This product is a dream come true. I own a bunch of guitars (Les Paul, Strat, schecter, ect). I wanted a guitar that I could throw in the car and take anywhere. Something small with a full size neck and decent sound. Something I could play during lunch in the middle of work to keep my skills up. When I first looked at travel guitars ...

Can you do "Back in the USSR" It's really difficult to pick out what the bass plays on that since I think there is also a guitar playing bass lines on that as well. But most people on YouTube seem to have it wrong.
@westfield90 As you mentioned, It's hard for me to pick out the bass sound of "Back in the USSR". I hear bass guitars are played by three persons: John, Paul, Geroge. I think I'm gonna try to choose John's part.
This has got to be one of the most minimal bass lines ever. Incredible, perfect! Any more notes would have diminished the effect. The bass part on the isn't very easy to hear, so I was never sure if I was hearing what I though was hearing. Thank you for presented it so clearly - it makes me appreciate it all the more. Get back, indeed!
@patrii9100 Yes, I painted it. But it tends to peel off. I should have sanded the edge side of the fingerboard first. I hear HCT (or CT) had no binding till 2006 and "JAPAN LIMITED HCT-500/1J-SB" in 2011. But mine was made in 2008, it has binding.
@kocuhu hello, I have a problem with my nylon strings on my bass. I have the same with you, but they seem to be unable to stay in tune, they always go1/2 step down.. Can you pleaaasee reply to me and tell me if you have had that or something?? Thanks!!!
@rvgilder I don't have such a kind of problem. Do you talk about the Hofner? Everybody knows the Hofner bass tends to be out of tune. More than that? I think if you continue using them to stretch enough, they may be stable.
@MrTmontona Do you talk about white neck binding? I painted it brown. See the above description "Hofner5.JPG". I hear HCT (or CT) had no binding till 2006 and "JAPAN LIMITED HCT-500/1J-SB" in 2011. But mine is made in 2008 so has binding.
Or do you talk about white pickguard? When I got this Hofner, that was already replaced.
Hi, Love your video's. I have 2 questions for you if you don't mind. Will the ROTOSOUND RS 88M (Black Nylon) strings fit my Hofner ICON Beatle Bass also? And what type of pait did you use to paint the white neck binding? thank you so much for posting. Wonderful playing.
A1:I don't know exactly. Maybe yes. I think you have to at least cut nut grooves because of the thickness of the strings.
A2:I used an acrylic resin paint "Creative Color Spray" by Asahipen Corporation. But it tends to peel off. This paint doesn't suit this purpose or I should have sanded binding first.

@AmigoFiell Have to disagree. there's actually a lot going on in Paul's playing. Little ghost notes, hammer ons and hammer offs. all kinds of nice littel embellishments that make it even cooler to play. BUT I do see your point. If a beginner wanted to play it he certainly could just by playing the 3 notes BUT to play it laike Paul , NO WAY.
@AmigoFiell **I hear ya. But Music doesn't have to be "complicated" to be good. Personaly I think the Bass part in this song serves it's purpose and it being a Number 1 backs me up on that. I've heard some seriously omplicated progressive Rock that sounded like SHITE. The degree of difficulity doesn't make a song good or bad and jsut because a beginner can play this isn't a knock on it's value either. But I get what you're saying. It's not Hard but I still like.
sounds like Paul is playing A to C to D I notice John is going from A to D then next line of song going from A to C paul is going from A to C back to A follwing John's cords ?
@jsteelman1000 Do you mention the chord progression? The Key is A. All chords are a major chord often with an added minor seventh. C7 appears in two sections, but previous chords are different.
great covers man! I really like your tone, I would really like to hear you covering You Never Give Me Your Money and She Came In Through the Bathroom Window
Good job. But you know that it's the easiest song to cover the bass in the whole world, don't you? I only play the guitar but sometimes I get the bass and do this only song with my band.
Did McCartney use the regular strings that his höfner came with or did he use the ones you have because I've noticed in the rooftop concert pictures that his bass strings are black?
@animepwn3r man paul changes his hofner strings for the black ones because with black ones there in no finger sound, and you can play a bass with pelctro (it was easier for him to play with it because he was left handed and he was guitarrist) today these strings are manufactured by hofner and called "Beatle strings"

Beatlesrock1966 3 months ago
@Beatlesrock1966
The distance between tailpiece and bridge of Hofner bass is longer than other short scale basses.
Even if you cut silk off, rotosound 88s are slightly short.
But thanks to the zero fret, it might be worth trying.
Please see above description, then watch "RS88M & RS88S with Hofner CT 500/1" video.

I heard it said that McCartney used black nylon strings in the rooftop concert.
But manufacturer of strings is unknown.
Anyway, Rotosound RS88M have same yellow cloths as his strings.
