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

Love that bass! I think it’s floated around to a number of TB members, hasn’t it? Welcome to the club, dataxguy!

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!

Invalid Link Removed

:hyper:

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!

:D
 
ImageUploadedByTalkBass1383596527.488111.jpg. I like that color too ! Lol.

There was a thread about the pot settings somewhere. You can just call Christine at Pedulla and she will probably get you the info. They are great there.

I like the bridge we have best. It allows you to skooch the spacing around a little bit. I like to keep my G String away from the edge a little bit as I have a tendency to pull the strings off a little bit.

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.

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

Hello peddulla lovers! I'd love to know if my old thunder bass is still around and killing it!i had to let it go about 10 years ago and have regretted it every day. Don't have any pix handy but if anyone comes across an ET5 Thunderbass with a aaa curly maple top,neck through, serial # 4481, I'd love to see it and find out where it's been and done all these years.. I bought it new in '95 in Waterbury ct. And sold it there as well .

Was and hopefully is still a bass players dream.

Pedulla's are really special instruments and hold a place in my heart, more so than any other basses I've ever played.

Thanks much!
WG.
 
I think mine is "freak of nature" light. Most I've seen seem to be in the 9 - 10 lbs range. I'll put it on a scale later today.

Even though it's light, it has nice tone. Warmer than I remember but my strings could have a lot to do with that. I do think it's going to need it's neck recoated though. Some of the "fret" markers are raising up. Per Pedulla's FAQ, the fix is a recoat.

Maybe, unless you can work some of your fretless, setup magic, Fred.
