Very cool.

I just sold my only fretless (Pedulla Pentabuzz) because I just never play it anymore. So few songs I play require a fretless that it rarely ever came out of its hardcase. And consequently, my fretless playing skills were severely lacking. It was a phenomenal and somewhat unique sounding fretless.

I'm sure the P Bass you're looking at would sound a bit more traditional, sure looks nice. Would you go with the black one, or did you have another finish in mind?

Now you have $$$ for another THunderbird, so that's an obvious upside here. :laugh:

those Pedullas were the merde when they came out...breathtaking workmanship and tone...even Leon Wilkeson graduated to a 4 banger, says a lot.
for the P finish, definitely the black with white PG and unmarked maple fingerboard..dunno if i dig that look cause it plain looks good or because it's one of the first bass guitars i saw/acknowledged....maybe a little of both?..

I gotta admit, the thought has crossed my mind to sell the 2015 and then take the earnings from that and the Pedulla sale to buy a 1960's Tbird. My problem is I don't like to let go of things, I almost always end up with sellers remorse. :unsure:

You do not want to sell the ‘15. I think to be able to afford a 60’s Tbird, you need to part with a kidney.

You mean 5 banger (Leon), right?
