Lots of nice looking basses in this thread. MIne is kinda plain in comparison, but here goes. Their all wood colored on the inside, I guess. I just got mine today and its beyond my expectations so far.

John-

I have that exact same black 6 string thunderbolt!

My trusty old MVP.

It looks wrecked, but still sounds and plays better than anything.

Wow! That is a very classy looking bass. Welcome to the Pedulla Club! Enjoy!

How does sound a Rapture 5 with maple neck and JB pickups ?
Could you describe this sound ? =)
Thanx for your words.

Nice looking Raptures, guys. I've owned three. Two four strings with a single Bart and now, a fiver with the single Bart. The original, which I got the year they were introduced, was Planet Green. The current five string is Candy Purple, although it's really magenta like Toasted's. Lots of red in their purple. Mine has the rosewood board. Love those basses. I would have posted a photo but my camera is out on loan to a friend.

Here is my "new" Pedulla. 1978 Neck thru. Any Pedulla fans know much about this ancient one?

 

[pilotjones]

Wow, That's an oldie! What's the model and number on that one? My old one was a 1980-81, in the 300's, but already looked closer to the current MVP/Buzz than that one. But there were some common traits with yours, too.

This is on the back of the headstock: EMS-13 0204. I took it to my local shop yesterday and one of the people there seemed to think it has a slight neck twist in it. Bummed me out a little but I can't really see it myself. Any suggestions if it is?

As soon as I get this one out of HOCK It'll be MINE.

Hi. I just got an old Pedulla MVP5. It's awesome, my 1st. Pedulla. I am gonna have it refinished becuase the finish on it it worn and old and banged up. Right now it has the old TBIT controls, I see that pedulla now have the NTMB controls with a Mid switch. I happen the have an NTMB preamp here at home, but I only have schematic for a 5 knob, w/switch setup. Can anyone check their MVP 5 and let me know how it's wired up on their Pedulla with the switch? Please email me directly at [email protected] and make the subject "Pedulla wiring"

I honestly never thought I'd get to play this game.

Mine was either EMS0317 or EMS0371.

If there is a twist, and it's bad enough to prevent you getting a low enough action, or causes buzzing, and is therefore in need of fixing, I'd do a search on "warp," "bow" or "twist" in the Luthier's forum here. Then ask the question there if the search doesn't turn up enough info.

Here is my Pentabuzz.
