I love this bit...

 

 There are still sessions to attend to in LA, with Covid tests in the car park for anyone taking part. “Film and music studios are considered essential to the economy here – you’ve got to love that, right?” he laughs. “Mind you,” he says, “that’s better than Britain telling you if you’re a musician or an artist you might have to look for a new job.”

Interesting bass in the top photo, maybe short scale?

Border patrol guards perhaps?

I thought I couldn't like Pino more... I was wrong

Modded Fender Jaguar?

Think it’s a silvertone of some format

Tuners and bridge look different, possibly early Japanese? Agree, could be Silvertone if you look at the bridge..

Possibly teisco or similar. Old 60’s cheapo. Looks cool

I would love to see the transcription of the interview, it feels like a 2 minute zoom call, then the writer talking about Pino's history. 

That being said I love that Pino is getting some press, he is in my opinion one of the finest of his generation.

The album is really good. Really varied and interesting and not at all a "bass players' " album if you know what I mean (although the bass playing on it is obviously excellent)

Couldn’t agree more, a bunch of top class musicians making music off the leash of genres and playlists, produced by one very clever and creative producer.

The Guy Pratt wedding speech quote was a cracker.

I thought the same. Lot of filler and not much conversation has made it into the article.
