bubinga5 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My name is Bubinga5 and im a Jazz Bass addict..I just ordered this from Rudy Pensa at Rudy's Music Stop in New York, and im bloody excited about it..Wanted to share.. I really wanted to get a Celinder, but they are just to expensive!! i have been looking at this bass for a few years, and always liked it..A bit ostentatious, but hey.. i have been speaking to an independant source who has played it, and she said it was killer.... Alder Body, Flame maple top, Ebony FB, Bart pups, Mid switch.. it advertises as a Bart pre, but Rudy told me he has fitted a Pensa pre amp.. Proper photos coming soon..

Platypus Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Had to Google that one - looks very good, when should you take delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hopefully the end of next week P..its been in the shop for a long time, so i guess needs setting up to what i specified.. Seeing as it was made in 2003, i thought it may have been played in the shop alot, but apparently its been behind glass all the time..

Buzz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Are they custom luthier built ones to order? Or are they luthier stock basses? Either way, looks lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 ooh never heard of Pensa.. a review is most certainly in order! Like Buzz said though- lush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a custom builder, but has lots of stock of his Pensa jazz basses at, Rudys Music Stop..their on line.. as well as loads of other vintage Fenders, Ritters, Lulls, Warwicks etc... I think every luthier has stock basses somewhere, as well as built to order... Just to give you an idea.. Lou Reed, Christian Mcbride, Mark Knopfler and Victor Bailey are players of his instruments..

zigmondo Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yep, one is too many and a thousand never enough as they say... ...My, you know how to choose them; your kit list is a roll-call of, er..bespokitude..nice to see you've got that Vintage in there too: did you by any chance pick that up from Aroundabout a few years ago?
