 Stumbled across this dude on Youtube. Cool chops, lovely feel and just love the tone. Is he well known and I've just missed him?!! 

 

 

I agree Dave, I preferred the tone he was getting from the Pedulla. Is it my imagination or does the section starting at 0:45 sound like Geddy playing his Wal?

I never picked up on the Geddy thing till you mentioned it. Does sound quite like him. 😂

Ahhh, I'd actually clocked that on the 'other site' , and liked the playing in the vid there but hadn't realised it was the same bloke!

When i use my index finger as a pick i have a tendency to sound a bit like that. Possible i picked that up from watching Doug play good few yrs back.

Amazing player and always entertaining to watch.

I dont get that effect when i try using a pick just with my index finger as a pick. ???

Def think the Pedulla has a superior sound and suits his style better. Sharper and clearer. The Sandberg sounds a bit muddier altho its a nice sounding bass and i'm a fan of Sandbergs.

There's something very special and distinctive about the Pedulla sound, I have to agree with you Dave. For a solo bass sound IMO it's pretty hard to beat for its clarity and musicality from the clips I've heard. I say that as a by-stander who's never had the privilege of owning a Ped. 

 

Speaking of which, I guess there's a very good reason why our very own @ped decided on his avatar name rather than being "Fen" or "Sandy" 😁

Oddly enough i've never heard a Pedulla used in a band situation but that P/J pick up config they must be pretty decent.

I did consider buying one few yrs back when i first saw Doug using his but probably just my wishful thinking that i would be able to play like him. 😂

I think everybody’s confused ,he shaved his head and he’s playing a Sandberg but he still has all his pedullas, he’s just trying something different...he also plays foderas
