BEAUTY!! Rare Pedulla MVP5

Up for sale is my beloved 1994 Pedulla MVP5 with factory Bartolini soapbar pickups and an ebony fingerboard. This is a classic early 90s Pedulla, full of vibe and tone, and naturally relic’d from years of honest use—showing real character and mojo.

It’s not a museum piece—it’s a player’s bass that delivers the unmistakable Pedulla clarity, midrange presence, and tight low end. Only selling due to a recent gear shift.
