VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : FS - Pedulla Thunderbass
Bierce85 12-05-2007, 03:10 PM Hey guys,
I paid my $20 for a good place to sell this thing outside of evil-bay! :)
I have a 5-string Pedulla Thunderbass from 1994. It's got a beautiful purple flame finish I don't think they do anymore. There are some small scratches and dings but overall the bass is in good shape. Also, the pots are scratchy and need some basic work. I bought this bass about a year ago from a rich friend who's dad bought it new for him at the age of 14 when he told him he wanted a bass. The thing sat in it's case for the overwhelming majority of it's life. Included is the pedulla owners kit with the special truss rod tool and a hardshell case.
Anyway, I'd like to get $1250 + shipping. If the buyer wants to use paypal that is fine but I'd rather do checks/money orders or google checkout (free until jan 2008). Not interested in trades.
Contact me by phone, email or through here.

capnsandwich 12-05-2007, 04:01 PM Wow that bass is gorgeous. Is that a flamed purple heart top or maple?
Where is $1300 when you need it? :mad:

Where is $1300 when you need it? :mad:Thanks for the compliment.. I believe Pedulla uses a maple top but I could be wrong.
Bierce85 12-06-2007, 11:21 AM a couple more pics
does this have 17.5mm string spacing or 19mm?
alembic5 12-06-2007, 12:05 PM Wow, beautiful! Nice price too. I love my NT5 Thunderbass... a really great instrument!
Bierce85 12-06-2007, 12:37 PM does this have 17.5mm string spacing or 19mm?
This is the 17.5 mm version. I find it to be a lot more easy to play, but I also have small hands.
Bierce85 12-06-2007, 12:46 PM Wow, beautiful! Nice price too. I love my NT5 Thunderbass... a really great instrument!thanks for the compliment. It really is a fine instrument. Back before I bought it I had a spector rebop bass that was OK. I went to my buddy's house one day and played his dad's thunderbolt and I couldn't believe the way the thing rumbled with every note! It's almost like every fret on every string is a sweet spot as opposed to most basses which have a couple real sweet spots and a bunch of stiff "choked" sounding/feeling notes. It's truly a world class instrument and deserves an owner who will treat it right and play the hell out of it. I am a hack bass player and this thing is quite simply too good for me. I hate to see it go as if there's one piece of equipment I'd call my "baby" this would be it. I found it much easier to part with my Sonor cast bronze snare drum.

It is very nice, but it is not a maple "top" - the wings are solid maple - very unique. I have one similar to yours but Vintage Cherry Sunburst instead.
That's a nice price too.
rootsviberi 12-07-2007, 12:21 PM I have personally played this very bass and I must say it plays and sounds amazing. Bill is my roommate. Somebody buy this bass before I do.
Bierce85 12-09-2007, 02:16 AM bump
capnsandwich 12-09-2007, 05:41 AM Wow, no one's taken this yet? I was just playing one of these yesterday and I was in awe of how easy the neck was and how well it sounded. These basses are awesome. Whoever gets this won't regret it. Dude, $1300 is a freakin' steal for a bass of this quality.
Bump for an awesome bass.
Bierce85 12-09-2007, 10:02 AM agreed and thank you!
Bierce85 12-12-2007, 10:22 AM BUMP!
Bierce85 12-13-2007, 10:46 AM ... and bump
moonbass-de 12-13-2007, 11:30 AM Are you interested in a deal: My 2002 limited edition Warwick swirl bubinga four string and 300 bucks via paypal for this nice pedulla?
Bierce85 12-13-2007, 11:46 AM sorry, not interested in trades at the moment as I'm selling the bass so I can buy some preamps for my recording rig. Thanks anyway!
Bierce85 12-14-2007, 08:33 PM bump
Russell Bergum 12-15-2007, 11:46 PM Bump for a great bass at a great price! I have the same model in vintage cherry burst. This is a great bass. Whoever buys it could send to Pedulla and have it upgraded with the lastes pickups and Thunderguts circuitry and have a killer bass at a steal of a price.
Bierce85 12-18-2007, 08:12 AM bump!
We're getting really close to christmas so I doubt anyone will want it in the next week, but let me know if you'd like to buy after christmas. The bass is still very available!

basspro557 12-23-2007, 06:10 PM What are the controls?
Bierce85 12-28-2007, 03:46 PM sorry for the delay.. I believe the controls are volume for each pickup and then a "tone" control.
Bass is still available!
Bierce85 01-04-2008, 12:43 PM bump and price drop
