spaceboy Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Why is there so many Pino CS changing owners? Everybody claims it’s a killer and still they sell it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyuuga Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I was wondering the same a while ago...it's probably the most sold bass I've seen here on BC and it's one of the most expensive out there. To me there's no way a Precision bass is ever worth that much. I mean, the Precision is the epitome of SIMPLE design. One pickup, two simple knobs (or even one in some cases) and it's plug & play. No active electronics, no fancy stuff, nothing. Just THE BASS. I don't ever see how such a simple design could be worth 4000€. And I have no doubt in my mind that it is a fine bass with top quality - but you're surely paying 2 or 3k more than what it's really worth. And I guess most owners just come to that conclusion and end up selling it. Edited January 28, 2019 by kyuuga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sercet Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I bought mine for £1,800 11 years ago. Worth every penny, Not totally sure about 4,000 Euro though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsmokebass Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Get me a Bass Collection Bruce Thomas model for a fraction of the price and I'd be happy 😂👌🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I gassed for a Pino for ages. Then back last year I got this Squier Classic Vibe and it all went away! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been copied and imitated countless times, has a unique, instantly identifiable sound and is ergonomically perfect IMO. I'd go as far as saying that sound-wise, in a quality recorded mix, there wouldn't be much difference between a Pino and a Squire VM or CV with a quality aftermarket pickup. I'll never understand the 4k price tag for one of them basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 They do feel and play really nice, but do think the price is more than their worth. But then I also think that about the US Standards, which are my fave btw, I’d say they should be marked at a grand, not £1500/£1600, I don’t think there’s a thousand pounds worth of difference between them and the Mex basses.

ezbass Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You could have a custom build Maruszczyk Jake in Pino spec for £1060. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sercet Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 But if you buy the Pino, you'll be able to play as good as Pino. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
