Pino!

[bradfordws]

I walked by Phil Jones booth and saw this cool pic of Pino with his old Stingray fretless - haven't seen him with this bass for a while - I think he used this bass for all of his 80s tracks with Paul Young and Henley etc. Anyway, good to see him playing this bass again!

 

[Chuck B]

Seen a pic of him using his Ray in a local mag a while ago. Seems he plays it with the PSP band.

 

[Murphy]

Ahhh, yes, The bass and the man that was a big inspiration to me wanting to learn to play bass. plus Louis Johnson

 

[Manfloozy]

Big big props to Pino, 100%.

He's so tall it looks like a Sterling

Yeah, he's a tall cat and the SR4 looks even smaller when he's standing!

 

[Spudmurphy]

ahhhh me ol' mate Pino.

Haven't seen him for about 8 years - he still gets back to Cardiff every now and then.

 

[Chuck B]

Hm. How many cm are one foot? I have 190 cm and I don't think that a Ray looks small...

 

[Murphy]

ahhhh me ol' mate Pino.

Haven't seen him for about 8 years - he still gets back to Cardiff every now and then.

Wow, That's a very cool mate to have!! Did he pass any gigs onto you?

I saw a recent youtube video of him playing that bass.
Very cool tone.

what is the PSP band, you've piqued my curiosity

 

[RaginRog]

He's so tall it looks like a Sterling

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Looks like a mini- student's bass.

the band name is formed from the musician's names - Pino (Palladino), Simon (Philips) and what's the keyboarder's name...?

Wooow, Pino Palladino & Simon Philips?

That's the rhythm section!

By the way, this keyboard player, maybe David Paich? (ex. Toto)

Hey Murph!!
He used to play in Cardiff the same time as me when we were both a lot younger.
He switched from playing Rhythm guitar to bass and we auditioned him not long after his switch - he didn't get the gig!!

We laughed about it the last time I saw him about 8 years ago!!

 

[MrMusashi]

ps: its philippe saisse in the band

No, it was a french sounding name. Phillipe Saisse? Sorry I don't remember...

How on earth did he not get the gig????

I first saw him playing on "The Tube" with Paul Young.
Jools Holland raved about them and I was like, I have to play that!!
