I'm floored and I'm In. # please!

. I like that color too ! Lol.Well, I guess I'm in at #185!
I just bought this bass used from a very cool guy and it was in like-new conditionl!
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/pedulla-pentabuzz-ntmb-trim-pots-1014730/
Here are the specs...
LEFT-handed MVP 5-string
19mm string spacing
AA Flame Maple
PJ pickups
gold color hardware
Arctic Night finish
Hardshell case
The bass is amazing... sounds absolutely ridiculous and sets up like a dream. I feel really, REALLY lucky that I stumbled across this deal. These do NOT come up often in lefty and they are NEVER in this great of shape.
Anyway, I have a couple of quick questions for the experts.
1.) Both of the internal mid-boost trim pots were turned down all the way, which basically made the boost switch do nothing. I messed around with them a little bit and came up with a setting I think I like, but I was wondering if there is typical factory setting for these? Like one is at noon and the other is at 3 or something?
2.) I've seen Pedulla MVP's and Buzz basses come with the bridge that's like mine, or the Hipshot A-style bridge. Is there something specific that determines which bridge you get on your bass or is that part of the ordering process? Is the brindge on my bass and the A-style bridge interchangeable?
Thanks so much!!
Can't wait to get home to play it some more!

KILLER!!Here's the thread on the trim pots: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/pedulla-pentabuzz-ntmb-trim-pots-1014730/
Hello,
Just thought I'd post this info from Christine at Pedulla.com... it's about the trim pot settings of Pedualla Pentabuzz basses with the Bartolini NTMB electronics...
To answer your questions regarding the trim pots in our NTMB system in the PentaBuzz model:
The trim pots on the mini toggle switch adjust the amount of boost & cut and the trim pot on the back of preamp module adjusts overall gain.
To set the trim pots to our default settings, use a small screwdriver to turn each of them fully counter-clockwise, then turn them clockwise until they are each at the position listed below:
- Overall gain (Trim pot that is by itself on the back of a module): 2:00 position
- Mid boost (Trim pot on the mini toggle, furthest from bridge): 12:00 position
- Mid cut (Trim pot on the mini toggle, closest to bridge): 9:00 position
KILLER!!
I looked EVERYWHERE for that!
I copied and pasted it just for fun... maybe it'll come up easier in searches if other people need it.
That's gorgeous!Well, I guess I'm in at #185!
