1997 Pedulla MVP in Amber Sunburst. Comes with original Pedulla hard case – I am the original owner.
Time to pay for some of my excess GAS sins. I am going to sell a few basses, beginning with my Pedulla MVP. I custom-ordered this bass in 1997. It was my first ‘premium’ bass and I spared no expense at the time. I first became familiar with the Pedulla's when Mark Egan began playing them. Pedulla retails the current version of the MVP for $5,000.
This bass has had very little playing time and has never been gigged or even been out of my house. The finish does have a few nicks as shown in the pictures below. This bass has wonderful tone and resonance with a very fluid neck. If you are familiar with the Pedulla's you know what I mean. It’s special instrument and belongs in the hands of a player who will take advantage of it.
Here’s some info from the Pedulla website:
Here’s a nice video of Doug Johns playing a current version of the MVP.

Here’s some info from the Pedulla website:
The MVP is a fretted bass featuring neck-through body construction for superb sustain and tone, plus a sleek and facile neck shape, ebony fingerboard, and a beautifully sculpted flame maple body. The ergonomic design includes a deep cutaway on the treble side for easy access to all 24 frets, and an extended bass-side horn that provides a perfect balance point when a strap is used.
A three-piece laminated maple neck passes through the entire length of the body, providing maximum focus and sustain. In addition, a double-acting truss rod and two steel stiffening bars in the neck reinforce and maintain stability. The 24-fret ebony fingerboard is inlaid with 5mm mother of pearl dots, and its hardness resists wear and contributes to the MVP's distinctive tone and sustain.
