Chris2112 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Morning all, Just a quick question on behalf of a friend of mine. He is a big Led Zeppelin fan and was today telling me about how much he has been enjoying the Celebration Day DVD. He was wondering what bass JPJ is playing in it. I'm not a Led Zeppelin fan so I don't really know what JPJ favours these days. It can be seen in the video below, does anyone know what it is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpigDGf6vXM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Oh dear Jimmy sounds pretty awful in this. I can see why they were reluctant to issue it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The DVD is incredible. The bass is a bit subby but as a performance, an event, it's fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But otherwise? I can't really see the point myself, but then I'm not a big Zep fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So us not-so-big fans can stick with the 5 hour "DVD" or whatever it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I saw SikTh last week and their bassist used one of these for a few of the songs from the second album.

mep Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's a very tasty bass. Once when visiting Mansons I was eyeing it up and Huw Manson (JPJ's tech) got it down for me to try. Unfortuantely I had to give it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's quite telling on the DVD that when JPJ plays the Fender Precision the bass really jumps out of the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedoghouse Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Maybe I'm in a minority here but I quite like JPJ's tone on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I was thinking the same having just listened, certainly not as good as I've heard on other live recordings it but I though it was pretty nice. Was within a few feet of him when he was playing with Them Crooked Vultures a few years back and that was a bass sound to remember, just fantastic and he was clearly having a blast playing with those guys.
