Oh yes but I meant that's probably the amp Pino plays through in this video

I don't know, but Blake Mills has announced they're going to release *something* every Wednesday until March 12th, so quite a chance you'll see the acoustic.

I think the Deluxe is Pino's amp here (as @Steve Browning points out), the Titano (Magnatone subbrand) might also add, but I think that belongs to Blake Mills. The tweed Fender and the small Kalamazoo amps are probably guitar or sax amps.

So Pino Palladino's releasing a solo album in March, and he has released the first single last week, it's called "Just Wrong", here's the studio version: But today, a live version of that composition surfaced on the YouTubes. Pino on his fretless Stingray with Blake Mills and Sem Gendel. And I can't express how much I love Pino's playing in this video. Look at those HUGE hands. Listen to how he handles harmonics. Check out the brilliant arrangement, both in composition and sounds between the musicians. What an amazing piece of art.

We (my fusion band Tyranni Flock) recorded a quarantine version of a new tune, "Almanac". Used my 1966 Jazz for this. I mixed it, too

I aaaaalways start with neck relief. Of course

It's so weird: I've set up dozens of basses over the years, I do all my own setup work on my basses but somehow I couldn't figure this out.

Well, it's a bit against my own initial bass setup logic but I've tightened the truss and raised the saddles a bit and that seems to have worked. Thinking about it, it's quite reasonable: the angle of the strings compared to the bass has changed so that was the solution. Thanks

Alright, I'll try that first then.

Yeah normally I'm pretty proficient at setting up basses but somehow I've failed with this one so far. Let's see what happens when I adjust the neck. I really don't know that a graphite neck does when you adjust the truss rod...

Thing is the buzz is only on the high positions, so neck relief isn't the issue here.

Question for you all: my Sterling has a fretless graphite Status neck on it, and it has a bit of buzz on the highest positions, especially on the G-string. I know that issue from wood Fender basses with the famous "ski slope", but what could be the issue here? Would the neck possibly need a shim?

I did a live stream with Dutch pianist/singer/songwriter Aafke Romeijn a few weeks ago, used my Mustang, fretless 'Ray and Moog Sub Phatty. Fun stuff. Lyrics in Dutch, but that shouldn't spoil the fun. Speaking of fun: I found out the Eurovision competitor for Iceland had a great disco-ish song. Got my trusty 1966 Jazz out for this.

Ah just to clear everything up, from left to right: 1971 Precision, Sterling/Status fretless Stingray, Dingwall Combustion 5, 1966 Jazz.

Officially, all four of these basses are white.

I'd not get it because where's Kurts low end gone? 🙃

Took a little gamble, found this here in NL for a great price so let's see what's what. I ordered it after consulting my pedal wizard

I have thought about a flanger but I really like the specific sound of a chorus

So I bought a fretless Stingray recently and yesterday I made the "mistake" of trying a Boss CH-1 with it. Man, what a sound. So now I want a chorus, but there are sooooo many choices within a reasonable budget. TC Corona, Boss CE-2B, EHX Bass Clone, EBS Bass Chorus, Ampeg Liquid and so on. I have noooo idea what to look for. Can anyone clarify what the big difference(s) is between these pedals? I'm looking for the classic 80's Pino-ish sound here.

Thanks! In the meantime I put a Nordstrand in it:

I think from the fact it was made by Status.

I was always a bit hesitant about graphite basses and necks, but the neck on my new Sterling...it's amazing.

Technically, it's a Sterling. And a Status. And a Nordstrand. Sooooo does it count?
