I had an opportunity last night to go see a screening of the new Led Zeppelin documentary "Becoming Led Zeppelin" in IMAX (lot of grey hairs and Zeppelin tees there last night. Nobody broke a hip). First It must be said that the sound was unexpectedly glorious! I could never hear "Whole Lot of...

I have a friend who is there(he goes every year); right at this very moment he is taking in what appears to be a solo performance, and sent me some pics… He got jazz legend Charles Lloyd’s autograph, and said that Fred Frith’s set was amazing. The artist being honored this year is guitarist...

The album this came from was before Dusty In Memphis, but the first to be released on Atlantic(in the US). An interesting transition to a full-on soul style, recorded in London in 1968. Jones was not only on bass, but arranged everything… A Temptations deep cut song cover, and Jones put his...

So, I think this is the right forum for this, but my band is covering stairway to heaven, not just the intro, the whole song. Now that I’m breaking it down, I noticed a weird synthyish, octave-like, bass sound in the background around 2:25 to around 4:20 when the drums come in. After 4:20 the...

Video of John Paul Jones with other musicians playing When the levee breaks. Notice he’s playing a sunburst jazz bass and strings have different color silks on each string. I knew he had used Rotosound rounds and the flats on his Jazz and was recently using Elixers.

Dear friends, I teach musicology at a university and I will soon be starting a new course: The evolution of the bass guitar's "language" during the seventy years of its existence. Topics discussed: the conception and development of the instrument; the evolution of the techniques (fingers...

Hello all, I'm in the market for a new modulation pedal, and I'm thinking of getting either a phaser or a Univibe or even a rotary. I'm trying to get that throbby goodnees of John Paul Jones on "Heartbreaker." I know that he used a Leslie spinning speaker to achieve that and I'm thinking a...

i came across this picture the other day. at first i’d be inclined to believe that the 2 rickenbacker amps to the left are for jpj to use, but then i noticed in the corner right by the marshall half stack that there was a headstock of a jazz bass. is it possible he used a marshall head (or...

a marshall head, but what is that cabinet??? i first thought it was a vox maybe, but it seems a little too rectangular to me. also seems like maybe there’s a logo in the corner?? i think it’s a studio provided amp, and it’s the same one/same brand as the one jimmy is using. here’s the live video:

Wandered down a youtube rabbit hole this evening and wound up here. Loving JPJ's fuzzed out tone and, well, everything about this really.

you know the jazz one, you know that crazy alembic, but where is the love for the 53 p bass? that thing is an absolute beauty. i’ve heard the story about it where a guy backstage sold him the bass, but it was in a solid purple painted state (including the fretboard) and he had to go to the...

New video dedicated to the Harley Benton PB20 satin black ... for this new bass cover I chose one of the most iconic songs of the rock gods Led Zeppelin played in alternative version with fingers .. enjoy!

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here it goes. Maybe I’m just uninformed, but one thing that intrigued me for years is how to get the kind of bass tone one is to find in D’Yer Mak’er by Led Zeppelin. It has that subtle bite in the beginning of the notes, but the fundamental tone is...

I don’t have a Leslie but I think I have closely emulated JPJ’s tone on Heartbreaker ... I have paired a Darkglass B3k with the Aguilar chorusaurus ! Pretty excited about this. Check it here:

John Paul Jones is one of my favorite bassists and his Fender Jazz through an Acoustic 360 is probably one of the best Bass sounds ever. I know there is debate whether he used flats or not but after using Rotosound 77 flats, that is his sound and he stated in an interview he used them on his...

You members have need so helpful in my quest. Thank you! It seems that in my quest to give my Jazz Bass some Precision sounds that I may ultimately sacrifice the wonderful tones that make a Jazz Bass a Jazz Bass in the first place (not a good thing) (Ultimately I just may buy a cheap Squire...

Not sure I've got the optimal right hand fingering going here. How do most play the the part of this tune (right after the intro) that starts on D (5th fret A string)? This part: G|------7---7----| D|----7---7---7--| A|--5-----------5 | E|-----------------| I've had the most success with...
