awesome video man!

[DryeLint]

Oh no, it's the evil "thumb over the top of the neck" hold they taught me about! EVIL! PURE EVIL! BACK YOU HEATHEN!

[takeyazable]

@DryeLint Unfortunately, McCartney is a heathen as well.

[sclongisawesome]

Kocuhu, how much did that Ric cost? Thanks

[kocuhu]

@sclongisawesome My Rickenbacker 4001 is odd enough because it is built of C64 body and V63 pickups. I bought it at about $1500.

[sclongisawesome]

@kocuhu That was a steal! Wish I could get one like that!

[cjorata]

What equalization and compressor settings are you using to obtain this sound ? I also own a rickenbacker but i'm still far to obtain your tone.

[kocuhu]

@cjorata See the above description "Paperbackwriter-EQ.png" and "Paperbackwriter-COMP.png". Sorry it's Japanese.

[ArtistsOnlyMusic]

I'm a Fan of Kocuhu.

Thank you from New York.

[XxH3LLsB3LLsxX]

What pick do you use?

[kocuhu]

@XxH3LLsB3LLsxX I prefer common fat triangle shape such as Fender 346, and heavy gauge.

[TheBeatlesbassman]

So on this one did you use a virtual amp and then equalize sound?

[kocuhu]

@TheBeatlesbassman Yes. And I also used a compressor.

[colskee]

Yeah!!!

[Swordmasteryful]

Oh!  Nevermind I found itz :D

[Swordmasteryful]

Dangit! New youtube stinks! I can't find the subscribe button.. -.-

[mrponchocanela]

you learn the song by ear

[ZombiesFan95]

That bass is so beautiful... I want one! With my luck, someone will probably steal it.

[L3Gutierrez]

This is one of those songs where you think "how the hell did he even come up with that bass line?!"

[Stratau]

Would be great to see you play "whats the Buzz" from Jesus Christ Superstar.

[Stratau]

Fantastic..really great to see..

[FortlinRoad]

Brilliant!!! GREAT JOB!

[MagicalMysteryTube]

Great sound. Great playing. Great eye-candy! Suh-WEET!

[xILambyIx]

...Paul?

[TheKenfig]

For these vids to be effective you have to make the volume a bit louder than the backing track ; it's not standing out enough even though I'm sure it's good

[PapaKyleT]

Nice job and cool video work.

[vaughntrapp]

does your ric have a horseshoe pickup on the bridge?

[kocuhu]

@vaughntrapp Yes. But unlike 1960's, it is not magnetized.

[Northeagle66]

I love this cover. The visual presentation and the sound is great. Good job!

[3dogdog]

Nice job buddy ! I am a Paul McCartney in a major U.S. tribue show.

[Mikelawyr2]

OMFG this and Rain note for note you are a genius!!!!!

[alexisescobar1974]

Quite nice sound!!!! ;) Congrats! 

[patrii9100]

Paperback writer touched on bass Rickenbacker Hofner not, like, really good.

[gt8gtrman]

Round or flat wound strings??

[kocuhu]

@gt8gtrman Flat wound strings. LaBella 760FX.

[hofnerbass24]

one more question... what kind of amp do you use, i just really like the sound you have

[kocuhu]

@hofnerbass24

In this case, I didn't use an amp such as Fender Bassman. I plugged the bass in ZOOM B2.1u Phone-Jack directly.Then I used free VST plugins to compress or equalize sound. I can't remember details.

[hofnerbass24]

Do u like the thomastik ifeld bass strings, or do u prefer the labella

[kocuhu]

@hofnerbass24

Though I'm interested in the thomastik, I have never used other strings but the labella.

I am satisfied with the labella so far.

[kocuhu]

@TeamMastaPr2

I heard that Paul got Rickenbacker in August, 1965, and began to use on the Rubber Soul sessions.

[TeamMastaPr2]

@kocuhu Maybe, I haven't seen him with the Rickenbacker before 1967 - he used the Hofner live (while John and George used other guitars than they used before on their performances) until they stopped touring. I can't tell which bass he recorded with.

[tinseth7]

@kocuhu the music vidio for paperback writer paul used the hofner

[FishingForLobster]

@tinseth7 McCartney always used the Hofner on stage because it is lightweight and easier to move with. The Rickenbacker was almost exclusively used in the studio in a seated position.

[beatlefan247]

@TeamMastaPr2 nah. he got his rickenbacker in 65. used it for this and the rubber soul and that. used it until 1968 and used a jazz bass and the rick with the hofner. then up to let it be he used the hofner then stayed with the rick for wings

[jpdel31]

please, would you play rain too, thanks. p.s.: congratulations, great bass line

[KabaHiroshi]

You got a nice distortion!

[DewittDude989]

Your making me jealous with that bass!

[paulbass19]

Which is better, the zoom r16 or the ZOOM B2.1u?

[kocuhu]

@paulbass19

As a USB audio interface, the performance of R16 is higher.

R16:24bit, 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz

B2.1u:16bit, 32/44.1/48kHz

But if you use B2.1u, you can record the sound with effects suitable for bass.

So I prefer B2.1u in this situation.

Anyway R16 is also the great gadget.

[GralGrievous]

Awesome!!! great cover, keep the videos coming!!!!

[lptomtom]

Great video! This gets better and better!
