Peter Malinoski Art Bass 5 – Truly Unique Bass

L.A. Vintage Gear is proud to showcase incredible bass guitars from the estate of accomplished film and television composer Edgardo Simone. Spanning a career of decades in Hollywood, Edgardo was a longtime collaborator who orchestrated music with Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek , Oingo Boingo fame

Edgardo contributed to major films including Big Fish, Spider-Man, Men in Black, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He was also a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, won a BMI Composition Award, and was named Distinguished Alumnus by the University of Oregon School of Music in 2007.

As a lifelong bassist, Edgardo collected instruments from many of the most respected builders in the business, including Lefay, KB, Louris, Warwick, and Spalt. Alongside these heavy hitters of the boutique world are many unique and one-of-a-kind instruments from more niche makers. These basses are built with high-grade domestic and exotic woods such as maple, walnut, and purpleheart, and feature premium finish work that looks so cool you just have to pick one up and play.

Up for sale is a Peter Malinoski Art Bass 5, a striking boutique 5-string with a futuristic design and excellent playability. This bass comes to us from the collection of famed orchestrator Edgardo Simone.

The bass features a Northern Ash body paired with a 34″ scale neck constructed from African Mahogany and Birdseye Maple, topped with a Padauk fretboard and bone nut. The combination results in a balanced, resonant instrument with strong sustain and excellent articulation across all five strings.

Hardware is top-notch, including a Hipshot bridge and Gotoh tuners for solid tuning stability and reliable performance.

Despite the bold design, the electronics are refreshingly simple: a single Aero pickup with a push/pull volume control that switches between single-coil and dual-coil operation. The result is a surprisingly versatile tonal range from clear, focused single-coil articulation to fuller humbucking punch.

At first glance, the design certainly stands out but once you pick it up, it’s clear this is a serious instrument with great tone and feel.
