Streit Stringed Instrument Repair http://www.streitfix.com Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:07:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Pedulla Buzz Bass http://www.streitfix.com/http:/www.streitfix.com/blog/pedulla-buzz-bass/ http://www.streitfix.com/http:/www.streitfix.com/blog/pedulla-buzz-bass/#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:58:06 +0000 stretifixco http://www.streitfix.com/?p=54 One of my personal favorites,the Pedulla Buzz Basses are hand made in Massachusetts by Michael Pedulla and not mass produced.  His philosophy is that the instrument is  a tool to express an artists soul, character, and art.  It’s certainly one of the most beautiful basses I’ve ever played.

With a three piece maple neck through body construction on a flame maple body it delivers a great tone and sustain.  The polyester finished ebony fingerboard has a smooth as glass feel to it and gives the bass its distinctive voice as well as a hardness that resists wear.   Its unique body style is ergonomically sculpted for access to the highest notes on the treble side and an extended bass side horn for perfect balance when strapped on.

Hopefully I’ll have one of these for my very own someday (if my wife is looking for a unique gift for me and comes across this, I’d like it in the blue green sunburst as shown but with chrome hardware and four strings only please).  In the meantime I’ll keep saving my pennies.

I’ve agreed to get all 21st century and 1) update my 2005 website and 2) start social networking. I’m still getting the hang of how all of this might work. Fortunately for now all the information you need to get your guitar fixed is already on my “web in progress.” Just click Contact. And don’t let all of this high-tech stuff fool you; I still prefer things to be high touch. So drop by my shop or give me a call. Looking forward to it all.

Steve
