I've recently bought a Pino Palladino signature Precision Bass. But I'm not fully satisfied with the sound of the bass. The D-G pickup have far less low end than the E-A pickup.

I'm comparing it with a '65 P-bass and an '09 American Precision, and they both sound equal through out the notes compared to the Pino. (And more present and "in your face").

I took a pictures of the wiring on the Pino bass, and compared it to some other pictures on the web. And it seems to be missing a ground wire between the pots.

Is there something missing or am I just beeing picky.

Thanks!

The black wires to the pots are the grounds from the pickups. The metal shield on the back of the pickguard acts as the ground between pots. Try adjusting the pickup heights to equalize the output.

Everything I've heard about the PP CS Bass has been overwhelmingly positive.

If it weren't relic'ed (not my thing,. but awesome nonetheless) I'd have given it serious consideration, as it has two of my favorite attributes in a bass guitar.

1) It's Fiesta Red

2) It's an FCS P-Bass
