NBD! Pedulla Rapture

[borge]

Very nice
I was severely unimpressed with the build quality on a Pedulla six string I worked on for a friend, twas shocking

unheard of.
please elaborate. No joke I'm seriously interested.

Twas a neck through thunderbass, played alright, sounded amazing. the (ebony) fretboard was 2 pieces glued together, you could feel the neckthrough/body lamination joins through the finish, the nut had been sanded to what seemed like p80 ie rough as guts and also cut poorly, the output jack which I replaced had had the thread filed off to fit through the hole...

maybe the nut was a dodgy aftermarket mod. and the lamination issue was caused by a drastic temp./humidity change, but if I paid 5 or 6k for a second hand bass I'd expect the maker to have sprung for a bit of timber wide enough for a single piece fretboard....

was that the dark one sold on TM maybe 18-24 months back?

otherwise crikey. how common is a 2 piece fretboard? I thought MP himself did the final send out, maybe I got him mixed up with Ken Smith.

the big news however is Tony's new bass is shit f***en hot
multi-purpose gigging monster i humbly venture
I'd go into more detail but I'm fighting the tears back...

good challenge for NZG though, I'll be well interested in any TM deal better than this in 2011
bang for buck this is a great buy.

I imagine daza's american strat for the price of a second hand epi sg will take the cake...
