    I'm pretty sure this had made a couple rounds on TB, '93 Pedulla TB 6 in black, in excellent playing condition with cosmetic problems. The neck is crazy thin, plays really fast and easy. Big belt wear on back, routed for P pickup in neck slot which since has been covered with a custom pickguard. Bart soapbars and a 2 band-pre amp, straplocks too. Since I got it a couple months ago I've had the frets all redone and got new wiring and an input jack to clear up some of the noise. Got it for 850, put about 250 in it, call it 1000 + ship? Looking for some kind of 4 banger, maybe a J or a Warwick in trade. Comes with Pedulla HSC and truss rod tool.

    Great bass! I played this just before the last owner sold it. The body really resonates. Very nice.

    I love the all-black. Perfect for any gig.

    Used to own this bass. It is one bad mother. If I had the cash, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

    I just saw your flyer up over at the main Berklee building as I was doing a couple of sessions over there. Good luck selling it. Again, great bass.

    I'm desperately hoping some of the high school summer program kids at Berklee will bite, even though they're known to lowball. Apparently moving across the country is expensive, who would've thought?

    Are you moving across country? Are you a student at Berklee now?

    ...sorry for the side show.

    Ya I just graduated in May and I'm going to LA to see what a degree in Bass Performance can really get you. Scary/exciting times.

    Good luck! I can't imagine going to LA (I love NYC) but it's great for studio/session/touring work, as well as for certain types of music, more than say NYC. They each have their +'s/-'s. It'll be a great experience I'm sure. Look up Andy Senesi when you're out there. Fabulous drummer.

    Not intending to hijack the thread, but I did just that (move from CT to LA after spending a couple of years at Berklee), but that was 1984, which was a far, far different environment than now. I did manage to make some inroads into the studios and played many live dates, but I can't imagine the same opportunities exist now. It was, though, quite exciting, living and working in LA at 22--I still value the experience.

    I wish you the best of luck!

    Buy this from PeriodicAl! I sold him this instrument (wish I didn't have to, it is an excellent bass!) and I have nothing but good things to say; easy to talk to, knowledgeable, prompt payment. Unsolicited praise, I might add.
