John Paul Jones - Baja

[@brandoncallaway5354]

John Richard Baldwin's First Single With The Name "John Paul Jones"

[@familydogg1234]

"Richard"?

[@familydogg1234]

No " Richard" in there. I have every Led Zeppelin, solo members books and have been documenting their Recordings since 1982. My credentials of published work is too long to list here

[@rowdybodine8585]

How cool is it that he uses the bass as the melodic instrument, with the treble all the way up to sound guitar-like. Very Shadow-esque.

[@timmiller661]

It's likely that it's either a six string bass, probably the Fender VI, or a baritone guitar, which has a longer neck than a regular guitar and is tuned lower.

[@ouidacarrington4719]

Alright Jonesy !

[@gha714]

that Fender bass VI is too cool

[@michaelfunke8813]

This is a cover of Jack Nietzsche's tune Baja.

Makes me wish I was laying by the sea on a hammock with a bottle of whiskey

The mighty Jonesy

[@luvbasses5487]

Fender Bass VI.

[@MarkOutinen]

Nice.. cool 60s feel

[@kenwooster5282]

Wow..never knew about this..it's awesome

[@familydogg1234]

I'd like to hear The Astronauts version!

[@swampt.6898]

Wow! Sessions man Jonesy making his bass sound like a stratocaster with heavy strings, ha ha ha

[@jnjnjnjnjnjn]

I believe it’s a Fender (Bass) VI, not a P-Bass

[@swampt.6898]

@@jnjnjnjnjnjn OOOPS! My bad, in his session days (and early Zeppelin) he was using a Fender Jazz Bass, not a Precision as I had thought for more years than I care to admit. . . I appreciate getting set straight Josh, thank you!

[@FilmSkull]

I totally hear Lee Hazlewoods influence via London!

[@keithwahrer2223]

he wrote this!

[@themk7587]

Kinda has a Hank Marvin and the Shadows vibe to it.

[@onsesejoo2605]

And Jet Harris & Tony Meehan, Diamonds.

[@davidcrosswell1980]

He nearly joined The Shadows as a bass guitarist

[@Mr.SharkTooth-zc8rm]

😎👍

[@theox8276]

It's a Fender VI?

[@davidprice9689]

I believe it was a Burns 6 string bass, not a Fender.

[@stephendavis5530]

Sounds a bit like The Shadows...LOL!

[@CrYou575]

Lee Zeppelin?

[@jameschavez6400]

It’s kinda Peter Gunn

[@PrankZabba]

Reminds me of Herb Alpert

[@andyward8062]

Too bad he didn't know how to tune that thang.
