Nigel,
That appears to be the model. Imagine it Lefty in red and with a rosewood fingerboard. Thanks for the pictures.

The best tone Mac ever had is (to me) Yer Blues, and Helter Skelter, I love his flatwound sound.

I think Paul played a Fender Jazz bass on those two songs.

Sounds like Rics to me. both of them, I have never heard a jazz bass sound that dirty. I can get those exact sounds out of my Rics with Fender stainless flats on them with a pick.

I was also in shock when I found out it was not a Ric. From what I had read it was a '66 lefty Jazz(not the right handed one that George used) This was probably the bass on these songs.

Why? Do you guys know that for a fact?

That is the same sound as "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey" And I nailed that sound with my Ric and handmuting and a pick for a band I used to play with, that little solo part of about 5 notes that ends up on a D. The guitar player was flabbergasted. He became a Ric lover that night.
I trust my own ears more than peoples recollections of what happened in the studio anyway.
The only way I would believe that those songs were Fender Jazzes would be to have an actual studio movie of them recording that song with live audio. (a finished take, haha!)
