Is this bass still available?

Sent you a couple of PMs.

HD video camera + the incredible waveforms of bass string action = a video you will repost many times. :cool: http://vimeo.com/4041788 yes, probably suited for the DB forums, but i'm sure any bassist can appreciate the beauty of the low-end captured in such a brilliant visual. enjoy...

Thanks for the input y'all! took my bass down to Mike Pedulla's shop (I live in southern MA), and I was wrong about the electronics - as some of you mentioned, it was the battery box that was loose! a quick replace by the master luthier (and a replaced aging input jack for preventative...

How many years should a bass guitar's electronics (pickups and preamp) last before failing or needing replacement? I own a '95 Pedulla Rapture and just plugged in to play, and it gave no signal. Not even enough response for a tuner (Korg TuneJack) to tune. Completely dead, even after putting...

BigOldHarry speaks the truth. +1 to more $$$ in practice tools, lessons, DVDs, whatever pushes you to progress. :bassist:

1995 Pedulla Rapture (before the Pedulla lettering ended up above the tuning pegs)

Recently acquired a 1995 Rapture RBSB-4 (well-loved and played by a couple of TB'ers) in a swap for my 1997 Fender Jazz. My first trade, and a great decision. :D From what i've read on the very few recent threads on this instrument, I know that the SB sound isn't for everyone, and i know the...

they might as well be "nekkid chicks," with the helpess addiction/countless hours lost collectively to this forum... darkened room, glowing screen, any self-proclaimed TB'er has been there, no?

to each his own... sentimental value, IMO, is a great reason to keep a bass around: to play well after the original owner has passed on, to put in a display case and honor, or to teach new learners with. but if it's not treated in such a way that carries the meaning along (i.e. thrown into a...

that one looks pretty close, Engine207... in the listing though, she mentions a good amount of wear right after the upper horn (in the picture it's right in front of the kid's arm). Ton of finish wear that goes down to the natural under the finish. Looks like that's the one major...

Hello fellow TB'ers. One of my first threads, do let me know if i'm following protocol or not. Was sifting through my Craigslist subscription posts, and found this one: a search for a bass with very high, seemingly genuine sentimental value. I don't know this person/people, but thought it...

Underrated? I vote for luthier Mike Pedulla of Rockland, MA. After playing a Fender Jazz for years and seeking out a new sound, I acquired one of his Rapture RBSB-4s in a trade recently. I'm constantly in awe of the tight, immaculate build quality, versatility of tone, and gorgeous look. As...

This was my former bass, well loved and kept almost immaculately for 10+ years. Low action, frets perfect, and gorgeous ash natural body for wicked smooth Jazz tone from an excellent era (Late 90s ruled for the Fender Jazz) of the MIAs. Can't say enough about it... a real player's bass. I miss...
