Jazz is fucking nuts but I'm not talking Jazz

 

[Comrade Khan]

I know you love the Beatles but I don't fine their bassline to be anything extraordinary or imaginative myself. I'll keep a closer ear out next time I listen to them

 

[Barry Poppins]

Paul's basslines are pretty iconic tho lol in how understated they are but just how *funky* they are

 

[Comrade Khan]

my favorite rock bassist is Steve Harris

 

[Comrade Khan]

absolute g

I highly suggest giving Lady Madonna, Hey Bulldog, And Your Bird Can Sing, Rain, and Come Together for an idea of Paul's understated but perfect bass playing

 

[Barry Poppins]

Paul doesn't play "crazy" bass lines, but what do does do is make bass lines that are just perfect and give every song that extra oomph.

 

[Comrade Khan]

will do

You do kinda have to listen for it but I'd say those songs Grim named are good examples, and once you hear it, you'll notice it every time lol there's just a lot more going on usually too

 

[Comrade Khan]

oh I guess Geddy Lee is ok

gonna need dem headphones me think

 

[Barry Poppins]

It's also probably fair to put it into the perspective of 1960s music in that these kinds of bass-lines were extremely inventive in the lens that Paul was originally a guitar player, so he never really unlearned how to do that.

 

[Comrade Khan]

old beatles so twangy on speakers sometimes

 

[Barry Poppins]

Oh yeah, and Something is also a perfect example
