The Pedulla Club!

Some Pedulla eye candy...

After 20 years of saving money and dreaming about it, my wife finally pushed me to let Michael build me a custom MVP and a Pentabuzz. I never expected them to be at least 5 times better than the ones I had from the 90's. They are an amazing piece of work, that will be with me until I die. I absolutely adore them. The wood grains are insane, the craftmanship is astounding. They look and sound magnificent.

Really wish these pictures showed up on my phone. The only show
 
In for a number please!

Love my Buzz more than I thought I would a bass.
There's something about the MVP that just feels right.
Maybe it's all psychological, but it's just so comfortable and easy to play.

Buzz is an '87, MVP an '89.

Previous MVP owner swapped tuning pegs, so I went ultralite.

Buzz came stock w/ EMG's and a passive tone circuit, but I installed some Bart pickups and guts.
It sounded great before, but now it's an absolute monster!

Wow, lots of Buzz and MVP’s lately. Welcome to the Club #232!

I don't particularly care about getting a number, but I'm joining up :)
Sorry for the crappy and large photo. Just received it last night and only had my cell phone handy. Better photos "soon":

I really dislike the flatwound strings that are on it (GHS, I think). I ordered up a set of Pedulla Nickels and will put those on as soon as they show up.
 
Just curious as to what amp or cabs some of you Pentabuzz owners are playing through. Amps you like? Amps you don't like?

The one occasion I played a Pentabuzz was about 12 years ago, through an EA rig. It was a head and two extension cabs, either 10 or 12" speakers. Even without EQ'ing it to suit the room, I plugged it in and was hit with the most incredible, singing kind of fretless tone I've ever heard. Sheer magic!

Lots. You can use any amp and cab you want. One of my main presets is using a Vox AC-30 and a Diezel Herbert in parallel. I can dial up pretty much anything I want in it, and it is nice to get pretty constant updates from Fractal Audio.
Very interesting I wouldn't have thought those models would have the needed low end. Very cool now I'm getting gas even worse
 
I'm sorry, I took down my website because of my album release (full of hot Pedulla action, unfortunately for you guys it's in Dutch). The site contained so much nonsense, haha. But I found a way to hide it, whilst leaving the pictures. :D
Dude... I had a feeling your bass was the one on the Pedulla homepage... pretty sure that's it. The other pictures available of the charcoal finish look nothing like yours. I almost wish I'd of ordered the charcoal instead of the arctic night...
