I was just watching one of the concerts by the John Mayer Trio. And man they were really awesome!! One thing I couldn't help but notice was how tall Pino is, from what I saw, he looked like he was taller than John Mayer who's 6"4 himself. Then I saw this pic 
I did some calculations by the dimensions of the cabs which were Epifani T212 and Ashdown 8X10, approximating them to be about 20 inches and 45 inches respectively, which didn't make sense that adds up to 5"4, odd! Anybody met Pino or gone up close before? Maybe you can help me fill my curiosity!! |

I'm guessing, if john mayer is 6'4", pino is about 6"7 |

Cause I'm 6'3" myself and I feel like i'm sticking out of everybody whenever I play with my band which is weird, everybody's like 5'10" or under! Any of you ever get that?
Pino Rocks!!! |

I don't believe that John Mayer is 6'3". Maybe I am wrong but when I worked one of his shows he was definitely shorter than I.

(My drummer and girl singer are shorter than me  )

If the camera is about 5ft above his head and 35ft away and he is standing about 15ft in front of the cabinets, his head would appear to be the same height as the cabinets. |

I felt short.  |
