An absolutely killer USA Pedulla bass! This one dates to 2001, and features stock Bartolini pickups, a highly figured fretboard, and a killer lightweight body.
The PJ layout is somewhat uncommon, and provides amazing tonal versatility; with a master volume, blend control, and 2 band eq. The flatter fretboard radius feels nice in the hand along with the slim, somewhat inverted V profile as you go up the neck - likewise the bass in general sounds tremendous and is a pleasure to play!
It comes to us in good overall condition, with only some minor dings/scratches from use over the years; but overall looks quite nice. The fretboard has been reglued at the very top near the headstock from where it had began to separate from the neck itself ever so slightly. This has been professionally done, and poses no threat to the integrity of the bass. There are what looks to be a couple of finish checks along the neck profile as well, although there have been no breaks anywhere, and in general the bass seems to have survived the previous decades quite well.
Will ship with Reverb's Safe Shipping.
