Paulo Jr. (born Paulo Xisto Pinto, Jr. on April 30, 1968 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is the bassist and the only remaining original member of the Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura.[1]
In the latter half of his career, he has played 35" 5-string Zon basses, tuned flat. In a 1991 interview for the Under Siege concert video, he claims Max and Igor were so impressed by his bass ("Wow, what a nice bass, man") that they asked him to join the band, even though he didn't know how to properly play the instrument.
