Pedulla has always seemed to miss its market, IMO. Outside of the Buzz fretless basses, the Thunder and Thunderbolts were a lot of money for the same tones you could get out of most any generic 90's active coffee table. Its contemporaries like Ken Smith, Tobias, and Spector all had their easily indentifiable tones while the very pricey Pedulla's didn't really sound all that different from a super-optioned Peavey or Carvin that cost half as much. This bass looks like a path that should have been followed more closely.
