Favorite McCartney Rickenbacker Moment

[weemac]

The little riff at the start of 'Penny Lane.'

My favorite too, it rings out so clearly that bit....

Eden.

I hate to do this, but I think it's a Fender Jazz Bass on the Band On The Run album.

How about on "Wings Over America"? Then everybody wins.

That was one of about a dozen records that I had when I was 10, and the bass sounds nice and out front on that version.

If that was overdubbed with a jazz bass, it doesn't matter. I'm not changing.

All the bass in the 'Rockshow' film, which I still cannot find on DVD; just like 'Let It Be'. What's up with that?

I got an email from the Macca scrambled eggs -- Rockshow out on DVD June 11th.

I think it's my dreamed Rickenbacker bass sound and playing style.

Beatles- Rain

When he played in Seattle 1976,I was 15 and 38 years later it's still the best concert ever.

My top two would be "Another Day" (sounds like the Ric) and "Hey Bulldog." All of Sgt Peppers.

Quite a lot of details on McCartney's basses (years, sessions and some songs too) on the new book PAUL McCARTNEY. RECORDING SESSIONS (1969-2013). You can find it on Amazon Europe.
And "Another Day" it's great...and it's the Ric. Another great Ric moments all over the RAM album.

John on the Bass VI.

Are you sure? I always thought John was on piano and Paul had the bass on this. The playing is far more confident and inventive than one would expect of John.

I'm listening to Sgt. Pepper now, side A. How could I have picked Fixing a Hole when Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite has epic bass playing on it. That bass is so tasteful, inventive, and he's rocking to that calliope music. The bass just plays for that song, no matter what it had to do.
