Founded in Boston by luthier Mike Pedulla in 1975 and operated up until his retirement in 2019, the Thunderbass was first introduced in 1992, offering what the company calls a “painstakingly perfect match of specially devised circuitry and select hardwoods.” Weighing 9lbs 13oz, tonewoods include a flame maple body flanking a three-piece quartersawn maple neck capped by an ebony fingerboard.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe custom-wound Bartolini soapbar humbuckers were made specifically for Pedulla basses; to this day, Bartolini Pedulla pickups are only made as replacements for existing Pedulla instruments. Controls include a pickup-blend knob that governs the active preamp, and two proprietary tone modules designed in conjunction with Bartolini. The \"Thunderguts\" switchable circuit opens up heavier, darker textures while maintaining the instrument’s signature punch. This Thunderbass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Neck: Quartersawn maple (3pc, neck-through)\u003cbr\u003e \n-Shape: Slender C, measuring .800” at 1st fret, .900” at 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e \n-Fretboard: Ebony, 24-fret, mother of pearl mini-dot inlays\u003cbr\u003e \n-Frets: Medium, no wear\u003cbr\u003e \n-Scale Length: 34”\u003cbr\u003e \n-Nut width: 2 1\/8”, bone\u003cbr\u003e \n-Tuners: Gotoh, P-stamped\u003cbr\u003e \n-Serialization: Stamped into back of headstock\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Body: Flame maple (AA\/AAA)\u003cbr\u003e \n-Pickups: Bartolini SB x2\u003cbr\u003e \n-Harness: Thundersound™ module, Thunderguts™ module, Alpha pots\u003cbr\u003e \n-Controls: Volume, Pickup Pan, Passive Tone, Thunderguts switch\u003cbr\u003e \n-Hardware: ABM brass bridge with roller saddles, anodized aluminum pointer knobs, mini toggle\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe Transparent Red finish highlights the figured maple body, with cosmetic wear limited to light buckle worming central to the upper bout on the back, a few faint pick marks on top adjacent to the pickups, and a handful of minor dings scattered around the body consistent with careful use.
