cetera Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Over the last few weeks I've picked up a cheapie (Harley Benton) and a gorgeous P workhorse (Fender Japan 70's Classic P) .....and finally got back a bass I should never have sold (Pedulla Buzz Deluxe fretless). I've already upgraded the bridge & put blocks on the Harley Benton fretboard...and will be adding EMG Gzr pickup soon. The Fender already has upgraded wiring and the Pedulla is just lush.... so much 'mwaaaaah'! 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 They seemed to discontinue that Harley just as I was about to buy it. Did you get it 2nd hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The HB is showing available in 2 - 5 days. I was going to get one a while back and it vanished. Whats your opinion on the HB Cetera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats your opinion on the HB Cetera? Oh that's great, they disappeared entirely (along with a lot of their basses) Might sell an effect pedal and buy one.

itu Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I do not care about the others, but I have had a chance to play a similar black Buzz. Gorgeous sound and feel. Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape has always appealed to me though. Gene Simmons' fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 For me the Pedulla is all about that glossy fretboard, just looks like an absolute joy to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. £70. New bridge & block inlay stickers £40. Add the EMG Gzr pickup and I'll be all in for £200. Bargain... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That Pedulla Pentabuzz of @Kiwi is still hands down the best fretless I've ever played, so I'm sure this one is excellent too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Yeah I got my Pentabuzz back in 2005 from vmaxblues and it's been with me ever since. Sounds lush on stage, especially if you can turn the amps up enough to get a little feedback happening on the strings. Then it swells forever, like the middle of the Bering Strait in winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
