Here's my take on a Pino Precision Bass.

[Instagator]

Hey everyone.

After gassing for a Pino for a while I decided to build one for myself,with some slight mods.

The body is a Warmoth swamp ash

Pickups are handwounds by Curtis Novak(Killer tone...Curtis nails the vintage sound)

Neck is an early MIJ neck that the former owner scratched out the "Made in Japan"I had no reservations putting a new waterslide.

The paint and primer is from ReRanch..topped with McFaddens clear

Pots are CTS with a 047 paper in oil cap.

Strings are LaBella flats.

This thing is a killer player..just thought I'd share it with you all.

One last picture..check out the clock that I made to match the Bass...It features some of my other matching headstocks..I must be sick..but I love a matching headstock.

Cheers to all.

Wow, that's gorgeous!

 

[Dark Horse]

Killer !

I'm not usually a huge fan of Fenders as I've said before, but this is pretty... pretty

 

[Band Dad]

Very nice. Clean, simple, tastefully done. The pickup and bridge covers look "right" on that.

 

[Honk'n_down-low]

Nice!! What did it cost ya - last Pino I saw used at GC they were asking $3000 for it!

 

[lonote]

Well done. It is tasteful and classy with just enough flash.

 

[wizay]

Very nice job! Keep the covers on!

 

[BassBob185]

Looks great!
What paint did you use and how did you prep and paint the body?

 

[Fender32]

Wow ! That looks like a first rate spray job you've done there. Do you work in a paint shop or something?

The finished product looks amazing and I bet that it sounds the bomb too, with those components.

It would make a good companion for my Shoreline Gold matching headstock P (or vice versa), don't you think ...?

P.S. Not looking to steal your thunder there, Instagator, just thought that you might appreciate the family resemblance .

 

[Darkstrike]

As usual, amazing work!

 

[bassist4dalord]

Ugh... GAS! What strings are those?

 

[yellofury]

I should have known it was you
first that yellow and black beauty
and the green one
and now this!!!
You make Squiers and Warmoths into such things of beauty man!!

 

[Fender32]

Ugh... GAS! What strings are those?

Can't decide whether or not you're being serious here, but anyway, they're just regular Fender nickel-plated rounds (7250Ms).

Do they look like something special on your monitor then ?

 

[Valerus]

Nice job on that!!

 

[bassbully]

Nice!! What did it cost ya - last Pino I saw used at GC they were asking $3000 for it!

Not to rain on the parade but what the deal with a Pino? Why so much? Is it not a basic P bass with Ti's? Is it just cuz its a sig bass? What makes it worth the price and can someone tell me how its better? OP nice job BTW.

 

[Instagator]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Honk'n down low.The cost was not too bad on this one.
180 for the body
45 for the neck with tuners
120 in pickups
16 for the pickguard
40 for ReRanch paint and clearcoat
30 for strings.
30 for covers
18 dunlop strap locks
35 in Makers Mark....

So..under $500 range after all is said and done...the neck was a steal..the guy that had it thought that it was Korean..good for me.I'm always on the lookout for parts.When I get enough stuff I put one together.Sure beats $3000

Fender32...That Shoreline is a killer.That's one of the colors on my "To do list"...I didn't put a tug bar(thumb rest) on this one,but I have one in the parts box.Maybe.

I still have not drilled for the covers..after the comments from you guys I guess that's next.

Thanks again,Cheers
