Echoes-Live at Pompeii-Bass Tab-Bass Cover-Pink Floyd-Roger Waters

Due to the length of this masterpiece, I trimmed out the sections where the bass wasn't involved and had to record in segments! It was a ton of work but totally worth it as it's the coolest and the most sophisticated Pink Floyd bass line ever recorded IMO! You can get all of my past & future tabs in PDF format (239 & Counting) for just $24.95 at basstabsbyjaso... Or you can browse around and purchase many of them individually.

This song is the reason why I started playing bass

[@elsielotus]

me too!

[@kasranourani2098]

Best reason to play bass I agree I'm going to do as well

[@Hellnawno]

the only reason you started playing bass is because guitar is too hard for you

[@elsielotus]

@@Hellnawno wow! you’re really projecting insecurities

Roger was really shining in the funky section

[@MrStarchild3001]

This one of Roger's finest bass lines. Very well thought out. Almost feels like an orchestra alongside with guitars, vocals and keys.

[@Gma7788]

Only 1 problem, this isn't Roger's bass guitar. This isn't Roger's amplifiers too.

[@timothyholly1289]

Roger and Nick deserve as much credit for the sound of Echoes as David and Wright

[@brettthebassist]

That slide at the 8:55 mark is brilliant!

[@nigelpisswater484]

Roger always improvised on this song in all the performances, it works so well.

[@bodhirosen3055]

This song is the perfect example of a bassist who understands their role in a given song. Even though you can’t make out the bass as a focal point in most the song (minus the funk riff) the bass perfectly bridges the keyboard/percussion with Gilmores guitar.

[@lucacecca5535]

that is honestly what made the pink floyd to me, the bass, guitars and keys are always so funky and interlocked in their way of playing, starting from echoes and obscured by clouds up till animals; especially in have a cigar you can barely distinguish who is playing what in the way they all blend together

[@Sanderteeuwen]

You can hear the combination of high and low bass notes throughout the song very well. That’s why I like the bass in this version of the song so much.

[@jacksonfritts2988]

You have waters style down so well. It’s simple but there’s little nuances you picked up on greatly. Thank you!

[@luika112]

This version of echoes is my favorite song by pink floyd. It's absolutely a masterpiece. Thank you for covering this song. And I have bought the tabs which were transcribed by you already. Keep it up bro!

[@PeterMcLoughlin4504]

You are such a legend Jason

[@TheJopor]

I love echoes as I was 17 then 1973 and I got absorbed in Pink Floyd tunes and the lsd ....I like very much Jason technique of playing the " Thing" - thanks for it to you all that made this available on you tube channel.

[@thirasgooo]

dude nailed the whole song. damn.

[@pierryangelo]

This music was made in heavens. ❤

[@IgniteTheRiff]

These songs have always been hard for me. I'm used to Sabbath riffs which often have a pattern. Roger tends to do seemingly random fills that are difficult for me to remember.

[@ivans.191]

Well Sabbath bass parts are quite twisted

[@frailty7280]

0:42 i have a feeling if I were to be playing this song in full band I would be too busy fucking VIBING to keep playing after this bit

[@DaffierPig6843]

My god this song is incredible and you did and excellent job

[@edgarpascualnacher3511]

WHAT?! I will take whatever time it takes to learn this. Thanks for transcribing it and playing it!! You are amazing with the pick

[@Gma7788]

I'm great too. What I can do with the pick amazes me. Just that good. I'm being looked after. The planet is right there for me.

[@floo1373]

Amazing! This one and "Careful with that axe", also from Pompeii, has been my favorite Roger Waters live bass work! Thank you for this one.

[@JWentu]

right now I need to hug you to express my deepest gratitude. this was unbelievably amazing. thank you!

[@kaumjahiliyah8744]

beautiful P Bass👍

[@danwilkinson2797]

This song should be studied by NASA because it picks up on the universes main career wave using sound as a vehicle for mapping. The unknown and known universe was spoken into existence with notes not words in order to be deciphered by all life forms in all dimensions. This is also a porthole

[@MrSparks54]

Good stuff Jason. I appreciate the score which I much prefer to tabs so having the notes is awesome. Thanks!

Did Roger Waters actually compose this?

[@rickgrimes2056]

Yes

[@Gma7788]

And now what? How do we get Roger to talk about it before he dies soon? The movie 🎬 actors of the 1970's are almost all gone so now it's time for the young musicians to pass away. Then the 80's actors will all pass away.

Precision best sounding bass

[@jolo8146]

I agree. I have a squier precision bass, but it has a P/J configuration. Had it for about a year. Only used the J pickup probably 5 times. Not a fan of the bright sound tbh. I like a deep punchy P bass.

[@Gma7788]

@@jolo8146 wrong. The squire pickups make LoFi sounds not HiFi. It's actually a dull sound in comparison to the HiFi bass. 60 years and you still don't know it's LoFi. Being LoFi, it's actually quite in the noise problem. But you're too slow to notice.

Your Bass Line in funky part has nothing to do with echoes live at pompeii.

[@Gma7788]

Another missed opportunity for Roger. We like this song so much Roger could have given us the bass version too. He could sell all the songs with a bass version too. Why not! We're old enough to handle 20 more versions. Other later live versions are SO sloppy and lazy. He could take this version and run with it into spin off's and do more with the old sounds.
