    Real Love by The Beatles bassline rework/cover - Feedback?

    Was listening to this song the other day and found the bassline underwhelming, especially for Paul. Did a more white album inspired bassline on it, think it sounds ok. This might be beatles heresy but oh well. Recorded on my Rogue-VB100 through a cheap little mini amp so I can record into my...

    Switching handed-ness for a Tribute Band?

    I just went on a cruise on the Norwegian Bliss out of Seattle. There’s a Beatles tribute act with a residency onboard called The Beatles Experience. I caught 2 of their sets, and they were fantastic! Now to the matter that intrigued me the most… The first show was a small club setting, the...

    Is it really Paul playing bass on Here Comes the Sun?

    Old song, probably old question, but I couldn't find a satisfying answer anywhere. To me it never sounded like it was Paul, but all I could find online says that it was, so I was not satisfied and decided to ask real humans... lol Ok, maybe it was him, but don't y'all think that the tone and...

    Like many guys and gals I’ve seen countless photos of the Beatles performance at Shea, 1965. But until TODAY, I never noticed the Fender cabinet on stage. How can that be? I guess I was blind to everything except the Vox amps/cabs. Did anyone else miss it? For me it has been hiding in...

    It sure took a while to get it from Germany (issues were here in the US)... but it arrived today: a vintage 1960s Hoyer bass, the model 43 or "London" bass! It's a variation of the Hofner "Beatle bass" as the name suggests. Short scale (30"). I think after looking and looking, I have found the...

    Who inspired you to play bass, Paul McCartney or Paul McCartney?

    Pretty simple poll, just pick the bassist in the list who inspired you to start, you can pick any combination and pick up to 5 of the choices. Good luck and think before you choose.

    Which bass guitar most defines the sound of the 60s?

    I am going through a bit of a 60s music phase (again) and I started wondering which bass guitar most defines that sound.

    was paul mccartney’s rickenbacker bass unfinished in the early 70s?

    most of us who are beatles gear heads have heard of the story where paul, george and john heard that sanding the finish off of a guitar would make it sound better, and so of course they all did. in early 1969, after the white album, the first appearance of paul mccartney’s rickenbacker was in...
