I need your opinion/help PLEASE!! Pedulla content

#7
I say, no, IMO,I don't think it's worth that.
Theres a rather large chip in it that I really don't thing you'll buff out and it looks as though someone has changed the jack in it (though i'm not a pedulla expert). FWIW, for what elderly wants for it, unless you have your heart set on a pedulla, there will be many o' different basses that can be had at that price for brand new.
but that's just my .002.

You should try some other places, instead of just Elderly.

Sometimes you can find stuff here, but unfortunately not in you respective price range (currently):

Outstanding bass at a good price, assuming there are no quality / playability issues. IMO it's a huge upgrade over your current bass. I'd offer them 1250 shipped. II believe it could be easily resold for that on TB.

Assuming it is in good shape from a functional point of view that is a good deal. Those are really good basses. The Buzz basses (pentabuzz) are the fretless models, the MVP is fretted. Which is what it looks like this is. Elderly is great, I've gotten a bunch of stuff from them. I take it you are not near Lansing? If you are I'd drive up and play it first, that's a lot to spend on something sight unseen.

Well, if everything is working properly, this is a GREAT deal. It may have neck issues, or some spotty electronics. This is a very low price for a Pedulla bass. I would pursue it to the max and if things are in good order you might want to consider a contract of odd jobs around the house and mowing the lawn without being told to help convince your parents. :p Good luck! :bassist:

I'm a Pedulla-holic (2 Raptures, used to have a ThunderBolt 6). I watch them on the used market and that's a pretty good price as long as everything works well (ask about frets, electronics, hardware, etc.)

The big thing to look out for is the truss rod nut: Pedulla uses a proprietary truss rod nut and tool (a 4-sided autoharp tuning wrench). It's not uncommon for idiot owners/repairmen to use a hex (6-sided) truss tool and strip the nut, leaving the truss rod unadjustable. Pedulla charges $550 to replace the truss rod. I learned this the hard way after buying my 'Bolt 6 off of eBay.

Most Pedullas of this age have finish chips, especially solid colors. I suspect that's because these are stellar instruments that beg to be played!
