This description is from the original post. I have only had the bass a few months. Very nice bass, but a bit too heavy for my old back.

This is a long description, but if interested, please read all of it.
Pedulla MVP 5 for sale, no trades. I bought this bass last year with the all too common broken truss rod end. I removed the fretboard, the old truss taken out, and replaced with a much stronger two-way truss rod that uses a 1/4” Allen wrench to adjust. The new rod has been in the bass for about 8 months, and the neck has not needed any adjusting. This bass has been played and has some scars to show for it. At some time before I got it, it looks to have been dropped, which caused the wood around the input jack to have cracked. I re-glued the cracks and filled/leveled them with poly finish, did I mention I’m a luthier?
There’s a small area in the finish, just in front of the pickup blender knob that I couldn’t get a good picture of. It looks to be an irregularity in the clear coat. I couldn’t get a good picture of it, but thought to mention it.
The tuners have been replaced with gold Gotoh tuners, probably one got damaged in the fall, and the whole set replaced. Frets have been dressed, and are in great condition. I buffed out the finish and got a good deal of the dings and scratches out, but it is a 21-year-old bass that has been played all it’s life. Nice AA flamed maple body and neck. Original NTMB Preamp/ Bartolini pickups are all in good working order. 19mm string spacing. Comes in at a hair under 10lbs.
