This is an extremely early example of \u003cspan\u003eMichael Pedulla's work, before his iconic MVP model. You can see the unrefined nature of that iconic in this EMS bass - still a fully hand carved instrument, but a bit more angular than later versions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBody construction shows well known Pedulla features. Solid maple body wings with maple neck-through construction and the matching wood back plate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are the original DiMarzio's, which most Pedullas of this period used, before Bartolini really came onto the scene. This bass sounds incredible - clear, punchy, and warm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts VERY rare to find this early of a serial number from one of the most iconic luthiers in the bass world. Grab this one before its gone! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 9.4 lbs \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Case \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good condition with plenty of wear\/scratches\/dings throughout.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTech Notes: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBass, Hardware, and Electronics have been cleaned\/tested and are functioning appropriately.
