Try setting the bass and treble controls on you Ray half way , or on the centre detent if they have one i.e flat , and then work hard on moderating your touch , and thinking like a genius . There was nothing special about his equipment , although on some tracks he used effects such as the Boss OC2 and a harmonizer was used on Wherever I Lay My Hat , I believe .

I think there was some subtle chorus in there as well, I get a close approximation with the Westone Thunder 3 an octave pedal with the first octave control set to about 1pm and the second octave control set to zero and a nice open chorus but not letting it dominate.....don't know if that makes any sense at all but I know what I mean :)

I often wonder just how much of e actual player you're hearing on YT vids like this. On many occasions there's a lot of the original player, in this case Pino, in the mix as well.

The really good players seem to have at least a few vids of them playing 'naturally' without the benefit of the original backing track.

I was in the old Bass Centre in Wapping once trying out the latest Trace Elliot arrival, the little BLX80.

Given its diminutive size and shape I was sitting down on top of it playing fairly quietly. There'd been a big delivery of Trace gear and I was surrounded by larger stacks of speakers which obscured the rest of the store.

I was also trying out a cheap Yamaha fretless and had a go at playing Wherever I Lay My Hat. I had a basic grasp of it but not exactly the world's greatest tone.

To my surprise someone the other side of the Trace wall of speakers started playing along and soloing over the top of me. I thought he was a bit 'good' and slowly stood up to look over the stack.

To my, even greater, surprise there was Pino with a little grin on his face :)

Needless to say my face flushed with embarrassment, I dropped back down and slunk away with the BLX in my hands to pay for it. As I walked past him he commented that he thought they were good little combos and that I'd made a good choice. I muttered a startled "thanks" and scuttled quietly away, lol.
