The Pedulla Club!

Just restrung my Thunderbass with a new set of Pedulla Stainless Steels. Man, I love these strings. What will I do when they are no longer available.

Here’s a little Thunderbass eye candy for the thread.

That’s a fine looking bass! I should know...

New electronics for a Pedulla Pentabuzz?

This is Pedulla related and is part of my quest to finally resolve the issue with my Pentabuzz's volume disparity.

 

[Pedullist]

When (and in which setups) did the Pedulla Bartolini electronics become proprietary? I have a MVP6 JJ from 1992, and its output is very low compared to my other basses. Thinking of replacing the pre, but I'd like to keep the pickups if I can (it's probably hard to find radiused 6 string replacements that fit).

That’s interesting. My PJ Pentabuzz has very high output. It s louder than my Carvin SB5000 which is 18v.

My new Pentabuzz, MVP5 and Thunderbass are loud. The MVP6 has an almost passive output. I don't think '92 electronics had a volume trim pot.

I had an early 90’s Buzz that had a three knob Bartolini EZQ set up. I don’t think that EQ was used for very long by Pedulla but I really liked it on a fretless.

The Bartolini NTBT in my Rapture had the wires normally used for a gain trimpot so I added one. Should be a wiring diagram on the Bartolini website.

Good luck with sale. I either played a Thunderbass or Thunderbolt 5 when GC was blowing them out. I loved it but did not have the money to buy it.

Anyone around here looking for a 90's Pedulla decal? Got one left (my luthier didn't want to do the refin after all).

Still available?

No, gone in a few hours.

Rapture owners: Looking for help finding the right bridge height adjustment screws for a 2003 Rapture I just bought. Some of the screws were rusted in place and the previously owner must have stripped them because neither a .050 (too small) or 1/6 (too large) will work. I've cleaned the barrels and screws and the screws turn by hand but not with the .050 allen, which I think is the right one.

Any idea where I might find the right allen screws. Tried Christine at Pedulla but they may not be answering these types of inquiries. I'll by the who new barrels if needed but hope just to find the right screws. I can shoot a few pics if needed.

If you know who manufactured those bridge, I could contact them.

THanks

I finally worked up the courage to put some nickel roundwounds on my Pentabuzz today. I think rounds really brought its tone to life.

 

[Mastodon2]

Sounds good, roundwounds are the best-kept secret in bass at the moment, they'll take the tone of any instrument and made it sound better.

Hi Dr. C,
Michael's choice for all his fretless basses was nickel rounds. If you're a DR fan, or want to test a set, you can go to fretnation.com - formerly bassstringsonline - and use code DRNL (valid thru the end of August) for a discount on DR Nickel Lowriders.
Best wishes!
