greghagger Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I’ve made a video about Pino’s sublime fretless bass line on the intro to Paul Young’s, Wherever I Lay My Hat. Pino quotes an interesting source for part of the melody. Anyone know who that source is? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 He's said he lifted it from Stravinsky in this video Pino talks the intro the 'Wherever I Lay My Hat' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s so humble in that interview is he. What an awesome musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybee Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Great video - im sure far beyond my fretless abilities, but you make it look effortless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I was going to say the answer was a Stingray until I saw the Jazz! I'd still like a fretless 'Ray some day, Every Time You Go Away is one of my favourite bass lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It was one of the first songs I learnt when I made my fretless, as well as several other Pino songs. Fantastic player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t got a fretless Stingray or I would have used it in my video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
