FDP Forum / Fender Bass Guitars and Bass Amps / Lovely Rita isolated Macca bass track

digiboy New York City	Jul 30th, 2012 12:29 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Followed Bass-flyer's "no Treble" link in the Jamerson bass amp thread and found this amazing track of Sir Paul isolated on bass for the Sgt. Pepper track of Lovely Rita. Fascinating stuff. I recall reading somewhere that on the later Beatles sessions Paul often laid the bass track down last. This was a definite advantage giving him the ability to build an inventive bass line around what was already recorded. Of course with this method you give up some spontaneity with the other players but it certainly worked well for him! Rita bass

Geoff Emerick’s “Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles” (2007) contains a lot of interesting insights on the recording of Paul’s bass parts.

Chris-K MD, USA	Jul 31st, 2012 04:18 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic "He does have great bass lines but I hate that dull thud from his bass (Hoffner I presume)." It's a Ric. His "dull thud" sounds awful in isolation, but when mixed with other instruments, it sounds brilliant.

Danny Nader usa You should have been there!	Jul 31st, 2012 06:11 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Ricks can be a one trick pony when used in a limited fashion. But they are a two pickup, long scale bass. Can be quite versatile if you use them properly like any other bass. Danny (This message was last edited by Danny Nader at 06:12 PM, Jul 31st, 2012)

That can be said of any bass, but Ricks seem to get the most bashing, especially, at that other forum, you know? It is amazing how many sounds one can get out of one pony. :) (This message was last edited by Jeff Scott at 06:46 PM, Jul 31st, 2012)

Danny Nader usa You should have been there!	Aug 1st, 2012 01:02 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic A similar argument / debate could be made for a Precision.

ConchoBill Contributing Member ****** Universe of Tejas Bluz Cowboy	Sep 10th, 2012 02:12 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic McCartney's playing on Pepper made me want to play bass. Some people might criticise Pepper in that the main musician on that record was Paul.
paterno383 USA Nothing Happens Next	Sep 18th, 2012 10:40 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic His playing has such musicality, flair, and joy in it on a track like this. Hard to put a finger on it, but it's there. I can play Lovely Rita note for note, but I might as well be a robot compared to him.
