I love how Paul was supposed to be tuned in Drop D but he didnt and im glad he didnt. He proved that they can make songs in just E standared. And they made ALOT of songs so imagine all the bass line he had to think of. And some are based on scales like hello good bye. Amazing!

[@drinkingmicstand]

Jake Yesca so true. This is amazing the way he just did it like it was nothing, true artist

[@dariomelconian9502]

Why is he supposed to be in drop d??

[@drinkingmicstand]

he dosnt. He could have though. Think about the variations. Wouldv'e been easier if he had a 5 string bass too

[@dariomelconian9502]

+PrankCallersUnited but why did he say he was 'supposed to' and why could he have?? I dont get it?? Because of the key of the song? I don't know.. Paul was tradition he only used 4 strings and then the fender 6 string for three songs thats all. Hes a guitarist who plays bass.

[@PlayZonechupitos]

[@B17B25guy]

Kocuhu's video transcriptions are the best I've seen. And, I have been playing bass for 40 yrs.. His 4001C64 routinely imitates those sounds (such as on Yer Blues and Glass Onion), that most believe were recorded with Paul's '66 Jazz bass. Kocuhu captures all the nuances of Macca's brilliance expertly.

one of the basslines where i cannot remember the entire piece! so i just watch here. i play bass as well, the songs you have covered that i cannot play are this piece and glass onion. you covered both beautifully! some suggestions for songs in the future: lovely rita, good morning good morning, oh darling, octopus garden, and getting better! :)

[@alaindelmotte3072]

Fantastic sound great

[@ronwilliams357]

Wow, you really got the tone on this. I have a 4001C64 with TI flatwounds and tried everything -- tube pre-amp with overdrive, and every possible tone setting -- and I couldn't get this tone. I always assumed it was maybe George on bass with the Fender VI. But this sounds like it was in fact Paul on his Rickenbacker. I'm going to buy the Korg Pandora box because of this video. Thanks!

[@shaneskavdahl3638]

It was Paul on his 1966 Fender Jazz Bass, he just got the tone really good

[@devlintaylor9520]

@@shaneskavdahl3638 and maybe he has the og bassline playing on top of his playing? because this does not sound like his rick is making those tones

[@bassmanluke]

You def need labella 760FX for this nastier tone. The Thomastiks are great but the 760FX have this tone naturally. Has to be the FX set though

[@danielm.5163]

God damn I love your tone!!!

[@novoyazov]

Amazing piece And a nice cover Thanks a lot

[@meroinheroin]

Nice! Your bass is usually the one that Paul used in the studio but this is the exception. Paul used a Fender Jazz Bass in this song ;)

[@ChurchillCigar]

The Rickenbacker was used on Rubber Soul for sure, they are photographs of McCartney playing it during the sessions. "Think For Yourself" seems to be the first with the Rick. I don't know for "Revolver" but it's clear the Rick was extensively used.

[@MrRockandRollx]

[@theyawn1889]

John Mazzella the video was mirrored lol

[@TeamMastaPr2]

"Think For Yourself" has two bass parts, the "lead guitar" part is a fuzz bass, then we have a rhythmic bass part without distortion which I think was played with the Rick. However, the following RS tunes were played with Rick: "Nowhere Man", "Michelle", "Girl", "The Word" (?)...

Yea both were the Jazz with a fuzz pedal just on Sun King I don't know what he did to make it sound so light but he does have a fuzz pedal on it.

[@MrRockandRollx]

George also doubled tracked the Fender 6 over McCartney's Rick on Back In The U.S.S.R. Something might've been done with the Hofner but i believe it was the Rick because McCartney favored using his now sanded down one on Abbey Road.

[@TheLucasrohloff]

You're really good man... I liked it... But, can you make a video covering Helter Skelter?? With the flatwound string?? It would be great!! thanks!

[@kouchugakudan]

Sometimes edit, sometimes redo. I always try to record the whole song at once, but sometimes they will be fragmented. These videos aim to trace the play of Paul McCartney. So it's hard to play the whole song without flaw.

[@ShadyForest]

SAVOY TRUFFLE!

[@kouchugakudan]

I don't know what bass Paul used. Maybe Fender.

[@FlyingDutch63]

Banzai!

[@MrRockandRollx]

I gave Something another listen. Beautiful, beautiful song by my favorite Beatle by the way, but I believe you were right it was probably;y his Hofner because there is hardly any treble in the bass.

[@TeamMastaPr2]

First viewer! Nice cover! Thank you! @kocuhu

[@helterskelter2927]

I can make my Hofner sound like a Rickenbacker. It's not that hard actually. Turn the bass and mid all the way up with overdrive on and "mute" the strings with your wrist. It doesn't sound as "aggressive" though. Edit: It's hard to play later Beatle songs if you don't have a Rickenbacker. Yer Blues is one of the songs I can play, on a Hofner. Of course, I have to improvise with my AMP, strings, tuning, palm muting, sliding, and the type of pick I use. Also, my input jack is broken and I'm missing the A string, it snapped. So I'm in a tough spot with actually LEARNING songs.

[@georgeemil3618]

Perhaps KZbin isn't the best place to do audio analysis but I listened to quite a few demonstrations trying to compare the Rickenbacker to the Hofner and I can't hear any difference. Some people claim the Hofner doesn't sustain but I don't hear anybody playing the Rickenbacker that way.

[@brampratama8973]

@@georgeemil3618 its easy to hear the difference between hofner and rick

[@kouchugakudan]

I plugged it into a BEHRINGER UCA222. All effects are made by KORG PANDORA mini. No VST plugins are used.

[@636117]

Paul used his Fender Jazz on this tune. Nice job of getting that nice "thumpy clicky" sound from the RIC. Do you have plans to add a Fender to your basses?

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

[@Romers64]

Sounds great! Enjoy your videos. What strings are you using on the Ric?

[@kouchugakudan]

Boost high frequency and distort slightly, then use rear (bridge) pickup and hit strings powerfully. But this video's sound is not perfect. I have no idea how McCartney did.

[@ChurchillCigar]

McCartney himself doesn't remember what instrument was used on what track. It's just probable, nothing more. The Rick wasn't used before the "Rubber Soul" sessions and he did use a Jazz Bass on Abbey Road and The White Album but on which song, it's hard to tell. Fender VI was also used by George and John but it's hard to be 100% sure on which song.

[@kouchugakudan]

Yes, I know. The bass line during guitar solo is good.
