tombboy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Definately NOT a Stingray and I don't recognise the shape. Maybe a Wal? I don't know..... it does have a Kahler whammy fitted though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbass116 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looks like a fretless Wal bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpop Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 This one of my favourite songs.............great playing...bring back the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombboy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Is that Pino with a blond mullet? I know he played on the album I Asassin, which is where this song is from but did he tour with Gary? Edit: quick look at 0:13.... thats definately Pino!

Marvin Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Hazard a guess a Wal Pro Fretless, that's been customed or modded. Great hair. Edited February 1, 2010 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Definitely a Wal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's not Pino... That's actually a good mate of mine called Andy Coughlan playing a Wal Fretless Pro 1.. He also has a couple of other very nice Wals in his kit bag as well, including one he calls 'Old Bluey' because it's a special one off light-blue colour. A fantastic player, these days Andy does a lot of double-bass work, but he still does a lot of gigs with his Wals, including Cerys Matthews amongst others.

Surely Numan would make sure the Welsh master of the low end could get on his live tour if he featured on the album they're touring just a thought!

James[/quote] Andy did some of the records as well, and was with Numan for some years. As for Pino, I've no idea..but that's definitely Andy & his Wal Pro 1.

tombboy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Pino was credited on the I Asassin album and also toured the US in 1992 promoting it. Looking closer, it's not Pino though he looks similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Pino did record the album track and this video looks like footage from Numan's White Noise live album (or around that time).

Tengu Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 This is from the Berserker tour in '84. I always liked Andy's playing and he seems like a top bloke. He always looked a bit embarrassed when it came to the solo at the end of this song. Typical bassist, I suppose, not really comfortable in the, literal, spotlight.

TransistorBassMan Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Like Tengu said, it's Andy Coughlan from Numan's Berserker Tour. Hammersmith Odeon, December 1984 (I was in the audience) He's playing a Wal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
