yorks5stringer Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Well I hope he got paid for the tenuous endorsements, maybe the deal was the mention of his album with Blake Mills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Same old boring basses found on every ill-conceived 'best basses' list normally compiled by someone who's exposure to basses consists of having gone to the bass section of their local PMT.

Cato Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) It's basically just a list of a fairly random selection of basses that someone else has compiled with a couple of snippets from a Pino interview crowbarred into it.

SteveXFR Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Yeah but the real question is do they metal? More importantly, what's Pino ever done in metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It's depressing that every other article they link to on that page either starts with a number or starts with "The" followed by a number. If video killed the radio star, then lists killed engaging journalism. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I saw NIN at the O2 when I was an invited guest backstage ... I was selling a bunch of vintage Hofners to Justin Meldal-Johnsen (introduction through @tayste_2000) and the planned meet at his West End hotel had fallen through. This was in 2009, an easy thing for me to check because the gig was just after Michael Jackson had died. They brought on special guest Gary Numan for a pretty good rendition of Cars. I wasn't a metal fan before that gig. Since then, I've utterly detested metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a metal fan before that gig. Since then, I've utterly detested metal. That version of Cars was excellent, we decided to do it in my classic rock band based on that version. Incredibly simple song to play, yet really good fun, especially if you have a keyboard player who nails the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 36 minutes ago, Hellzero said: And strangely no fretless... Strange as it's what put his career on orbit. Good point, but he's also pretty much responsible for the whole Precision Bass with flawounds resurgence, since D'Angelo's Voodoo album. Amongst younger players, Pino is probably more well known for that than his '80s fretless work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 In fact, here are all of Pino's contributions to the entire article. From that, they've just built an advertisement for a load of unit shifters which they can get a sales commission from. Shameless 😂 “Bass is the coolest instrument on the planet. You don’t have to jump around. You don’t have to do nothing. You can just stand there, play the bass, and hold it down. Maybe most people wouldn’t even be able to isolate what the bass is playing on a particular track. But as soon as it stops, they’ll know something’s wrong.” “Keep it simple, get a P-Bass. The P-Bass just has one sound, with a tone control. And so many amazing records have been made with bass players playing on a P-Bass. You really can’t go wrong with that.” “The fiesta red is always a color I really love and I love the feel of the neck on my ’61, which is just a different profile. So Fender put together those two instruments brilliantly and came out with the signature model.” “For me, there’s nothing quite like locking with a great drummer, and just the sense of being a team player in that way. I think bass generally draws personalities that are drawn to being team players.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has just one volume control.... AND a tone control with lots of different variations possible, especially when combined with different playing techniques....
