philw Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 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. P Quote
yorks5stringer Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Yes, it's mentioned in "The Who at Glastonbury" thread in General Discussion, there's even a close up pic of it. Quote
Legion Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 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" [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/halftime-show-pinos-bass.626707/page-11"]http://www.talkbass.com/threads/halftime-show-pinos-bass.626707/page-11[/url] Quote

Dazed Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Hahaha Fender must've really loved making that order 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 Edited June 29, 2015 by Dazed Quote
EssentialTension Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1435608583' post='2810615'] 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. [/quote] 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: Quote

[/quote] At Glastonbury that neck pick up had a white cover and resembled a Telecaster bass neck humbucker without the chrome cover. Quote
Byo Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I think it looks pretty cool, quirky pup configuration for a P-Bass that I am sure sounds killer in Pino's hands Quote
lojo Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I'm currently building a Pino, now he's moved the goals posts Quote

[/quote] 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] [quote] 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. Watch this space...[/quote] Quote

[/quote] 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. Quote
