franzbassist Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Early Nick Heyward, especially "Take that Situation", "Whistle Down the Wind" by Nick Heyward......... trust me on this. Also, Julia Fordham's earlier albums have great fretless playing on them. I think Pino is responsible for a lot of the above sessions.
