FT: Pedulla Thunderbass ET5 Quilt

scubaduba · #1 12-18-2011, 07:11 PM

EDIT December 22: Adding For Sale price since I've got a bad case of G.A.S. for something right now.

This is a beautiful Pedulla ET5 Thunderbass, with a AAA (conservative rating) quilted maple finish. It is a beauty and plays great. Balance is perfect. Frets are in great shape, neck is straight.

I'm not sure I want to do this but I just am wondering what else is out there.

Has been well taken care of. No smoke exposure. I meticulously take care of my instruments.

Includes Pedulla Thunderderbass hard shell case and truss rod tool. Case is in excellent condition with just a few light scuffs.

Bass is in excellent condition. Just a couple tiny "dimples" that you can't notice unless you're looking for them. Electronics are all in working order and sound great. I put a new set of Pedulla steel strings on it recently. Has Straploks.

It really is a fantastic instrument. Sounds great. Super fast neck. If you've ever held one you know what I mean. I've owned many high end basses and this one is right up there. Pedulla makes seriously good handmade instruments.

So I'm putting this feeler out there. I'm interested in trades for one of these but must be 5 string:
Sadowsky Metro
Possibly a Warwick Streamer or $$
Roscoe
Maybe a Ken Smith of some kind
Have something else in this league? Let me know.

For a selling price let's shoot for $2050 shipped CONUS.

To quote Borat, "It's niiiiiiiiiiice."

Thanks. It has an ebony fingerboard.

Anybody have a Dingwall Combustion or ABZ? Been interested in trying one of those too.

What is the weight? 34" scale?

DaveAceofBass · #11 12-20-2011, 09:32 PM

Wow! Two of these in the classifieds at the same time!

According to my digital bathroom scale the Pedulla weighs just under 10 lbs.

Darn, I wish my old back and shoulders could handle that!

I was really surprised actually when I weighed it. I've never felt it was heavy at all. Probably because it balances so well. Now the Warrior I once had? Whoa. That was heavy. Heck, my digital scale could be off for all I know too.

PM's replied. A couple deals in the works.

I've got a potential trade deal in the works but something has come up I've got a bad case of G.A.S. for. So I've added a selling price to the first post in the thread.

Couldn't figure out how to change the title of this posting so I re-listed here:
