Whilst I basically agree with all this I don’t know what it’s got to do with Pino’s ability as a bass player. As he is not a founder member of The Who I doubt he got that much free reign in what to play or how to play it.

Waterfall - Stone Roses

I don’t know Pino but as he is a member of our rather odd human species I expect he conforms to the same expectations and cultural norms as the rest of us. In the same way as most people wouldn’t turn up to an interview at the highest level in a cheap suit, I expect he would turn up with an instrument that meets the expectations of the people hiring him and is suitable for the session.

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

Daydream believer - The Monkees

Like most things in life I am sure there is a mixture of form, function, aesthetics and perception (add to list as required)

I’m not surprised. He’s worked hard, got really good at something and I suspect is earning fairly decent money.Why not treat himself. I rarely see successful (business) people driving entry level Ford Fiesta’s even though they do a decent job of getting from A to B.
