Never have I seen such an amazing bass player. Now that I have watched all of your vids, or at least most of them, you make me want to buy a : Fender, P bass, Maple fingerboard, Badass II, with black mark lines (hope I can call it that way). Sorry for my english dude, I never comment such videos, but I wanted you to know that you are a special bass player with a badass smooth sliding. Cheers from Uruguay (yes, the country that was 4th at south africa)
Excellent cover. I don't think it could be done much better than that. Also, I was wondering how you made it. I mean the microphone that you used and the source for the original music itself. Was it coming off a stereo? Keep us the good work.
GREAT job in picking out the song ending bass lines. The original recording is not great, and at the end the left and right channels seem to switch back and forth making it even more difficult to hear what's being played. Btw, I highly recommend software such as Transscribe, where one can slow down the recording (without changing the key), bump the song up an octave, and filter out the high frequencies. It makes a world of difference in being able to hear the bass-line better.
No one can play the song perfect, except for Jones. BassManOnTheHill plays it excellent, and I'm being picky since I can't play it good yet. At the 1 minute mark (measure 25) there is a walk-up from the low E to the next octave. On the original recording Jones does not play the G# twice, but plays more of a ghost note on the second G#. BassMan also rushes (or plays too fast) the two E notes in measure 26. But I have not seen anyone play it better than the BassMan (except Jones) .Excellent!!
I have to assume that the 3 dislikes just don't care for the song, because you absolutely nailed it - even the slight variations that JPJ threw in occasionally. Excellent !
That was awesome dude. Especially the last few bars, man john paul jones was really throwin down. You nailed it. I subscribed. May i requet some more glenn cornick(jethro tull). And Paul( the beatles). Man that cat trows down too. Check out lovelyrita. Good job
I've always thought that though it's popular among big Zep fans, Ramble On still doesn't get its proper due in the Zep catalogue. It's truly among their greatest work. It's alos probably Jones' most mind-blowing bass-line--an element of Zep that makes them untouchable. You nailed every hammer-on and slide and even the improvised outro I've always been facinated with. Fuckin' bravo.
JPJ was a guitarist/keyboardist as well and it came across in his bass playing. He filled all of the holes Page left and it was what we can call classic.
He could never have played any other than a Fender to get the sounds he did and it was usually a P-bass.
I really hate you. I respect you as a bassist, but I hate you because of the fact that you can play the song so perfectly, I don't even want to post my own cover of it because it will just be mediocre compared to yours.
@TNTIV ha, ha, do I not get any credit for shear smooth style. No, seriously, I'm just using nickel roundwounds, and the pickups are stock. It helps to get your neck polished up for some smooth gliding. My frets are pretty worn, helping maintain smoother sliding (not that I wouldn't mind refretting the bass).
@weponspec1682 Sure, I recommend playing until your fingers are tough as leather. At first you'll get blisters, but they eventually turn to calis. Also, learn music theory, you know , scales, modes, fingering methods. Try to use some practice time for pure improv as well. Good Luck, you'll bet back what you put into it. Be patiient. Like any instrument, the bass can take some time to gain a smooth style. Best Wishes
@WeedVulva If your bass is like mine it has height adjustment screws on each string saddle. There are 2 screws per saddle. Simply turn them counter-cloackwise to lower the saddles. Make sure you don't lower the strings too far, or you'll get a lot of buzz on the frets. Keep lowering while tuing your strings as you go, so you'll know if you've gone too far. The screws usually take a jewelers' screwdriver (flathead), but yours may be different. Good luck
I couldn't find the notes for this, but this video plus some tabs really helped me learn this song, thanks for posting this man. Just got a Fender Jazz, great bass!
That is incredibly cool to see you play that bass line. I've been trying to get that song down for over 30 years and have never mastered it the way you have. Thanks for sharing.
@BassManOnTheHill Hey. Your videos are AMAZING. You nail every song with perfect timing and tone. You get every variation perfect! I was just wondering if your using a bass backing track or just playing with the track. If you are using a backing track where did you get it?
@m4carbine85 Thanks a bunch. I just record my bass over the original song. I try to keep my bass more in front than the bass on the song. You can turn down the bass on your cover track and turn up your own bass to be in the forefront.
@BassManOnTheHill Thats whats great about bass! You can use the original tracks and turn down the bass. But with guitar, its completely different. Love your bass playing though!
If anyone can help me, specifically BMOTH, where can I find soundtracks w/o the bass? Or do I have to create them? I'm just thinking about performing live so I just want to know, BTW nice smooth playing
In reply to flat wound strings: I only use flat wounds. They are such a deep dark, moody tone...I love 'em. On the other hand those round wound bright tin strings that you can't get a bass tone out of are at the bottom of my list.
@jdmbates I second that on Zep 2.. also this guys plays ramble on even better than, dare I say John Paul Jones. The good thing about watching this video is, I thought I was a pretty good player... till I watched "bass man"
@JazzBass420 No, I tried them once and I didn't like the tension. They can be very stiff. For smooth sliding, I just use a little polish, which helps deadin some ot the bright tone of my strings as well. I've heard from other bassists that a string called a half-round is a bit more practical, but I have yet to try them. Thanks, let us know what you think of the flat-wounds.
@MrIpenguin12 Awesome! Glad to hear somebody has tried them and likes them. I may pick up a set next time I buy strings. I'm getting bored with the same old roundwounds anyway.
Wow man, nice bass! I've also seen you "The Lemon Song" cover, and, quite frankly, it was amazing! Oh and I LOVE the tone on your bass, you really have put some soul into it my friend, good work, yours well and truly,
How much does that bass costs? You really deserve it dude, even a better one like john paul jones one, that manson one. Im really impressed dude, you deserve a good band to play on. Keep Calm and Ramble On
I cant do that with mi fender SQUIER shit, I wish I could have a Fender P Bass as good as yours, lucky but at the same time, you deserve it, you gifted guy keep on working you'll get known if you keep on working, good luck sir.
@bigtwnvin Thanks, and yes I agree. The badass II does add sustain and helps with more precision tuning and intonation. No, I haven't done any professional session work, yet.
Great work. I actually did a search for "Ramble On" bass and yours was first in the search. I have to say, I was almost afraid to click because I hated to hear someone ruin it. So I was really impressed to hear someone play it so well.

