Everyone knows that Paul McCartney is one of the world's great bass players. Nowadays you only see him playing his iconic Hofner bass, but a look into his career reveals that he played several other types of basses that each sound quite different. We discuss Paul's five most used basses and play musical examples of each, touching on the Hofner, the Rickenbacker, and others. We hope you listen closely not only to the amazing bass playing, but the different sounds Paul gets from each instrument!
