bubinga5 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) he's obviously a Pino fan. but i think his playing is great. you might say that he's playing every note to the letter, but it highlights for me how good pino palladino's bass playing is. .people who play covers can only get so good, i know, but its still great to hear a bassist doing something well. i was waiting to hear how he executed the fantastic fills that Pino plays on this record, and he doesnt let down. great playing from Miki Santamaria. and a lovely tone from that Pino Custom shop.

booboo Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great playing, and the TI's + rosewood board and passive bass sound like honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 At first I found his timing too frantic and it made me feel anxious, but he settles in really nicely in the second half. That does sound like an octave doesn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]im interested to know your thought's on why you find his timing too frantic, at the start Nige..? not knocking your opinion buddy, but do you know something about good timing that i don't ? am i missing something Edited April 2, 2014 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Sounded too far ahead of the beat for me and generally not sweetly timed. It might have been that the backing was so quiet. It's just a perception thing though, clearly for most it sounds fine. I'm not keen on his tone either Edited April 2, 2014 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only guessing to be honest. and I'm not one for telling people what they can hear. different ears and all that.

Green Alsatian Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 He mentions in the vid description that he's using the Boss OC-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
