I'm not going to do a long drawn out sale pitch but this bass is killing. It has the sound that Pedulla is known for. If you know the sound then great and if you don't go to YouTube and check them out then come back and grab this bass at this low low price..Bart pick ups,22 frets, straight neck, 1.5 nut width and Hardshell is included..

Killer. I wish I knew if the neck would work for me. I prefer chunkier necks and generally thin Jazz style necks don't work for me. I can jive with a 1.5" nut width but only if the neck profile has some chunkiness/heft to it.

Bump for a great bass! I have the fretted version. To be clear, the Series II is a different model than the Buzz Bass. Major differences include: lower price, different shaped body, bolt on neck, 22 frets, different fretboard, plastic control cavity cover, and passive electronics. The Series II were budget priced, but made in the same USA factory as the Buzz and MVP. Pedulla manufactured them from 1988-92. If you look up the serial number on their website, you can find out the exact year yours was made.

Here are photos from pedulla.com comparing the Series II with the Buzz:

SERIES II USED
M.V. Pedulla Guitars, Inc.

My Series II has a slim, fast, and comfortable neck. One player who tried mine insisted it must be 32" scale until I busted out the tape measure and proved it was 34"!

Good luck with the sale. :)

ps Can you post a photo of the truss rod access? A lot of used Pedullas have endured truss rod and/or truss rod nut replacements. Are you including the Pedulla truss rod tool in this sale?

Hey man . This bass is absolutely a monster but I don't play it a lot with the band I'm in. I was thinking about having a pre-amp and finger installed, I called Pedulla and they sent me a price chart but I never followed up and they told me that they don't sell the truss rod tool anymore, they told me to use a socket tool to adjust the neck if ever I needed to but I never needed to, the neck is straight has a ruler, I put the GK pickup on in to get that Tony Levin sound with my V-Bass unit but like I said it's kinda just sitting now and at $1,000.00 + shipping that's a steal.

I'm the original owner of a Series II, and my truss rod and nut look a little different than yours. Pedulla's special truss rods are a signature feature of the brand and came with a wooden-handled, square-bolt adjustment tool. Apologies if I'm wrong, but it looks like your Series II might have had its truss rod replaced at some point in its history. Also I think your nut is a replacement, because Pedulla Series II's have white bone nuts.

I found more detailed photos of this bass on eBay and Reverb, showing the non-original truss rod. And this is clearly not a Buzz Bass. Buyer beware!

Just truss rod cover that shouldn't effect the bass or the player..Do you agree?

This is the original truss rod, nothing have never been changed on this bass since my brother purchased this bass in 91..

A 1991 Pedulla Series II ought to have a three-digit serial number between 323 and 480: M.V. Pedulla Guitars, Inc.

Also the tuners should be at a 90 degree right angle perpendicular to the neck, not the crooked angle shown in your photo.

Michael Pedulla has incredible attention to detail, and that nut and trussrod access cavity just don't look like they came from his shop.

I'll post a photo of my authentic Series II when I get home tomorrow, so potential buyers can make an informed decision.

Cool... You do that..I'm not here to fight over a bass, what bass is better or what year a bass was made, I'm here to sale and if someone want to buy this bass which the serial number is shown in one of the photos then good and if they don't that's still good, I can keep it ,I won't go broke either way..This isn't a big deal to me..
