DavidMcKay Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Had a couple of basses about 20 years ago. Dabbled but never seriously. Now approaching 50, looking to learn fretless and try to emulate (albeit at a very rudimentary level) Pino's sound on the Paul Young 'No Parlez' album. For me this was when I first heard the bass as a creative instrument as opposed to a 'backing element'. No disrespect to bassists the world over - I'm simply trying to articulate the effect that Pino's playing, sound, tone and texture had on me. This wasn't bass guitar - this was music! Do you feel the same? Can you point me towards anyone else who has a similar playing style? On a related note I watched Pino playing with The Who, and as much as I respect Pino - he seemed misplaced. Naturally this is subjective but there you go. My post - my rules! Anyways - back to the beer. It won't drink itself you know! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
