Few bassists have shaped the sound of modern music like Pino Palladino. Known for his fluid fretless tone, deep groove, and unmatched versatility, Pino has left his mark on recordings by DAngelo, John Mayer, The Who, Eric Clapton, and countless others. His playing is subtle yet powerful, always serving the song while bringing a signature voice that bassists and artists worldwide admire.

The Pino Palladino Signature StingRay Bass is a faithful homage to his original 1979 model. It delivers the warmth, clarity, and feel that define Pinos tone.

Crafted with a lightweight poplar body, this StingRay delivers exceptional resonance and tonal warmth. The choice of poplar plays a key role in capturing the signature sound that defines Pino Palladinos legendary bass work. It offers a balanced, responsive feel that translates beautifully both on stage and in the studio.

Finished in a meticulously recreated 79 Burst, this model brings vintage authenticity to the modern player. The colour and finish have been reverse-engineered to match exactly how a brand-new StingRay would have looked fresh off the production line in 1979, offering a true time-capsule aesthetic with modern precision.

The neck features a dark-tinted maple construction paired with a rosewood fingerboard, delivering a smooth, comfortable feel and a rich, warm tone. Its shaped with a unique asymmetrical carve that faithfully mirrors the profile of Pino Palladinos original bass, offering a truly authentic playing experience. The classic 3-bolt design supports a vintage-spec profile measuring 0.820 inches at the first fret and 0.970 inches at the twelfth, with a 7.5-inch radius, 34-inch scale length, dot inlays, and 21 nickel frets.

At the heart of this bass is a custom-wound pickup, meticulously designed to match a late 1970s specification. Built with shorter pole pieces, it delivers a smooth, focused response that captures the vintage character of that era. This pickup works in perfect harmony with a specially voiced preamp, tuned to recreate the warmth, depth, and nuance of the aged electronics in Pino Palladinos original bass. The bass is also equipped with brass saddles that enhance sustain and add brightness to the overall tone, while the GraphTech NuBone nut ensures improved tuning stability and smooth playability

Each bass is supplied with a Mono Case, offering exceptional durability and reliable protection to keep the instrument safe whether on the road or in storage.
