It is *the* greatest bass line in all of rock and roll. Yes, Entwistle and Squire played neat, busy bass lines but the bass on Ramble On is still a *proper* bass part. It wasn't written on bass, so its role was still to support the guitar and vocals - and it *never* gets in the way of either, yet it's the part that *makes* the song; it's really the only part of the song that you can hum - and STILL it doesn't step on the vocals or guitar. The only other bass player in popular music (and I mean that in the broadest sense possible) who wrote bass parts like that was the also legendary James Jamerson.

Yeah, it's very sad to me that slapping and popping is reduced to funk ONLY! It's like a cartoon style, and it doesn't have to be! But JPJ was one of the kings of melodic bass, along with McCartney, Squire, Rutherford, and a few others. All too often I see bass players that can slap and pop their way through a wonderful solo, but then drop the ball playing with a band. I fear soloing is killing truly great bass playing!
@reiniervanzwieten70926 жыл бұрын
Dude Good bass playing is still really relevant. just look at some of the best bassist. you have people like joe dart of Vulfpeck. also that guy i don't know the name of that plays in Jamiroquai. and then all rock and metal have some damn fine bass players who basically never slap. i myself am a quite jong bass player. and yhea i do like that showoffy stuff like marcus miller, but only to play not to listen to. I really like to listen (and play in bands) the bass lines that are groovy and simplistic. trust me, i just think there are to many bassist of my generation caring more about technique and speed then groove and timing but i think those people are not as serious about the instrument. and there are enough bass players my age who do think it's really important to set the groove and those are i think the ones that have a chance at getting in some great and popular bands. what i would say is decreasing is jazz soloing(it is something i am working on but it's quite difficult) but when it becomes rare everyone wants to know how to do it again because it's unique.
@SciFiArtman6 жыл бұрын
Sure, there are plenty of good bass players out there, I never said there weren't. But I DO think there is way too much focus on creating cool solos, and the art, craft, and skill of playing with band is suffering because of this near obsession with bass soloing focus. That's NOT a bass player's number one job, IMO. Soloing is fun, and cool, and looks cool on KZbin videos, but the art of being a functional bassist in a band isn't progressing nearly as fast as flashy soloing. It's not a popular view, but I think it's one bassists should consider, or not. I've seen this with drummers too! Killer soloists, but only so-so with a band.

It makes sense, though. The only member I genuinely find less impressive than him in any/all forms is Plant (who seems like a lovely guy with amazing taste in music regardless of decade, including those since). It's a dilemma ranking the members of Zep, which is why you shouldn't bother. I'm not a fan of the "JPJ was the secret weapon" thing. It obviously isn't objectively true, even though he could play a whopping 2.5 types of instruments pretty well.
@paulsummerside6 жыл бұрын
For JPJ, its not simply just technique that is important, but the tone he gets and the sheer feel and timing that he gives to each tune. Something that is probably even harder for some to get than technique alone. Infact for the JPJ sound, as with most artists, tone and feel for a piece will go further than technique.

The bass part in “The Song Remains The Same” is phenomenal. I think his playing is probably overshadowed by other rock bass heroes because even when when he was playing incredibly difficult and musically sophisticated lines, even very busy ones, they were always serving first and foremost as rock solid rhythm section support, and furnishing harmonic interest without getting in the way.

John Paul Jones is a musical beast. I"m a guitar player and I love Jimmy Page but there are so many Zeppelin songs where I always key in on and marvel over the bass part not only as a stand alone track of technical wizardry, but also how brilliantly it relates in different ways to both what the drums are doing and what the guitar is doing. Lemon Song is one where I always focus on the bass track the entire song and it just makes me realize how insane his chops really were. You can tell he's improvising through those jam sections and he's hitting so many god damn notes and not a single one of them is a brick and it never muddles up what the guitar and drums are doing whatsoever. He's still that good. His bass parts for Them Crooked Vultures are just amazing. That album is easily the most rockin' album any of the members have done outside of Zeppelin. Long live JPJ!

One interesting thing I'd like to point is that most bass guitarists who take a more melodic and vivid approach to the instrument actually got into music playing other instruments before they became bass guitarists. Paul McCartney was a pianist, John Entwistle played trumpet, John P. Jones was an organist, Flea played trumpet, Roger Waters played electric guitar, Jack Bruce played upright bass (Which is actually a very melodic instrument. Listen to jazz if you don't know what I'm talking about), Sting learned acoustic guitar (Spanish style), Geddy Lee got into music by singing in a choir, and the list goes on and on.

One of the things I've learned playing Zeppelin on bass is that, just like Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones wasn't always super "clean", but in the context of the song, what he played rocks so hard. Plus, he wouldn't play exactly the same line over and over again, but add a lot of subtle variations. So I try to not obsess over playing the exact same lines every time either, but play around with them a little as well and focus on the rocking :)

Nice job covering the (relatively) unknown hero of one of the great rock bands of all time. Like Jamerson, it's not until you start trying to play those parts, that you really appreciate the brilliance of what he contributed. I would like to hear your take on The Lemon Song but not just the bass solo section.Thanks
