Old Horse Murphy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Well, after years of ogling and dreaming, I've finally acquired a Fender Pino Palladino Signature P Bass (hence the sale of several other basses in my stable!) For me it doesn't get much better than this and after playing Clarky's fine example a while back, I knew one day I'd get one. Thanks to our very own Molan (Barrie), who while on holiday walking round Budapest Castle was able to broker a deal with the owner I was able to pick it up yesterday and have given it a good clean and polish today (I'm guessing the previous owner was a smoker ). It comes with the case, all the candy and the ever-elusive Custom Shop Certificate and is a joy to play and dare I say it, look at As a confirmed P Bass addict, I'm very happy indeed.

Lozz196 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats Nick, it was playing Clarkys Pino Precision that set me on the route of rating these as the best Precisions I`d ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've given up labelling basses as keepers Gary! There's only one bass that I would keep forever and that's my old P Bass that has been with me for 20-odd years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
