Michael pedulla is without doubt the most important and ground breaking bass luthier of our time.He builds every bass from start to finish himself and the end result is the best sounding instruments you will ever play or feel.Nothing but respect for MP.🖒
The best thing you come to find out about Mike is that he doesn't a pretentious bone in his body. You'd never guess it from the look of the basses, but he's exactly like the guy you'd have come build you a deck or put a roof on your house.
I Really miss seeing Mike Pedulla around NAMM.. What a great guy and great builder.. !! I have played his basses since 1988.. Took them on many world tours.. I miss his older ones without the extra steel bars in the neck . Only the Truss Rod.. Great basses
I missed the opportunity to get one form him before he retired. Any reason why you like the ones without graphite rods over ones that did have them? Just curious.
"MPedulla: We will always be American made. I have no intention of diluting the line by having an offshore copy made. It is tempting, because it could be a profitable venture, but it would no longer be a Pedulla bass. It has become difficult and expensive to make a quality product in the U.S. as the pressure of the consumer is for less expensive product (and our government rewards those that look overseas to cheap labor, while turning its back to those that make products here in the U.S.), which is why so many manufacturing jobs are now in other countries. We are in a time when the majority of basses are coming from factories offshore. Regardless of the shape or the name, they are all built with the same machinery in massive quantities. But they can never deliver the sound, the feel, the soul of a handmade instrument. There are some companies that exist by giving away basses to high profile players. The message is that if you buy this bass you'll sound like one of these guys. We are proud to say that we do not give any basses away, all those in our artist program purchase their Pedulla basses. They play them because they want to. Our bass is a tool which allows the player to express himself to the fullest, a tool that meets the most challenging professional situations. We believe most people who make it in the industry want to sound like themselves, which is a prerequisite for success in any endeavor." -Mike Pedulla
It was always my dream to own one of these basses and thankfully I still have my ET5 Zebrawood thunderbass. Don't play much at all but i'll take it to my grave thanks :) Ric is amazing

I want to hear Ric's tone with Tosin Abasi. Let's do this.
top player in bass prison.
Ha!
I thought Pedulla sent out of business
namm with all that noise from that players is a perfect way to develop a mental issue for any musician
