Paul's Bass Playing
-
I'm surprised on one has mentioned Drive My Car. The bass dominates the song, IMO

And another track on "Rubber Soul," "The Word"!

His bass playing is always nice, beautiful, pleasant and enjoyable.

Earlier I was trying to think of Paul's songs that best exemplified his superior bass playing. There were a few that came to mind (Let Me Roll It, Come Together). I thought it would be a good topic. What are his best bass playing songs? In terms of difficulty & creativity. Also I remember reading somewhere in an interview about one of the Beatles songs that he wrote a very difficult bass line for. He never intended to play it live so he made it very intricate. What was it?
"Silly Love Songs" or anything off the DR record.

"Rain"

Dear Prudence and Yer Blues on the White Album both have fantastic bass parts!

My favorite bass player, by far. Second place for Chris Squire, and finally, John Deacon. Come Together's bass line is the 70% of the song. Think in that song without his amazing bass... it becomes a regular song. Is curious, most of his best bass lines are from songs written by another artists... I mean Come Together, Something, Hey Bulldog, Time To Hide, Don't Let Me Down, Medicine Jar, Spirits of Ancient Egypt, and course a lot of his own songs... Silly Love Songs, Mrs. Vanderbilt, Let Me Roll It..
