Did Paul really use an EB-0F to record Mr. Mustard?

I don't know, but the sound is pretty muddy. One of my least favorite Macca bass sounds.

That has fuzz bass on it too. I think that was the RIC, or at least thats what I've heard. I am pretty sure the fuzz is what muddies up the sound so much.

Yeah, there is definitely fuzz bass on that song but I doubt its a Gibson bass. I always figured it was his Rick, too.

Could be the Jazz Bass with the fuzz on.

Don't know about the bass. 'Always thought it was the Ricky, too!

Great example of a simple bass line that is deceptively hard to play and extremely clever though!
