@@timchadwick1220 So she says. But Brian didn't end up using a lot of her tracks - e.g. on "Good Vibrations". On further research, it turns out that Ray Pohlman, another member of the Wrecking Crew, played the electric bass on "Here Today" on Pet Sounds. The picked, muted slides it features were probably inspired by Bill Wyman's runs on "19the Nervous Breakdown". But I'm pretty sure that Brian, especially as the original bass player in the Beach Boys, would have told Carol or Ray or whomever exactly what to play.

What is amazing about this bassline is ok John comes up with the basic guitar riff and idea BUT Paul came with this ingenious bassline that went perfectly with John’s and George’s guitars playing thus their participation. Not forgetting Ringo that made the drum track that predicted the way the others would play their parts. Paul though would have made those octave falls that he could obviously hear in his mind whilst composing this masterpiece 😎

@nursewhitebeard4263 8 ай бұрын

Abbey Road is Macca’s most complete work… his lines are melodic, creative and serve the songs so well… and his sound was big… like nothing I’d heard at the time… I know there were contemporaries of his who were also really pushing new melodic directions on bass (eg James Jamerson) and the influenced each other… but Abbey Road was it for me… and I heard that Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) was heavily inspired by the sound Paul got in that album… interesting… He may not be the best, but Paul has probably been the most influential bassist in rock/pop music! 😊

@@you_tubeslonelyheartsclubband The Rick Resource Forum has an ancient thread from 2002 from a Mark Arnquist, former RIC employee, who stated he worked on Paul's 4001S, and that indeed the cobalt magnets were stone dead, and that they had just shut down manufacture of that pickup. Thay had to punt and shoehorn a Hi-Gain into that space. Shortly after the White Album's release, Paul had his Rick back in time for Abbey Road. I do also understand that "Think for Yourself" may be the only use of the bridge pickup. It sounds like that with no effects.
