Roger2611 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I also love his work with Gary Numan and Paul Young, it got me into fretless playing and still frustrates me to this day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I just stumbled across this, Pino playing with Joni on a tune where Jaco played the original bass line. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2kUySnZ-Jw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=T2kUySnZ-Jw[/url] I know nothing of the CS but I can heartily recommend the Fender Road Worn series, or you could always get a Limelight made for you to the Pino spec.

JamesBass Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 His work with D'Angelo on Voodoo and Black Messiah is just something else! The man is utterly incredible! His work with John Mayer and the John Mayer Trio is also fantastic! His feel and the little nuances in his player are just breathtaking at times! Worth checking out the Unidentified Flying Project on YouTube, it's Simon Wood-Harris' project and all the players are top session guys and naturally Pino is the bass player, well worth a listen!

Bilbo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I am not particularly well versed in PIno's work but everything I have neard just makes me think he is a highly coimpetent journeyman rather than some sort of demi-God. Like Nathan East, David Hungate, Nail Jason etc. Great groove players, highly capable of delivering great lines at a moment's notice but, ultimately, anonymous. NB I have personally always struggled to divorce 'great' players from 'sh*t' material (James Jamerson is one of those guys who plays 'great' on what I consider, subjectively, to be some pretty awful stuff) and most of the acts listed above leave me cold.

tedmanzie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) There's a bass player Greg F on youtube who has transcribed/plays [i]loads[/i] of PP's neo soul type basslines, and he's very good. You can view the channel here: [url="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAE969A87515E64E9"]https://www.youtube....E969A87515E64E9[/url] if you message him he offers transcriptions (notes and tab) plus mp3s of the transcriptions.

Sibob Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Someone (I think a member here) made a Pino Spotify playlist if you're that way inclined, listening to it now weirdly enough: https://open.spotify.com/user/owen_liam/playlist/4J0KMwu3HUz9u2joumbZ2Z Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Other than his days with Paul Young and Jools - I've never given PP a second thought*, by his own admission his sig line on "wherever I lay my hat" was copped from listening to Jaco - perhaps that's the way it should be, play your part and remain annonymous while the music speaks for you *That said, he's a top session player and I'm contempating a few days off work during Easter. For me the 'thing' with many of these regularly employed top names is the music and the musicians that they share the session / stage with.. If the material is good and the vibe is good, great things can happen. There a lot of 'mojo' in some of these sessions that often isn't communicated when you come to try learning the part for your next gig. A decent P bass is a decent P bass - everyone should either own one, or have dismissed one at some point in their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
