The Greatest Beatles Bass Lines Vol. 6 (“Penny Lane”)

[jameschambers]

What a great bass line! Every note is supporting the melody and is not wasted on showmanship, technique or the attempt to be cool. It’s just solid playing by someone who understands music. This will always stand the test of time.

One of the distinctive Beatles sounds☺️the creative musical genius of Paul McCartney👍

The penny lane bassline sounds like the bridge in a Wonderful Christmastime

Paul’s playing really doesn’t get the credit it deserves. When people list all-time greats, they think of Chris Squire and John Entwhistle and Les Claypool and Geddy Lee, and McCartney is like an afterthought. But he was and is a legend for a reason.

[Ednerd]

cool. I always wondered about those first few notes. they sounded like Bass Harmonics, but I guess not. :)

Hate when the remaster releases push the bass back

This song started the conspiracy theory that McCartney was dead in 1966

Overrated band, overrated bass playing.
