The price is around 2.000,00 Euros

is this a good price for this beauty?

If you can try it before you buy it: see if you like the balance, and if it is a 'player.' There's some variance from Pedulla to Pedulla IME, and the good ones are very much worth that money. Hard to sell, though, so you are looking at making loss if you decide to sell.

Thanks vilkai, i will try it for sure

Definitely try before you buy..I owned a Buzz 4 that sounded great but the body shape was really uncomfortable for me.

Definitely try it first. Looks to me that there's no way those pickups are wide enough for the outer strings.

Pedullas (Pedulli?) are ridiculously well-crafted basses. My Series II 4-string is holding up well. I'm not too familiar with their 6-string models, though.

Also be sure to verify that the truss rod is fully functional and the truss rod nut isn't stripped. Pedullas use a 4 sided truss nut with a special wrench. The nut strips easily if someone uses a hex wrench on it, and Pedulla charges $1200 for MVP truss rod replacement. I learned this the hard way when I bought a ThunderBolt 6 from eBay with a stripped nut.
