{"product_id":"pedulla-thunderbass-cocobolo","title":"Pedulla Thunderbass 5 String | Cocobolo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pedulla ThunderBass has always lived in rare company, but finding a neck-through 5-string from 1998 with a Cocobolo top is something else entirely. Built during what many players consider Pedulla's golden era, this is the kind of bass that surfaces only occasionally and tends to disappear just as quickly. The Cocobolo top is absolutely stunning, with deep reddish-brown figuring that gives the instrument an unmistakably boutique look while perfectly complementing the elegant neck-through construction that made Pedulla famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat truly separates the ThunderBass from the crowd is the playing experience. The neck-through design creates an incredibly fluid feel from the first fret all the way to the highest register, with effortless upper fret access and a responsiveness that makes the instrument feel alive in your hands. At just 9.4 lbs, it strikes a beautiful balance between substantial tone and all-night comfort. Whether you're laying down articulate fingerstyle passages, digging in with a pick, or exploring modern fusion territory, the ThunderBass delivers the fast, refined playing experience that earned Pedulla its legendary reputation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular example has been thoughtfully upgraded with premium modern components, including Bartolini soapbar pickups, a Bartolini NTMB+F 3-band preamp, Hipshot tuners, a Hipshot A-style bridge, Vintage Forge knobs, and Schaller strap locks. The result is exceptional tonal flexibility and rock-solid reliability for today's player. Better still, the original parts are included, giving collectors and purists the best of both worlds. Rare, beautifully maintained, professionally upgraded, and complete with its original Pedulla hard case, this is the sort of ThunderBass that serious Pedulla enthusiasts spend years searching for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neck Through\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cocobolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Hipshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Hipshot A-Style, 17mm Spacing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bartolini Soapbars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bartolini NTMB+F 3-Band Active EQ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volume, Pickup Blend, Mid, Stacked Treble\/Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Forge Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Locks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schaller Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Pedulla Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This bass is in excellent condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pedulla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51900691153192,"sku":"VB0876x","price":4865.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/0451\/8696\/files\/1_0d42dfdd-2420-4835-9f0e-9db09460f213.jpg?v=1780410749","url":"https:\/\/thevibratobar.com\/products\/pedulla-thunderbass-cocobolo","provider":"The Vibrato Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
