Just got it today, and man, does it ever growl! The neck is very thin, similar to a Rick 4001. Difference is that it is a two octave neck, and the body is much smaller. In fact, I'm truly impressed by the compactness of the design. Didn't notice it much when I test played a few examples, but you really get an appreciation for it after you've played it a while. I can see where it is great for small spaces. And it's relatively light, too. Is it an Alembic? No way. It is still, however, a fine handcrafted instrument. Like I've said elsewhere, it is a bit "looser" than an Alembic, and sometimes that's what I prefer depending on the playing situation. On the other hand, I have a Spyder and a Europa. If I had to make a choice, the Europa would win, followed by the Spyder (extremely closely at that) and then the Pedulla. Not bad to be in the top three, I think, considering I own ten basses of various makes and models. Anyway, thought I'd share some pics. Enjoy.

We all (most anyway) have non-Alembics that we love for this reason or that. Why wouldn't we? Congratulations on your new family member! Don't stay up too late now.

I've always liked Pedullas of that design. Sam pookeymp Intermediate Member Username: pookeymp Post Number: 157 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 - 7:44 am:    Sweet Bass. I've played Pedullas quite a few times and have always liked them as well. Have fun with her.
