Two (very) different Beatles songs in one single video

Hey! I got my Höfner Ignition (a.k.a. Icon) bass like four months ago, but didn't take the time to record a video with it. So, here it is. I must say that I would have never thought of buying one of these, but rehearsing with a Beatles tribute band made me do it. Also must say that I would have never thought that I was going to enjoy this little bass so much. It's actually a very cool instrument! Just make sure to replace the stock roundwound strings with a set of flatwounds if you want to take a shot at Sir Paul's basslines.
This bass is very versatile, so that's why I decided to record two different songs for you to hear some of the tonal capabilities of the instrument. The first one is pure neck pickup, while for the second one the bass has both pickups on. Hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching! :^)

Everybody thinks bass are a lot easier to play than guitar but they are both about the same difficulty in different ways.

Yeah! I remember learning and playing this one in one of my first bands Still one hot song and bass line too

Este video me termino de comprobar que Paul McCartney debe ser considerado tan buen bajista como compositor y musico en general que es....Tenia demasiado gusto al momento de inventarse y ejecutar basslines....Felicitaciones maestro...seria bueno verlo en vivo con el tributo...

hi again . another question: do you think it would be better to buy a hard case orr just a gig bag ?
misternoodle13 1 month ago
@misternoodle13: Mine came with a hard case shaped lke the instrument. I usually don't like to carry hard cases, but I have no problems with this one (I think it's because of the bass' light weight).

Good job!
Do you use flatwound strings and effector?
tortoise123456 2 months ago
@tortoise123456: Thank you for your comment! The bass has flatwound strings installed, but no effects of any kind in the recording.

Nice sound! Palm muting?

@odysseios: Exactly. A key component of McCartney's tone. Thank you for your comment! :^)
