Old Horse Murphy Posted February 17, 2013 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.

steve-soar Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Love the translucency of the nut. Love the colour, love the grain on the headstock. Love it! Quote

Old Horse Murphy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I you're in the area Paul please feel free to drop in. Maybe you can explain to me what on earth Cian Healy was trying to do in that ruck against England. Buggered if I know Quote
discreet Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Yess! I bet you're like a cock with two dogs. Quote
Chris Horton Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 sweet looking bass. I have heard great comments about these basses but not had a chance to play one yet .......... love the colour Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 17, 2013 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
Highfox Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats Murphy. Any chance you can put a clip of her up? Love to hear how it sounds. Quote

Hobbayne Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I actually like that! Are they pricey?? Quote
gary mac Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Nice one Nick, take it this one is a keeper then? Quote

[/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
gary mac Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Know what you mean. Well just enjoy it for as long as it is in your company then. Quote
Old Horse Murphy Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you for all your kind comments. It's a a fabulous bass Quote
TheBear Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Jealous I am... It's a bloody amazing bass! Got the chance to try one while in Paris 18months ago (thanks to Bass Maniac), I dream about it since. One day it will be mine.. Quote
