Song: New York Minute
I'm trying to find out what effect was used on the bass guitar in this song. It's nice effect that I want to use on one of my songs. I searched the web but can't find anything about it. Thanks.

Here is some text from an interview, where he talks about his intonation: Intonation:
How did Pino deal with the problem of intonation on a fretless bass, given that many of his recorded bass lines were often first or second recording takes?
"I never really think about intonation: whenever I do, I play out of tune! If I really worry about it live - listening too hard to what I'm playing, rather than the whole thing - then it starts to get a bit sharp or flat, or whatever. It sometimes seems that, though the bass note may be right, the context makes it sound out. I don't really think about it in those terms; I just play until it sounds 'in'. Also, with fretless, you can do lots of vibrato, so a lot of the time, if you for a lick, up the top, you can give it a little shake to adjust the intonation, and it's more of an effect melodically."
So the intonation is totally fluid?
" Yeah, it just happens. Some producers on sessions I've done get really touchy about it; they put the tuner up, play the bass track back and say 'It's a sharp there...' I always ask them whether it sounds sharp, because it really doesn't matter what it looks like on the tuner. A lot of the time on tracks I've done, 50% of the notes are out of tune but it sounds OK. It's like voice - never perfectly in tune, and a guitar will always be slightly out of tune as you move around the neck. It's hard to get one with perfect notes everywhere. On a fretless, it's up to you where you want to pitch it." By the way - the bass he used on New York Minute was a fretless Music Man bass. Bob Bone

My pleasure - Google did all the work :) I love the sound of that bass too, by the way. Same bass player and same bass on another tune from that album - Down at the Sunset Grill. Bob Bone

I wish that was an effect instead of pure talent and feel. I'm reminded of that thread that seems to come into recording forums every now and then that usually starts like this. "How can I get that Allison Krauss vocal sound?" Randy
