Kind of looks like a MusicMan with a Bartolini pickup.

...And a non-MM bridge, and a non-MM headstock, both of which rule out their new retro-styled SR5. Really it looks like the body, control plate, and pickguard are from an older SR, the neck could be custom (hard to tell, there's a tiny logo), and then there's the aftermarket pup and bridge. Looks quite cool though! I'd hit it. With nowhere near Pino's talent and skill.

You typed the words right outta my brain!

I think I saw that for sale of Rondo's site - isn't that the new Ursa headstock? (j/k)

nice bass, but check out the background 'tache!

It's a Frankensometing. MM body, after market parts, after market neck.

I saw him a couple of months ago with Simon Phillips and Philippe Saisse, great show!!
Pino had three basses: a fender mustang (fretted), his glorius stingray fretless 4 strings and the bass of the photo, but he used that only on a song or two if I'm correct...anyway the playing was breathtaking!!

it was a yamaha converted to what it's now by jeff finch.

[bongomania]

Which parts of it were Yamaha?

[loend68]

Doesn't that look like the old G&L headstock?

that would be the neck(trough) with new body facings, if i'm not mistaken.

To me it looks like a 19mm spacing fretless Ray knock-off........where do I order?

While we are talking about Pino, I hope there was a better quality version of this live performance.

Since everyone is guessing, why not ask Pino;

I see he doesn't check his page often so you might have to wait for an answer.
