Hi from David McKay - a big Pino Palladino fan

[DavidMcKay]

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!

Hi David, welcome to the forum...
... you do know you have to pay certain fees if you want to sell in the classifieds, don't you..?

Enjoy.

Hello David,

Try Curt's work with Tears for Fears. Head Over Heels and The Working Hours are particularly lush. Terrific fretless playing!

Welcome to Basschat!
