A few more I've always loved:

O Darling

Obla Di, Obla Da (Simple, yet very catchy!)
I Want You (She's So Heavy) (^ Same as above)
Entire Beatles albums and half of Wings singles should cover it then

Long and Winding Road isn't actually a Macca bassline, it's actually John Lennon on a Fender VI.

What a concert! Sir Paul was impressive last night. 3 hours non stop, including the vocally challenging Helter Skelter towards the end. Don't know how he does it! Amazing show that I can now cross off my bucket list. I'll never forgot this one!

Quite impossible to choose the best 3... but my CURRENT top 3 (i mean: the ones that in the last few days i took real notice) are:

Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite
Picasso's Last Words
Lovely Rita

My favorites are:
1. Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite
2. Free As A Bird
3. Think For Yourself

I'll also agree that it's very difficult to pick only three, I have a ton of favorites lol. Love to play them on my Rogue VB100

It's a six-string short-scale bass/guitar. Typically tuned like an eadg bass but with two higher strings.

Hmmm. I think I'll have try one of those out.
Could it replace a real bass guitar for a whole
gig? Probably lighter than my 8.5 pound beast.

Baby You're a Rich Man, Dear Prudence and also See Your Sunshine from Memory Almost Full.

Also, pretty sure George played bass on Oh Darling.

It could. Jack Bruce used to play one in Cream:
