All of Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, and Revolver.

Great stuff on each record, on just about every track.

 

Macca is a bass God!

 

- Hey Paul, what kind of strings do you use?

 

Paul: Long, shiny ones.

Tell Me Why (you cried)

 

Amazing walking bass .

 

Paul was years ahead of other bass players back in the 60s when that song was written.

Hmm.. never much enjoyed the beatles after their first couple of albums so for me it would be the stuff like 8 days a week.

Solid, melodic, bassey.. yes.. thats good.

Good call!

 

Here's one from left field:

 

'Old Brown Shoe'

 

I don't know anyone who likes this song (the little it gets mentioned), but I think it's great, with a bassline that carries it.

When I think of bass playing and the Beatles, I always think of hte bass in "The Ballad Of John and Yoko". It stands out and really carries the song IMO.

Wow, Paul created so many bass masterpieces.

 

But here's one from JOHN, on Bass VI. Check out the gorgeous way the Bass VI works with the piano on the Let It Be Naked version of "The Long And Winding Road."

I beliebe John played bass on that particular tune. Paul did drums and guitar.
