Paul McCartney Bass Change

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but does anybody know which Beatle's studio album marks the McCartney change from Hofner to Rickenbacker?

I just want to know.

Peace

My guess would be somewhere between Sgt. Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour -- although I could be wrong.

He was definitely playing the Ric by Revolver, probably changed sometime around Rubber Soul.

I am checking into a theory that Paul's change of bass sound and place in the mix contributed to the "Paul is Dead" legend.
So, I want to see if the Rickenbacker corresponds with that change.

Boy, thanks again Alvaro! That's twice in one day.

Maybe in the future I'll just ask you directly, you seem to have research materials on everything I want to know.

Do you know who killed Kennedy?
(just kidding)

Well, according to that site, "Revolver" was the first album in which Paul recorded his Rickenbacker 4001S.

Nope! "Think For Yourself", from "Rubber Soul", is the first album track in which the Ric appears.
