it's his fretted P (flats)- Fender makes a version of it for an insane amount of $$ . . . love the tone too!

Yeah that's a fretted P (an early '60s or his signature replica of that bass). When Pino goes for fretless that's normally on his Stingray which he currently uses with PSP.

I have that DVD. It's definately a fretted P.

I've read though that the frets on this bass are rather small/worn down considerably. Might be part of what you are hearing/seeing.
