[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]Yeah I love the song because I want to leave my home in Bristol Connecticut for some California grass someday.[/QUOTE]


Sounds like a plan


I have recently been awed by the bassline to "And Your Bird Can Sing"

MalcolmYoungRock 04-18-2005 04:39 PM

/me lives on California grass

:cool:

At first I thought it said

"Boston, California"

I was like "WTF?"

I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge paul McCartney fan. And i looooove bass. When i have one of my beatles albums in my CD player i always have the Bass Boost on all the way up. In my opinion here is some of his finest work on Bass.

-You Wont See Me
-And Your Bird Can Sing
-Oh! Darling
-Maxwells Silver Hammer
-Ob la Di Ob la Da
-Why dont we do it in the Road? (Did they overdub him playing that bass part, or was it john or george?)
-Your Mother Should Know
-Penny Lane
-Let it be
-Dear Prudence
-And Doctor Robert

George harrison (haha) Do you play bass?

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]George harrison (haha) Do you play bass?[/QUOTE]

I thought George played the solo?

Walrus Gumboot 04-18-2005 05:02 PM

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]I thought George played the solo?[/QUOTE]


Me too, I think there is photographic evidence

It's so confusing that his name is also someone else's real name. It is as if my screenname were Suzie McKenna or something

GeorgeHarrison 04-18-2005 05:08 PM

Yeh i do play bass. And i love it. Paul McCartney was the reason i started playing. (With some outside influence from Roger Waters)

Me too :D

McCartney would have to be my favorite bassist

Wouldn't you kill for one of those sweet Hofner violin basses?

MalcolmYoungRock 04-18-2005 05:15 PM

My friend has a Rouge violin bass that looks just like it.

That would be my Runner up in my all time favorite basses.

I would Much rather Have an Extremly nice Rickenbaker basses. (Like the one he played during All the Magical mystery tour videos) But a Rickenbaker bass cost like $1,500. Ouuuuuuuuchies.

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:06 PM

I dont play bass (but i do come up with basslines on my guitar) but i am saving up for a:
-Banjo
- Violin bodied bass (like Pauls)
- and that funky (Ibanez is it?) white guitar John uses on the roof top.

It's not an Ibanez, I don't think they had Ibanez's in the 60's.

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:24 PM

k cheers, well ibanez makes a similar model atm.

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:24 PM

Epiphone i think it is.

MalcolmYoungRock 04-18-2005 07:26 PM

It's not epiphone either haha.

I think it might be a Grescth(sp?)

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:31 PM

lol, hmmmm i'll google all of them.

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:32 PM

when i said epiphone i ment Ibanez Epiphone.

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:36 PM

I think its a "White Falcon Gretsch" or maybe a Hofner?

MalcolmYoungRock 04-18-2005 07:36 PM

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]when i said epiphone i ment Ibanez Epiphone.[/QUOTE]

Ibanez doesn't make Epiphones :lol:

You must mean Artstars or Artcores?

Sgt._Joker 04-18-2005 07:36 PM

Tripple post :O

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]I think its a "White Falcon Gretsch" or maybe a Hofner?[/QUOTE]

It might be Hofner.

It also might be a White Falcon.

Whatever it is, it's cool.

John Lennon 04-18-2005 07:42 PM

I own [URL=http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/481/481.htm]this[/URL] since 1977. :D

Wowzers, you lucky devil.

xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx 04-18-2005 08:37 PM

Well, I've missed a lot, I think, but I've read the last few pages, and I guess all I can say is that McCartney's violin bass is awesome and so is Lennon's Rickenbacker.
