deej Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ok, so my GAS has been building now over a Pedulla Rapture for about 2 years. My main problem is trying to find one, especially with the pickup configuration that im looking for. Im after the RB4 with the single soapbar, but the very few I keep finding seem to have 2 jazz pups, or it's a 5-string, or anything else not quite right. Any suggestions on where I might be able to pick one up, or will I have to bite the bullet and buy one new for a ridiculous amount of money?

franzbassist Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I believe [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk"]Mansons[/url] are their UK dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Secondhand, from the USA is your best option to get the configuration you want at a "realistic" cost..plus the risks of shipping etc. Mansons are great to deal with, but they are never the cheapest - give them a good haggle and see what they can do for you? American producers (even the small ones) are generally used to discounting heavily through their dealers, so ignore the list prices as a starting point - its always worth asking.

deej Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wow, £2099 is a lot of money. I've been having a look over on Talkbass and ebay, but these basses just dont seem to come up too often. Looks like I'll have to count my pennies a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
