bubinga5 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Just a magical bass line he wrote to imo, make a groove and add harmony where there might not have been on a pop record. http://youtu.be/EIdzGh01QIA Edited December 30, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Are you sure Pino played bass on this track, I used to work doing sound for a touring band playing all the big night clubs around the UK back in the 80's, all of the band members were session players of good standing, we played in Wales one weekend and I was introduced to a guy called Chris, bassist for Go West, who knew the guitarist in the band, I was chatting to him about Pino (No Parlez was the hit album of the time) and he said he used to share a flat with Pino and they had both taken up fretless at the same sort of time but Pino just blew him away? I have nothing to substantiate the above but it could explain why the song would have that Pino type sound and style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 http://www.allmusic.com/album/go-west-mw0000190147/credits I never knew who was playing at the time but Pino was the hook for me. It made it worth enduring that awful yodelling! In fact Mark King and he woke me up to what bass could be previously having listened to lots of Irish Country and Western in my youth. Not that there is owt wrong with C&W, just that it isn't that challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius Pino is listed as a bass player for the album "call me" is on.. Edited December 31, 2016 by markstuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
