There is only one other legend that can match Macca , that has seen and done what he has done , that through the years has played to millions of people at sold out concerts all over the world , that also like Sir Paul changed the face of music and will forever be remembered and respected . That other legend is Paul McCartney's Hofner bass guitar .

i would kill for that bass guitar

@MrSteevieboy The answer is quite simple. He is 'different'. He's been given a God given talent which even he can't explain..it just 'is'. Same could be said about Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and other musical prodigies.

How the hell does Sir Paul play that riff on the bass AND sing!!!!at the same time?? mindblowing!!!

@Albert18264 that legend is John Entwistle. (even tho Macca, Ent, Decon are my fab 3 bass guitar players)

I'm sure Paul plays things differently now. He's not trying to duplicate some tape he made 40-50 years ago in a studio. As the rhythm guitarist said, they try to hit all the riffs everyone expects to hear, but even the Beatles wouldn't play the same song the same way twice, live. They'd be bored to tears.

Amazing. McCartney doesn't play the bass lines as in the original. Compare this with original footage of his bass work at the lines "I found out, and I found out".

@BANGERS68 You would have to kill Paul to get it, would it be worth it ?

@IamMagPie My guess is that the studio version was done with the Rickenbacker bass, which has better intonation in the upper register. Since he is using the Hofner--which in his words always had intonation issues in the upper registers--he tends to play lower.

[IamMagPie]

It seems to me that McCartney plays the bassline a little different here compared to the original recording from the 60s? Something he has done on other songs too. It sounds like he's playing an octave lower on some parts (eg. 00.48 - 1:00 lyrics: "She was a day tripper"). Anyone who can shed some light on this?

I'm sure they were. But written by Paul, George and John. ;o)
