Well, it took a few months, but I finally got my Thunderbass outfitted with black hardware. It wasn’t all sunshine and lollipops, however: I had some problems with the only bridge I could find. More on that here. Love the way it looks though! While I had my bass out at the luthier getting...

I’ve had a Pedulla Thunderbass for over 10 years, and never cared for the stock gold hardware. A while back I swapped out the tuners on one of my other basses for some ultra-lights. I now had a “free” set of black tuners on hand, so all I needed to complete the “package” was a black bridge...

A few years ago I picked up a Heartfield 5-string bass off Facebook Marketplace (see club link below). While the bass itself was pristine, the case – not so much. Two of the large metal feet on the bottom were caved in, I assume due to a catastrophic drop event. As a result, the case would...

Here’s my arsenal for this morning, my Pedulla Thunderbass and Tobias Killer B fretless. I like to use the fretless for some slower songs. I’m not proficient at it, but I think I’m getting better, as my wife (who’s one of our singers) no longer complains about me being off-pitch. Regards...

You are a quick study, sir. Best of luck with your project! Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W Standards, and Original Tunes Make Your Own Cables: A How-To Guide Administrator, Official Pedulla Club #45 Administrator, Official Heartfield Club #36...

I had the same problem in the late 1980s with my XP2. Fortunately I was working at a fab shop at the time, and one of the guys made me an aluminum extension that I bolted to the back via the stock neck screws. In fact, there’s a whole thread about this situation as well as solutions here on...

Assuming we’re talking about active monitors throughout, then it’s fine to daisy-chain using “y” adapters. Naturally, it’s a non-starter if you’re mixing active and passive monitors. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W Standards, and Original Tunes Make...

Frankly, I can’t relate to the concept of a “dream bass.” I have seven basses. Each one has things I love about it, and things I don’t like. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W Standards, and Original Tunes Make Your Own Cables: A How-To Guide...

My sincere apologies, @Walk The Dogs, this one got past me. Can’t say I’ve seen many fretless TB’s, but that one is a beauty – love the color! See below for your number, and a belated welcome to the Club! Updated list: (For numbers 1-199, see Post 4488.) 200. punchdrunk 201. bmallory 202...

I’ve had five single-12 cabinets in past 15 or so years: Aguilar GS112, Genzler BA12-3, Acme Low B-112 Full Range, Barefaced Big Baby II Gen 3, and currently a GR Bass NF112H+. The Acme was my favorite of the bunch – deep and tight. The only reason I gave it up was for the benefit of lighter...

What @JimmyM said. The blue reverse burst is cool – reminiscent of Fender’s Heartfield experiment. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W Standards, and Original Tunes Make Your Own Cables: A How-To Guide Administrator, Official Pedulla Club #45...

Wow, killer deal! Enjoy! There aren’t a lot of us here still using racked gear. Most bass players these days seem to be “squatters,” if you get my drift... Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W Standards, and Original Tunes Make Your Own Cables: A How-To...

Well, it was a different facility and crew, so I’m going with “things changed right away.” It obviously won’t be as “desirable” as a #2044 or lower numbered bass, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a good instrument. I guess the question would be if the new crew was in the midst of a learning...

You obviously haven't been keeping up with the state of NEW cars (i.e. the past year or two), which are increasingly a hot mess of insane over-tech. I expect your friend's Toyota and your Scion are many years older. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt Ecclesia: Unique Arrangements of Hymns, P&W...
