Hey guys/gals...I picked up an amaaaaazing MVP 4 from @rickr (amazing TB'er BTW)... I was kind of surprised about a couple things on the bass - how small the body seemed too be...and how thick and rich the Bartolini sound was - (comparing to some pretty awesome gear).
So, this lead me to thinking....my MTD that I had (and foolishly let go for peanuts) also had the Bartolini's in it and, again, I was enamored by its rich sexy-a$$ tone.
Fast-forward a couple weeks ago, and I found a Thunderbass locally and I truly didn't expect it to be as great as my MVP....but.... it is great in its OWN way! - I would say my MVP is gunna be hard to knock down off the Podium..but man, this Thunderbass is a beast.
I was chatting with my buddy Russ and he had mentioned that Bartolini made specialized pickups for Pedulla and MTD - and they are different then the ones you can purchase direct.
Does anyone know the comparable Barts for a PJ (MVP) and the HB style (Thunderbass)..are there any?
Do normal Barts sound totally different? I'm sure I can sit and youtube for 4 hours, but having proper 'seat time' with real ears/feel, would be awesome info.
Thinking of thinning my herd of awesome-ness down a wee bit (not the ones in the picture), and fine tuning the range to please my ears and not just hording them for wall art.
(I would love a trans black MVP 4 or something like that.... killer trade bait coming soon)

I am on the Pedulla train because of you. Appreciate it. One day, maybe a ZON as well .
