Anybody else notice Pino playing with The Who using what looked like a P bass with two big chrome Tele bass style humbuckers with then a third plastic cased humbucker right up against the neck? Fascinating Jim...

Not exactly like his Fender signature model.

Back in 2010 this came up on Talkbass and got this answer after 11 pages of chat

"Hi there,

I asked a friend at Fender's. He confirmed the Fender CS built a P with T-bird pick ups. It's a one off and no more will be built"

Hahaha Fender must've really loved making that order :lol:

Yes Hello Pino here, could I order one of your finest basses please, but this time can you fit some proper pickups
Yes that's right, Gibson pickups. Pffft

The bass started out with the T-bird pickups, and the EB pickup looks like a new addition. I guess he can get different Entwistle eras with different pickup combinations.


I don't see a decal on the headstock.

Apparently the EB pickup was added by the Bass Gallery; that's where the pic is from.

The unclear decal has led some to suggest it might be a Bluesman. Here's a Bluesman Jazz bass:

Fender Custom Shop Precision with two Gibson Thunderbird pickups and later added Gibson EB neck humbucker.

At Glastonbury that neck pick up had a white cover and resembled a Telecaster bass neck humbucker without the chrome cover.

I didn't notice that and there may be a clue below ...

I got the pic from Bass Gallery Facebook page 31/03/15 [url="https://www.facebook.com/thebassgalleryuk?ref=stream&hc_location=stream"]https://www.facebook.com/thebassgalleryuk?ref=stream&hc_location=stream[/url]

A familiar face stopped by today to pick up a couple of his basses that have been in the workshop getting some mods...!
Pictured here is our friend Pino Palladino with his signature Fender Custom Shop loaded with a couple of Gibson Thunderbird pickups that he's being using on a recent tour with D'Angelo & The Who. Martin, over the weekend, fitted it with an additional 70's Gibson EB neck pickup... What a beast of a bass!! (seriously, I want one myself)
Also he brought in a Squier VM Telecaster Bass Special that has now been fitted with a Korg Kaoss Pad Mini 2S.

I thought that on the close up but other shots looked more 'normal' - I think it was possible a reflection on the chrome making it look white.

Yes, it's mentioned in "The Who at Glastonbury" thread in General Discussion, there's even a close up pic of it.

Serves me right for not looking for a thread there then!

I do. It's a Fender decal.
