Re: Groovy Beatles pictures
I always wondered what it would look like to see Paul with anything but his Hofner in the early days - here you have it. Excellent pics as always brammy!

I agree with the idea that it is a lighting check or something. As talented as Paul is, I dont' think he could have played a righty bass just flipped over. There are folks who play leftie instruments strung rightie, but I don't think Paul could.

That's actually how he learned to play. Paul became quite adept at using righty instruments left-handed, because the owners wouldn't let him restring the guitars.bassduke49 wrote:I agree with the idea that it is a lighting check or something.

Here's another with John on the 325/12:
Re: Groovy Beatles pictures
I dunno. If you enlarge the photo and look closely, it's either an "F7" upside down or the 325 is strung lefty and Paul is playing an open "G" chord position with a capo on the third fret...

One of my favorites from the Beatles VI, '65, #5 sessions...
