I was in the old Bass Centre in Wapping once trying out the latest Trace Elliot arrival, the little BLX80.

Given its diminutive size and shape I was sitting down on top of it playing fairly quietly. There'd been a big delivery of Trace gear and I was surrounded by larger stacks of speakers which obscured the rest of the store.

I was also trying out a cheap Yamaha fretless and had a go at playing Wherever I Lay My Hat. I had a basic grasp of it but not exactly the world's greatest tone.

To my surprise someone the other side of the Trace wall of speakers started playing along and soloing over the top of me. I thought he was a bit 'good' and slowly stood up to look over the stack.

To my, even greater, surprise there was Pino with a little grin on his face

Needless to say my face flushed with embarrassment, I dropped back down and slunk away with the BLX in my hands to pay for it. As I walked past him he commented that he thought they were good little combos and that I'd made a good choice. I muttered a startled "thanks" and scuttled quietly away, lol.

barrie awesome story
,
ive been told by an unknown source that pino recorded alot of tracks on a pedulla fretless, after recently buying a superb 20yr old pedullla ( from the amazing guys as bass gear) i took it to a fellow bass players house , and his comments were
'wow what an amazing fretless sound , thats what a fretless should sound like " ;-)

Last year, I was lucky enough to buy Pino's back-up '79 fretless Stingray. I also have '80s Boss chorus and octave pedals. Unfortunately, his talent was not available to buy.
