hubrad Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Cheers for that, Hutton.. grey and drizzly outside so PP has brightened the afternoon for me. I'd not seen it anyway.

None of us are. We are just at different levels. It's guys like Pino however that can inspire us to keep learning and practising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to keep in mind that many of our mega-heroes started when they were kids and did that to exclusion of all else! Never surrender to despair!

The Bass Doc Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I wonder if the bass he is playing in this clip is 'the one'. I understand the tribute model to be a slab fingerboard jobie and the one featured shows a cambered board. 1962 was the year of the change (around June I believe) - anyone got any info to add, or is it simply a case that he has more than one 62 bass?

Pete Academy Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Jeff Berlin famously denounced fretless bass because he thought everyone just sounded like Jaco clones. He's probably right, but Pino is the exception. His fretless playing is integral to the tracks he's performed on being major hits. Lady In Red being a prime example.

witterth Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is that a lined fretless hes got there? ( I know about his signature p-bass) or just his technique thats ssoooo good? just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 When Pino plays fretless he uses his pre-EB Stingray. His Precision is fretted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I love the whole show that this vid is from. The DVD is called "Into The Light", well worth the £8 or something from Amazon! Pino is a star!, if he doesn't give you Precision GAS, nothing will! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She Moves Me off Paul Rodgers' "Muddy Waters Blues" album to be precise - tasteful little slid pinched harmonics & a pantwettingly gorgeous tone. Dunno if I'll ever get there, but the journey so far has been bags of fun. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Why is Pino famous, is he in a famous bad or a session style player? Just curious as I hadn't heard of him until 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubrad Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Not in any way to decry Jaco - that guy was a genius and no doubt, but Pino's playing has always just seemed more relevant to where my head's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayGarrett Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Nice clip - gotta love a bit of Pino action on a rainy Sunday Saw him with the Who at Glastonbury - total legend but still seems to be one of those under-the-radar types. Kudos to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardbass Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The bass player's bass player. A really, really nice player. Everything he does sounds great to me. Too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Probably my favourite bassist of all time. He just never fails at playing exceptionally good lines in whatever he plays on, no matter what the style. It's always just perfect for the song. I know he recounts Jaco as one of his major influences, but like a few others here, Jaco just doesn't do it for me, while Pino just slays me every time!

OldGit Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) It was the Paul Young Album "Ne parlez" that made the general bass playing public aware of him, though I am sure he was around before. When "Wherever I lay my hat" jumped out of the radio and TOTP we all went "Wha???! What is that and who is that guy?" That was in 1983... The TOTP youtubes generally have idiot DJ's talking over the intro so here's a complete version. To my mind he took the Jaco fretless stuff and refined it for a more general audience.

kets Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Awesome post, Pino IS the man! John Mayer's an awesome axemeister as well though, very Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pino also did some superb playing on Joan Armatradings "The Shouting Stage" Album. Check out the intro to "The Devil I know", could be the best Pino lick ever IMO.