@FrizAtHome naa, dude, they're both awesome, at the same level. also, they play very different genres of music, so it's kind of impossible to compare them..
ya real ur good i just pickup a bass how hard is it to learn ? & how long u been playing . bad ass cover i play guitar is it hard to switch over or do both . i want to do both . keep on rock'n'.
Bro are you from NJ? because there's a band ZEP cover band called Black Dog i thought you might be the bassest for them because you mentiond your in a band. if not do you have any vids of your band posted? you guys must be very good with you on the 4 strings.
MAN! You are 1 hell of a bass player... I added you to my favorite you tube videos. I really enjoy you playing my favorite songs without a mistake. Let me ask you this, Do you keep a standard tunning while playing most of these songs or do you ever tune down?.... Keep the videos coming!.
Thanks, glad you like the vids. I just tune to the songs as they are on the recordings. The only significant alteration in tuning was for Hey Hey What Can I Do, which was tuned down 1 & 1/4 steps.
I just started to learn this song from a book and could not, for the life of me, figure out the right hand. Thank you so much for posting this. Beautiful job. Spot on. Best cover vid I've seen in a long while. Definitley the best of Ramble On, by far.
Led Zeppelin will always be the BEST band, listened to them since i was 4. And for whatever retard thinks Jimmy Page is the bassist for Zepp, HE IS THE GUITARIST, JP Jones is.. and btw jimmy page is no slob, all for of the band members are amazing.
Sorry , but jimmy page is not the bassplayer of Led Zeppelin. And anyway, I think led zepplin is great live. That's why live is not studio, it has mistakes, faults, but also new inspiration and contact with audience. Live-life...see the connection. I think, when you see led zeppelin live, your ears and eyes fall out of your head.
thanks very much. I have made some original bass centered songs I plan on posting. The originals I play with my band haven't been made into videos, just audio. Hopefully within a few weeks.
Look for "Led Zeppelin I & II" which has both their first two albums in tabulature and notation, plus vocals. I found it in a sheet music store, but can be ordered at just about any music store.
The best music I've seen for Zep Bass is from Alfred Classic Album Editions. Keep in mind the tab is not perfect. A good ear is still required. Thanks.
Jimmy Page is God? "STOP PUTTING GOD DOWN LIKE THAT" God isn't sloppy. but Jimmy Page is. thats if you know anything about guitar. BUT! what i will say is Jimmy Page has incredible feeling and you just cant learn that. Lots of respect to Jimmy but he over dubbed to much in the studio thats why Zep soundS horrable live
ok first jimmy page isn't a complete slob. he is all over but its solid. he is better than most guitarists i know. plus i saw there last concert and it was one on the best sounding in the world
First of all my name is not DUDE! second, I never read anything in the bible about GOD being a sloppy guitar player and overdubed most of his studio recordings . so when ZEP plays live they sound HORRABLE. your 0 for 2 next pitch your out!
I've yet to find a good bass cover of this song, untill I listened to this one, great great cover dude, the tone was awesome, it was very clean, FIVE STARS!!!
From a theory perspective, can you explain the little riff at 4:06 - 4:08? it sounded great!

