Just goes to show, a goofy bass sound in the mix can come out sounding great....! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Sounds really dead and woolly, doesn't it? But he's got a definite feel there. You can also hear the James Jamerson influences too. Talking of which, there are also Jamerson solo tracks on that site too.

acidbass Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 GREAT post! One of my favourite McCartney basslines! I never knew someone had the isolated track before, this is great listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 A lot of the Beatles stuff was recorded in dual mono so if you pan all the way to the left or right you get bass and drums on the left channel and guitar and vocals on the right etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Firstly, by isolating the bass only, you're going to lose a load of the richness in overtones, but I think the guy has done a fair job. Listening to it, that's the sound of the 60's. Guys in studios i know spend hundreds trying to recreate 'that' sound! In fact, I've tried for years. When mixed with other instruments, that is how a bass should sound! I thin Paul is a legend and I can only respect the way he goes about making music. His choice in musical accompaniests is also amazing, what a band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebo1 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lets not get into all this again! Whenever anyone takes umbrage with my views, I just shrug it off. This forum should be respectful, but lets not dress everyone in cotton wool. If you disagree, fair enough, and it's great you can say it! I've been on other forums where everyone is so boringly respectful, just completely consensus driven, you end up with the most boring forum in the world. But I've been on others where there's anarchy and people being insulted and all sorts! A comfortable middle ground should be sought. Which is pretty much what Paul McCartney's last album was! Boom Boom :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 personally for me i never got this maca as a bass 'god' thing untill i tried playing a few of his lines. nowhere man is a great line but when you play it in isolation you don't get the way it weaves through and carries the song as do many of his lines. For me his tone works in the context of the band, A friend of mine plays a thunderbird through an Ashdown amp, a combo which would bring horror to the ears of many but it actually sounds great with the rest of the band.

paul, the Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I love the "A Day In The Life" tone. A beautiful thud. As for Jamerson. That's the ultimate goal. The tone I have dreams about, the tone takes me on mystical journeys of bassy goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
