Pedulla MVP 5 for sale in very good condition - mainly studio use throughout its life.
Michael Pedulla retired last year so they are no longer being made. Last UK list price for a similarly spec model Was £5,750.
No trades please.
AAA solid maple body wings
3 piece maple neck
Ebony fingerboard
Bartolini (proprietary to Pedulla) P/J pickups
2 band active electronics
17.5mm ABM bridge
Gotoh gold hardware
Very good condition (hardware shows age and some slight tarnishing but body is truly mint).
Frets leveled recently so it plays with super low action if required
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'!
This is a stunning bass, I bought new a Pedulla ET5 Cocobolo, Gold Hardware, Bartolini Pickups Plus
Thunderguts Low-Mids Boost Switch, 19mm String Spacing, Comes with original hard case
Not looking to trade
Price does not include shipping, I will only ship fully insured or can be collected locally

Some buckle rash on back and small amount of finish from back of the high neck (from previous owner).
Electronics in excellent working order and frets in good shape. Lovely low setup.
The bass case is in really good condition overall.
Only rehearsed with it once since acquiring from another basschat owner last year.
It really is an awesome bass and since Michael Pedulla has now retired I would expect these to grow in value, but im just preferring 4 strings recently and have a Pedulla Rapture 4 that gets more use.
Tried to show everything the best I can. If you want any more information or photos I can try get some.
These are really well reviewed, and ridiculously expensive new.
If you want to make me an offer, get in touch.
