Butchering a Pedulla MVP5.

[MrLenny1]

I'm always amazed...shocked, to see how someone can beat the cr.. out of a $3-4 K
bass. I bought a used Tobias Classic 5 in decent shape but with serious buckle rash.
Oh Well. I anxious to see the refinish on yours.

Blimey took a while to get updated!

So the pickup rout is sorted, had to fill in and rerout the battery box is getting sorted this week. Then off to refinishing!

Get some filler in them seams........stat!

j/k.....

It's coming along, man.... that's a deep pickup route.....

Simple question....I see you are sticking a MM and a p-p/up in together. I have a pos Hohner that I am busy refinishing (p/j config) I was thinking along the lines of what you are doing...thanks for the groundwork. Btw, even though the Hohner is a pos, it plays really nice, hence the effort.

Will the MM p/up compliment the P better than the single coil? I have two passive MM p/ups looking for business...and this might be a solution tothe fact that the j p/up sounds rather lifeless.

Dude, if you play that in Stokes Croft any time in the next three years, I'd love to hear the tone on that.

Its just pencil mate ;-) The old seams were sanded down.

No idea until the bass is finished! However, the EMG i picked has a true single coil mode. So i have a wealth of tones possibly on offer.

Will do! I only played at the croft a few weeks back with my USA Jazz 5 Deluxe. Put together a band and full set in under 3 days to do it too!

Rob.

Awesome. I've yet to master the ability to learn a full set in three days.

And write it at the sametime!

Imagine the classic EMG tone warmed up, and the highs a little more muted, this will give you an imagination point of the sound of that TW, I really like the way that thing sounds, looking forward to seeing this one completed.

These instruments were meant to be played. Keeping an instrument in pristine condition is sort of missing the point.

Still no paint after all this time? Seems you lost interest there after 3/18.
Maybe it was like "season finale" and now we have to wait for the "season premiere" like on TV?

Life happened, it was final year at university and i was studying. Now i have some free time between searching for a job.

Eh?

Anyway! Finally got the paint mix i was after! Took ages due to a certain property which i wanted in the paint itself, trying to find a water based paint with this particular property was pretty hard!

Anyway, spraying will begin this week!

Just from some random on the internet who knew how to take a photo, fix it up and turn it into a vector image. Then i took the image to a vinyl decal company online. Sorry i dont have the details of any of them! It was a fair old while back.

Take a photo of the current logo and find someone to do the same, shouldnt be too hard!

Hey man, missed this thread when it started. Looking good so far, don't sweat the critics. It's your bass, and your muse, follow it. I know it's getting old, but...

 

[Grant Bass]

im with you on the 3 pc, necks; obviously the 2 piece is stable, but i would cover it if i had the means, and you seem to be a "paint" guy;
looks good tho man!
