[edit] Mandolin

Jones obviously plays a mandolin (not triple neck, evidence seen in any "That's The Way" performance), yet it is not listed under his "Gear." Anyone know what he plays?

[edit] Jones's name

Can anyone confirm if John Paul Jones is a pseudonym or an actual name change? Album credits refer to his wife as Mo Jones; the article mentions his daughter as Jacinda Jones. If John Paul Jones is his actual name now, his family's names would make more sense. --HighHopes 15:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

I believe it was an actual name change... as the article suggests, I believe. Firenexx 01:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be changed then? Shouldn't the first sentence be "JPJ, as known by his previous name John Baldwin?"

I went to middle school with his daughter in Sussex, England. At that time she and her sister Tamara both used the last name Baldwin.

Despite how this is off topic, that is very interesting to hear.

[edit] The Image

Hmmmmmm. . . . Is there a way to shrink the picture down to a resonable size?

-What was wrong with the old one?

I didn't see an image there, so I put one. Oh, and please remember to sign with four tildes. firenexx 02:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I just finished reading an amazing book, stairway to heaven, and yes it it john baldwin, nickname jonesy. thats so amazing about going to school with him. john paul jones is amazing

[edit] "Triple-necked mandolins"

"His diverse contributions to the group extended to the use of other instruments, including unusual double and even triple-necked mandolins."

This is a little mis-leading. He never used a "triple-neck mandolin," just a triple-neck composed of a six and twelve-string guitar, and a mandolin. Don't feel like taking resonsibility for the change though.

[edit] Dazed and Confused

Jones did not write this bassline, this song was part of the Yardbirds live act while Jimmy Page was a member, and the song itself was a cover of an existing song. Gmip 13:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
