Overview

"Modern Vintage" design with classic sound

The Rapture 4-String Bass is Pedulla's "modern vintage" design, with a satin finish bolt-on neck and a pearloid pickguard. The Rapture's thinner, racier design combines a single flatsawn hard maple neck and a solid soft eastern maple body. This combination sets the stage for a classic sound enhanced by a smooth midrange and a bright high-end that cuts through even the most crowded mix.

Specially tailored active electronics bring out the Rapture's unique tonal range. The single pickup (RB-SB) includes master volume and separate bass and treble control knobs to allow complete flexibility in shaping the sound. A mid-cut switch accentuates the Rapture bass' gut shaking sub-bottom while emphasizing high-end clarity and growl and delivering vintage punch with an extra wide attack.

The Rapture has a machined brass "barrel" bridge which imparts the more traditional sound Pedulla wanted from a bolt on.
