Paul McCartney - Another Day - Bass playalong

Another exmple of Sir Paul's melodic, wonderful basslines. It is a struggle trying to emulate that flatwound Rickenbacker sound on a Precision with rundwound strings:-D

p.s - are they flatwounds on it?

[bassowman]

@dofane Thanks! No, just worn round wounds.

Paul McCartney has been so underrated as a bass player, damn shame...he really is good!

Listen to the bass line in Taxman....

[Vorrox]

Very musically done. That's the best compliment I can think of.

[kingkeith666]

what fender p bass is that?



[Zeebits]

very similar bass with Paul McCartney's Another day, great.

This is really fucking great, I've seen a few cunts on here thinking they were good but your the dogs cock, awesome playing

@artmonkid George did'nt play the bass in Taxman track, thought he did it in rehearsal of this song, while Paul was writing the guitar solo (he plays solo guitar on the track). Sorry for my poor English, I hope you understand me.

@junito65 I agree, Paul is one of the greatest bass players, could play both virtously or plain smashed potatoes but Geroge was the one that played the bass in Taxman and Old Brown Shoe! I'm not lying.

Great job man. I love the bass. Is this the Standard or Special P?

[mattjbwj]

Wow! I just looked at this again. Your fingerwork is just beautiful. Can you try Lovely Rita? So hard for me to do. Not sure what Paul was thinking at the time, but the lines are all over the fret board. Thanks.

Great job. This song is much more complicated then some would guess. But that goes for a lot of Pauls songs, solo/Beatles, he wasn't trying to be all in the spotlight, when it came to his bass. He did his thing, but didn't showboat, in my opinion he didn't. But he really has a quality approach to every song when it comes to the bass. Even the lesser complicated ones, he doesn't make it predictable. And you played it well, and you're very nice looking :)

I love this video, so cool... n' saw it lots of times... Why? 'cause I used to play bass when was on High School, here, in Brazil...

[ironcitydevildog]

How come you don't play a Rickenbacker with the McCartney songs?