I just started to learn this song from a book and could not, for the life of me, figure out the right hand. Thank you so much for posting this. Beautiful job. Spot on. Best cover vid I've seen in a long while. Definitley the best of Ramble On, by far.

My favorite bass performance by JPJ - and you nailed it! The fill in the chorus is the best bass lick of all time..

Led Zeppelin will always be the BEST band, listened to them since i was 4. And for whatever retard thinks Jimmy Page is the bassist for Zepp, HE IS THE GUITARIST, JP Jones is.. and btw jimmy page is no slob, all for of the band members are amazing.

Sorry , but jimmy page is not the bassplayer of Led Zeppelin. And anyway, I think led zepplin is great live. That's why live is not studio, it has mistakes, faults, but also new inspiration and contact with audience. Live-life...see the connection. I think, when you see led zeppelin live, your ears and eyes fall out of your head.

thanks very much. I have made some original bass centered songs I plan on posting. The originals I play with my band haven't been made into videos, just audio. Hopefully within a few weeks.

Cool, this is alot closer to the warm-fat-clean tone that JPJ used to get back in the 70's.
JPJ used to play with his thumb resting on the neck at the body cutaway, (like Glenn Cornick).

Where can I find this version in sheet form or tab form??
Any Led Zeppelins sheet books or tabs to buy, download...

Look for "Led Zeppelin I & II" which has both their first two albums in tabulature and notation, plus vocals. I found it in a sheet music store, but can be ordered at just about any music store.

The best music I've seen for Zep Bass is from Alfred Classic Album Editions. Keep in mind the tab is not perfect. A good ear is still required. Thanks.

the thing about led zep is everyone says how amazing a guitarisit jimmy pages is, and no one even knows who john paul jones is.
JPJ is led zeppelin, forget those fags robert plant and jimmy page who have spoiled everything with their middle eastern drum machine shit

Jimmy Page is God? "STOP PUTTING GOD DOWN LIKE THAT" God isn't sloppy. but Jimmy Page is. thats if you know anything about guitar. BUT! what i will say is Jimmy Page has incredible feeling and you just cant learn that. Lots of respect to Jimmy but he over dubbed to much in the studio thats why Zep soundS horrable live

Uh, God, (assuming there is one, which I doubt), would be an infinite Being, and therefore, incapable of being put down.

ok first jimmy page isn't a complete slob. he is all over but its solid. he is better than most guitarists i know. plus i saw there last concert and it was one on the best sounding in the world

First of all my name is not DUDE! second, I never read anything in the bible about GOD being a sloppy guitar player and overdubed most of his studio recordings . so when ZEP plays live they sound HORRABLE. your 0 for 2 next pitch your out!
