this is the final boss of beatles basslines

This is what you get when you have perhaps the best creative melodicist in pop/rock as your bass player. So incredibly important for the Beatles story that Macca stepped up to play the 'uncool' bass, post-Sutcliffe.

I remember when I started playing bass years ago and would grumble seeing Paul on best bassists lists without listening to his work and assumed he was only on them because he was a Beatle. Boy was I wrong. He's absolutely brilliant. Melodic and creative. Beautiful sense of groove. He really is one of the best.
-
Sometimes we forget what an amazing bass player Paul was and is.
-
I love all the little hiccups that happen, that’s how you know they played the whole song straight through.
-
Saw McCartney in concert a few years back. It was a highlight of my life. He is a living musical legend.
-
This bassline literally makes me cry Such a masterpiece
-
Those fills he throws in (those note flurries) - where did he get that idea - thats just unheard of and genius
-
This is no joke one of the greatest baselines ever recorded
-
My life has changed after I listened to this at the first time.
-
He's having so much fun with this, especially the long outro stuff. There's McCartney and then there's everybody else.
-
I’ve always been fascinated by this bassline as a bassist. The way he composed it was just flawlessly genius. I like how some notes tend to sound flat now that I’ve heard it more clearly. Very good
-
The scales at the last build up in the song caught my attention very quickly in my first listlen. This is one of the best Paul McCartney bass lines in my opinion.
-
Chris Squire certainly learned a lot from him. Heart of the Sunrise especially, great compliment to this playing.
-
Paul should be arrested for this. This bassline is highly illegal
-
iconic bass line... genius
-
It's like Paul was just spamming what was in his in mind mid-song
-
Type O and Pete Steele based their entire career on this bass line. I say that as the biggest Type O Negative fan in existence. Amazing.
-
No one to my face has ever denied or downplayed Paul Mccartney’s bass playing abilities. But if they did this is the first video to go to. McCartney was an absolute MONSTRO. I knew he was a bass God 20 years ago when I was a kid. An absolute master of grooves and melodies.

this sounded so good i almost considered bassists to be people for a second edit: guys you will never guess what instrument i started playing like 5 months after saying this
