Is that a jazz neck on his p bass? The fingerboard is shiny too and the action looks ridiculously low...nice clip!

I thought we might have done it before but I ineptly failed to find it after several searches so there we are ... and anyway I was excited by clip.

I hadnt seen it before so thanks for posting.
Cant get too much of Pino anyways..

I came across this on YouTube a couple of days ago. Lovely clip. I've only recently got into his playing, he makes it look effortless and the bass looks stupendously small.

[acidbass]

He is simply incredible!

I reckon it's probably still a p neck, isn't it? He's just got gargantuan hands!

[Rayman]

[i]Yeah[/i]....quality clip, he's just brilliant.

[KingPrawn]

Very cool. Such a fluid player.

"Thats That".... is that what he says to himself at the end?

love "the sweedish chef" possibly the best and only Italian/welsh bass legend ever.
Pino, he da Man!

I've been listening to Paul Young's "Other Voices" album the last couple of days, Pino just kills on it, but then he does on whatever he plays on. Awsome player and apparently a thoroughly nice bloke too.

This week someone send me an excellent download of a PSP concert with Palladino..
I've been studying Pino's style for more than twenty years now and he still amazes me. While listening to the PSP tracks (with several bass-solo's on his fretless) I thought to myself that he's just getting better. It rarely happens but I had to turn it off because I got really depressed. It wasn't so much the technique but just the choice of notes and the lyrical aspect. The nice vibrato, just stay a little longer on the same note, add a nice chord and overall he plays so adventurous while keeping the groove.
He is one of the best bass players ever, sometimes hard to accept for scratching chickens like myself but he is truly blessed.

100% agreement there. whats PSP? BTW? with fretless solos?! gotta get me some of that,send it to ME TOO!!!

[MythSte]

I think this has come up before, and i said it then too, But Pino is totally my bass playing idol.

However, I cant get on with PSP. The reason i like him so much is because of his musicality and i think its compromised a bit in PSP.

Hmm... not sure about that. Anyway, thanks for posting.

Gotta love YouTube comments. Here are a couple of gems I saw right away:

penp26??? THAT'S THE STUPIDEST sh*t I'VE EVER HEARD. DUMB ASS COMMENTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT PRIVATE, ALWAYS!![/quote]

Must... resist.... temptation... to say.... 'speak for yourself....'

Well, I saw the same PSP youtube things before I went to their concert and I expected some musician's trip, dull and boring.
It totally wasn't like that, it was one big groove and every musician just brought the best out of their instruments.
I have never seen Pino play like that before (not with Paul Young, not with Mayer, not with the Who, etc), he got a lot of freedom and he filled it up with incredible pocket-bass work and his fretless was stunning. Don't focus on the youtube stuff, live it was something completely different.
But I dont need to be convinced anymore... :-)

I visited this concert (check from 1'50")

I love this clip with Manu Katche (probably my favourite drummer) and Dominic Miller.
