SUP GUYS...
i need u guys opinion about a fretless bass I'm going to buy this week...
a friend of mine is offering me a pedulla Buzz passive PJ conf. bass and an Ibanez GWB1 the gary willis japanese version....
The ibanez is $1200... And the pedulla goes for $850
so the question is...
what should i go for?
i've tried a Pedulla pentabuzz before and i loved it, but i've never tried the Ibanez Gary willis...
so thats why i need u guys to help me to decide...

thanks a lot and best regards...

never tried the ibanez gary willis. but i've owned 3 pedullas and each one is awesome. IMO, one of the best fretless basses offered on the market. why don't you play both and see how it feels...i'm guessing that since both are used, you might want to consider the overall condition of the basses too? thx.

I'd play them both then decide, everyone else's opinions are great but it comes down to what you like the best.

I will say that 1200 is on the high side for that GWB-1, 1k is more reasonable. I have one and I love it, it's easily the best playing bass I've come across but it takes some effort to setup properly, especially when taking into consideration the ramp, which for me as a major bonus.

Yeah man thanks for the advice...
I end up getting the Ibanes GWB1 and really really loved it...
The pedulla was a nice bass but this particular one had some kind of truss rod repair and it was the main reason I got the Ibanez...
And I end up paying $900 bucks for it and I'm really happy with it...
Thanks everyone for the big help...
"Can't go wrong with Talkbass family!!!
Cheers!!
