The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Hi, I'm new here...people call me Pedullist because of my Pedulla love:
Pedulla from 1976 (Orsini, made expressly for E.H. Wurlitzer)
Pedulla MVP5 in peacock blue finish from 1992 (soon to be strung up in E-A-D-G-C tuning)
Pedulla MVP5 in charcoal finish from 2016
Pedulla Pentabuzz in vintage cherry burst finish from 2016
Not all basses are Pedulla's though:
Hagstrom C-1 from 1967
Fender Precision and Fender Jazz from 1985 (Japan, Fujigen), both modified with Bill Lawrence pickups and custom pickguards my dad made:
Fender IV, custom pickups by Paul Hendrix
Somehow a Pedulla guitar, Pedulla Thunderbolt 6 string and a Pedulla Pentabuzz managed to leave the house...

Love the pick guards! great looking bases.
I just got in this Spl. Edition Jazz, in White Opal.

My Kiesel Icon 4, Ibanez SRF705 fretless, G&L L2500 (currently for sale in the classifieds), and my G&L SB-2, which will hopefully be delivered next week. I also have an MTD Kingston Saratoga that I upgraded with Bartolini p/u's and active pre, but no pics except what's in my avatar. Might not need to buy anything new anytime soon. Maybe. LOL!
I reacquired my Am. Std. Jazz, and put on a White PG.

Another of both of mine together with Mr. Rumble 100...some vintage SX porn.
The P/J has La Bella flats and the Fretless Jazz has a set of old flats on it I have no idea what they are. Both played (with stock pickups) through the Fender Rumble 100 sound literally like vintage Fenders. Not bad for being $400 into a couple axes total.

My Squier Jag SS is about a year old and my first bass. For being only around 200 or 300 bucks, (It came in a starter pack with a 15 watt amp and some other goodies), it's a fantastic option for those that want a good starter bass, and I love it. I personally think it's worth more than what I paid for it. She's an absolute beauty as well, and if I could marry and live with her, I probably would!
I made this bass about 15 years ago, when I was playing bass in a Grateful Dead cover band (never went anywhere). Then about 9 or 10 years ago, I hooked up with another band and played guitar, and the bass player had some old god-awful thing, so I sold him my rig, including this bass. I bought it back from him last week. 
It's a MIM body that is DARK blue/purple (hard to get the real color in a photo); Duncan Basslines Quarter Pounders for pickups and a USA made '62 reissue neck; reverse winding tuners.

This is still in the works- but here it is with my new/old amp
Since the Highway One became the American Special - I took my older Highway rosewood neck off and replaced with an American Special maple neck. I have the covers for the bridge and pick up just not on.
With Quarter pounds and those nice gold metal pick guards.
Next will replace the tuners with some better ones.

I've been wanting to build a 4-string like this! Awesome look

So that's (lowest left bass) a vintage (pre-EB) MM Stingray yes? What colour was it originally (white?, yellow?) and what do the 5 (!) knobs do? V/T/B/series parallel?/?
