The Pedulla Club!

"Interest"...would you please elaborate? :help:

When I talked to Mike about the woods for the Nuance. He said he purposely does not seek out the woods with the same character. A good example is the maple for the body. The Atlanta bass gallery ordered my bass and another at the same time. They both arrived the same day. While the bodies are both maple they look different. Mine has a little flame to it but not a ton. But it has some greys and browns mixed in. The other has more flame but no greys or browns. Mike said he likes to pick out wood with interesting character so that each bass will look different and usually sound different even if, on paper, they are the same.
 
Count me in again, this is my second Pedulla and sold my first one but I'm keeping this one. Plays and sound good. Had to replace bridge from a 17.5 to 18.mm

Hi, brand new TalkBass member here. Glad to see there is a lot of love for Pedulla here- I love mine!

I was looking for a new bass to upgrade a G&L that I wasn't too thrilled with around 9 years ago. I saw an ad online in the Recycler for a Pedulla! I drove right over there, and it was this MVP! The body and neck were nice, but it had some problems- only one pickup worked, preamp was making weird sounds, missing knobs. I think I bought it for $475.

I sent it to Pedulla. They replaced the knobs, soldered a lead on one pickup, and told me I needed a new preamp. For a little more money, they said I could have the new preamp with the Thunderguts switch, so, I went for it!

I love to play this bass. I don't even think about other basses. Well, that was before I joined TalkBass!

That's a pretty cool bass if you don't need all the extras of an MVP, this bass will definitely do the trick!
So sad that i can't get that bass... :bawl:

Welcome, nice looking mvp you got there!
 
Well, here is my Pedulla MVP-5 converted to fretless. Coating on the neck was done by HG Thor, 17.5 spacing on this one. Non-stock Bartolini preamp - Vol, Vol, Bass, Treble, Mid-switch, Active/Bypass, LED reminder light. It has dings and chips - it has been used over the years but still sounds and plays great.

As of today, I'm now the proud owner of #1663, a 1987 MVP-5.

Sorry for the lousy cellphone pics, all I've got.

BTW, hard to tell from the pics, but this bass is nearly flawless considering it's edge. Nothing at all you can see from more than a foot away, just a few very minor spots on top of the headstock, and a few small ones on the sides (but NOT top) of the body. The Brass parts are slightly weathered, but no corrosiion or splotches or anything. What's really amazing is that this (now) two-owner bass was the main bass of one the areas busiest live players for the last 23 years. He's only getting rid of due to advancing age.

Not sure exactly what market value on this is (hard to peg for these lower volume makes), but I paid $1200 and felt like I got a fair price given what it is and the condition.
