i have never seen a bassist with more soul into what he does. he sounds amazing with everything he plays and can play better than any other bassist alive in my opinion. one of my biggest influences as a bassist.

I was lucky enough to play his MM fretless once, it was then that I discovered what starstruck meant.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: Norway | | Pino, to me, is almost the perfect bassist. He can stay in the background, but do alot of subtle, awesome fills that fits and suits the song perfectly, and he also has the chops to pull of some jazz phrases (w/ Dominic Miller).
To me, he is, really, the one bassist I would love to emulate perfectly.  |

Well said.
Pino, and Anthony Jackson, are it for me. |

I think the number is very small, because messing up the vibe of the music is a great way to lose your job. Pino is a killer sideman, he is not a bass soloist. He should not be compared to a Victor Wooten sort of player.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: 97465 | | | This guy totally had me fooled. I was learning "Everytime You Go Away" in a band and I'm sayin' this guy has to be a classical player who's gotten into rock. His lines were so impeccable.
Turns out he doesn't even read.
This is not to imply any negative opinion on learning the skill of reading. Just sayin' the guy has mega-intelligence in his lines.

I know I did.

He holds it down like no other, and his fills and runs are always tasteful and groovin'! |

| | | | I was watching Paul Young's Live Aid set the other day on DVD. Pino's playing was great, but they didn't show much of him. Instead they focused on Paul Young's enormous 80's hairdo. |

New York Minute.
I've heard it hundreds of times now and am still in awe.
Great comments above - as usual, Dr. Cheese is spot-on. Pino is one of those cats that a drummer friend of mine refers to as, "a freak of nature." |
