PAUL JACKSON/HEADHUNTERS BASS LESSON

[@johndaniel4597]

Paul Jackson was a one off - true electric bass royalty. A marvellous analysis of his supremely creative playing on 3 different cuts. That must have taken lots of listening and subsequent transcription - not to mention the virtuoso technique required to pull it off. Bravo Jonathan.

[@nateolson7754]

Mans killed it, such a helpful video. Hard not to notice the change in concentration when he plays flood at 125bpm. Paul Jackson is a legend

[@splank3]

Finally! I've been trying to tell the world about Paul Jackson for years! Thank You!

[@nobells4388]

Great stuff; one of my all time favorites. And yeah, Flood was hard to get back in the day!

[@franksmith4383]

Thanks for taking the time to put this out there!

[@renhoek3851]

Thanks so much for your lesson and the transcription

Paul Jackson's a legend

[@boochbass]

Damn! My favourite paul jackson bassline...thank you for this!!!! My favourite version was always the germany 1974 one and you nailed them all!

[@randyclere2330]

Love your playing buddy! this was just what the Doctor ordered!

[@nickpicc]

great vid, Paul Jackson is one of my favs for sure

[@NigelKaz]

Good editing btw, I love the cold open bass groove.

[@UncleChoppy]

Fantastic stuff. Have just got into Paul's amazing playing and it's great to see some analysis of his approach. You're clearly a very talented musician yourself so thanks for sharing this. I'd hesitate to say that Paul is underrated as most people who hear him seem to rate his playing very highly. It's just a pity that he's not better known!

[@magnusclay9978]

i know it is quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new movies online ?

[@cooperdakota6626]

@Magnus Clay flixportal =)

[@magnusclay9978]

@Cooper Dakota Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!!

[@cooperdakota6626]

@Magnus Clay you are welcome xD

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

Hell yeah, stanky grooves! Well transcribed and executed.

[@adamprize1]

This is great. I’ve definitely borrowed some of Paul’s licks from flood, which is my favorite Herbie Hancock record.

[@UspaceEntertainment]

Amazing :) Watching this is a real treat

[@McDoinky]

can anyone consult me on how to get PJ's studio tone? that deep, fresh P bass sound is the best i've ever heard

[@randyclere2330]

Thanks Johathan!! this was great!

[@jugglerjoe]

I just bought Thrust. I played Watermelon Man & Chameleon on trumpet in jazz band. I decided to pick up some Herbie Hancock albums. Thrust is one of his funkiest thanks to Paul on bass.

[@MrBasso69]

That's a great sounding P-bass. Paul Jackson was great.

[@thomasfaraone4213]

That’s a Moollon they always sound amazing

[@jugglerj0e]

Just had Thrust groovin in my car. Great Freaking Album.

[@martindebaere7404]

Thanks!

[@SungTongs19]

Would you ever be willing to tab this? It’s nearly impossible to find anyone teaching Paul Jackson stuff. Grateful for this video, thank you!

[@michaelanthony9068]

I just subscribed and “liked” so glad I discovered you ! I recently discovered Paul Jackson also. And you’re in Oakland? Rocco Prestia area too? Must be something in the water….

[@chukka62]

also bobby vega , larry graham and rustee allen raised in oakland , so this is the place !!!

[@redachraibi5993]

Great video!

[@postscriptum22]

Paul Jackson the funk god

[@leviequalsevil]

thanks man. The shed beckons :)

[@simonpaulengland7833]

nice stuff man.............

[@リッキージャベイス]

If you like Paul Jackson, you should listen to his works with Char (a Japanese guitar player), too. Search these. Smoky by Psychedelix Char 20th Anniversary Live Paul's bass guitar is on fire on these.

[@enriquehernandezhevia6817]

¡Gracias!

[@derekjones4253]

SLAMMING!!! Thank you.

[@gustavofredes2727]

Que modelo de bajo es? Y que modelo de pastilla usas? Tremendo!

[@cathridge]

RIP Paul Jackson 😪

[@gimmeagig]

Very tricky!

[@kellyhiggins4234]

My he rest in peace ..

[@JTPrime08]

Noice, I play bass and I like Paul Jackson. He’s an awesome and amazing bass player. Other than that, cool:).

[@richardrosemusic]

Nice work man! Which is your favourite version? The line to the live version (not Flood) sounds really cool. Im going to check it out now. Thank you

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Hey! I love the Flood version; it’s so hip, w/ line coming in late in the bar.

[@MrGlobalcheese]

Great playing. PJ is/was so awesome. What EQ settings are you using if any and what compression settings are you using please sir :D

[@benmadi]

I think of him like a great oil-painter, the closer you look the more you realize his natural talent and feel.

[@McDoinky]

The flood version is top

[@dnoyolaf]

Great job, sir... how about a little insight on the tone? So that's a Moollon you're playing with Super Bright Nickels.. 40-100? What pickups and DI are you using? You're going in flat? Any compression in there? Thanks!

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Thanks! Glad you like the video. Yes, a Moollon P-Classic. Dunlop Super Bright Nickels, but I think they were 45-105. Stock Moollon pickup (replacing a Moollon pickup is rare, b/c that’s a big part of their special sauce). Going in flat. Signal chain (to the best of my memory) is Bass->Tube Tech MEC-1A->Orion Antelope->Logic. I probably put a dash of UAD LA-2A on it, too.

[@dnoyolaf]

Jonathan Herrera thanks so much!

[@MrGlobalcheese]

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass Great playing. PJ is/was so awesome. What EQ settings are you using if any and what compression settings are you using please sir :D

[@flavioangelini861]

Do you have full sheet of theese? (also only the one from Thrust)

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Sorry, I don’t!

[@jonmuir13]

What strings are on this bass?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Dunlop Super Bright nickels

[@joshevans5127]

Nice vid, where do you get your drum loops from?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Hey Josh ... I made them!

[@joshevans5127]

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass Very nice, tight pocket groove
