Why is this not in the millions, no one who owns a fretless bass should of gone without seeing it never mind the rest of us!

I dont really like PY but thats everything you ever need to learn in one song surely? Love it!

Wow.. I want me a fretless !!

Having lost a girlfriend to a PY lookalike in the distant past, that's a -1 for me, Oohh the pain! (still)
Anything Pino is awesome, I love the way he is so tight in the groove and then pulls the most wonderful frills

Not only that, but it also reminds me why I was right in giving up synths. Effing hate those poly sounds, and the synth world still has not recovered from this eighties illness. Exception for the DX7 though - that was a reasonable sound imho.
But Pino gives us the type of bass playing that seriously taught me that I should learn bass.

Thanks for posting.

best,

That clip, to me, is an A-Z of fretless clichés to be avoided at all costs. Not Pino himself really, but the whole host of imitators it spawned that couldn't play anything without loads of wildly exaggerated vibrato or bloody sliding harmonics.

I've seriously fallen out of love with the whole fretless thing - it really makes me cringe.

Sadly no

Good luck with that.

You could do a Jaco and rip the frets out!

It wasn't cliche when that track was released, it was new and fresh.

But now, like any perishable item, it's more than a bit smelly.

Definitely of its time, but still cool IMO.

Thanks for posting this.... I just sold my fretless 1 hour ago

[stingrayPete1977]

Ooops!

[risingson]

Very much of its time. Not a fan of the song but there's no denying that Pino carved out a significant sound on his fretless that got widely ripped off. The reason Pino is my favourite player though is that he moved really quickly with the times, identified where new music was happening and went with it, whilst at the same time keeping his ridiculously melodic chops and simply transferring them over to fretted! Amazing, amazing bass player.

[stingrayPete1977]

Such a versatile player
