I just finished learning the Tune "Helter Skelter" - Beatles, and just wondering if Sir Paul McCartney used his Rick to record it or not. It definitely sounds like a Ricky to me. I am certain you guys know more than me !!!

I remember reading somewhere that Sir Paul used a Jazz Bass on "Helter Skelter".

That wasn't a washtub, it was her singing (allegedly).

It was John playing bass ... I guess a Jazz? Always thought it sounded like a Rick though...

That's why Ringo screams "I've got blisters on me fingers" at the end.

Actually, Ringo's screaming because the original take of HS ran something like 20 minutes. Or, put another way, about half as long as a Carmine Appice drum solo ...

I wouldn't trade Ringo's blisters for Carmine's (wherever he had 'em)...

Dane, he had blisters on his fingers from burning them on a Roach.[he didn't have a Roach clip]
