The bass player is none other than Nathan East. He also plays in the smooth-jazz band, Fourplay. 1st call session guy.
He uses his signature Yamaha 5-string bass. He had a signature EQ pedal also made by Yamaha, but I believe that it has been discontinued. |

just one more question, he used his sig model in 89 or so when the song was created?

Lee Sklar played on the rest of the tracks and was Phil's touring bassist for several tours as was Nathan East....both are phenomenal bassists and wonderful Human Beings...
Peace,

I know that Nate's sig bass was around in the early nineties, but I'm not sure if he used it on that particular recording. His "black box" EQ that he would show up with at sessions was also a thing of legend - I'm surprised the production model didn't catch on.
At any rate, IMHO, I think it's a combination of Nate's guitar, Nate, and PC's engineers/producers.
Agreed that Pino and Lee are awesome! Pino's fretless work is tasty.
I saw PC in concert when Nate was touring with him - I wish I had half his talent. He sings too.
Cheers,
Roger

Rogue luthier employed at Knooren Handcrafted bass guitars | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: The Netherlands | | | If Nathan East played on this track (and given the fact that he always was a faithfull Yamaha user) it's very unlikely that he played a Fender P-bass when the track was recorded
Another thing that proves without a doubt that he did not use a P-bass is the fact that we hear a low B growling along so it's likely to have been played on a five string bass, probably a BB-series , knowing that Nathan East favors those.
