amp, whoever gets this won't be sorry Anyhoo, after giving into temptation and watching the entire Back to the Future series in a row (damn you sky anytime!) I really should go to bed. Work in 4 hours, woop! night x

Another epic bump

Just out of sheer curiousity, what's the holy grail? Oh yeah, have a bump. Pretty bass

WANT WANT WANT! My 535 is incredible. Whoever gets this is going to need a new pair of pants. Seriously.
