The Pino Palladino Signature StingRay Bass captures the iconic tone and feel of one of the most influential bass players of all time. Inspired by Pino’s original 1979 fretless StingRay, this signature model is available in both fretted and fretless versions, each designed to deliver his unmistakable tone and playability. It features a poplar body finished in ’79 Burst, a dark-tinted maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and a unique asymmetrical neck carve that mirrors the shape of Pino’s original bass. The custom pickup, built to a late 70s recipe with shorter pole pieces, pairs perfectly with the preamp, voiced to replicate the warmth and character of Pino’s aged circuit. Brass saddles, a GraphTech NuBone nut, and artist series neck plates. Each bass comes in a Mono Case for durability and protection. The fretted model is strung with Pino Signature Smoothie Flats for a rich, thumpy tone, while the fretless version features custom gauge Ernie Ball Slinky Nickel Wound strings for smooth, expressive slides.

Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.
