A; The Pino is just a copy of an old P-bass Uncle Horrid found for a certain P-player for a few quid, (a few years back), don't ask me how they come up with the price tag B; I've played a few & they do seem to play very nicely, I'm sure a lot is down to the TI Flats fitted as standard, the only Fender P (AFAIK) to have these & usually the only bass in the shop to have them. If you're not used to TI's when you try a Pino it's bound to be a revelation C: I hate the rusty bridge on them. I fail to see how a top class working musician would let his equipment get in such a state If I had one I would have to change the bridge, (for a same style Vintage but in good condition). D: My American Vintage '62 P plays, (to me at least), even better than a Pino They are nice though

Howard came up trumps with a little nugget of gold for my 60s Jazz rebuild, rarer than a rare thing that was lurking somewhere in that famous workshop, preserved for prosperity, now mine. A diamond gent of the highest calibre. Cheerz, John

Both now sold !
KiOgon replied to ambient's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1369759740' post='2092430'] The white one came with my Precision bass, I bought the tortoiseshell one for the 'Pino' look, but it was too dark, so I bought another. Both are in good condition, the tortoiseshell one is in excellent condition (it was only fitted for 10 minutes). Both are 3 ply, the white one is white/black/white and the tortoiseshell one is dark red/white/tortoiseshell. Both have 11 screw holes, the holes pretty much match up with each other. I'd like £7.50 for each one, this includes postage. [/quote] I think you may have mis-counted the screwholes they look like 13 holers to me - I'll take the tort please - PM coming. Cheerz, John -

Straightened neck - notes don't sound as good?
KiOgon replied to Greggo's topic in Repairs and Technical
I'd say it's on the high side of OK, credit cards are usually approx 30 thou, for a flat low action I'd aim for 12 - 15 like a business card. If it suits your playing that's fine where it is. Cheerz, John -
That - my dear Skank - is most excellent thank you sir. PM coming your way Cheerz, John
