zeronyne Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Michael Pedulla is retiring and closing his company. Some of the finest glossy fret less boards this hack has ever touched, and they were boutique before it was really a thing except for alembic and the like. Quote "For instance" is not proof.

Danzilla Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Dang. They were always on my wish list (unlike a Wishbass). Mark Egan was my first introduction to them; when I saw him in October, oddly enough he was playing a fretted Pedula. Well, Thanks for making such beautiful instruments, Michael. You deserve a happy retirement. (And thanks for not just selling the company to someone who will take the name and then have all of them made as cheap overseas models.)

Mark Schmieder Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Even though I have likely permanently sworn off of active basses, the brands that gave me pause to reconsider that decision, were Fedora, F-Bass, and Pedulla. They will be missed.

jcadmus Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Whoa. Funny, I kind of had a premonition about this. Love my Pedulla Rapture J2-5. Quote "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadmus Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (And thanks for not just selling the company to someone who will take the name and then have all of them made as cheap overseas models.) Agreed, although it would have been great if he could have sold the business to someone who wanted to continue his work. But Michael's been dialing back the business for quite awhile, so I'm not surprised that he decided just to call it quits.
