Simply put, Paul McCartney is the greatest pop bass player ever.

THINGS THAT MAKE PAUL MCCARTNEY SO RAD:

• Hofner bass
• He plays left handed
• His amazing sense of melody
• That PLUNKA PLUNKA PLUNKA sound he manages to capture.  Every bass should sound like this.
• Have you ever listened to his bass lines from Revolver up to Abbey Road?

I find myself constantly playing air bass guitar to his lines.  When I play real bass guitar, I think “How Would Paul McCartney play this?” (HWPMPT wrist bracelets coming soon!).  Heck, I even went out and plunked down all that money on Beatles Rock Band just to get the Hofner Bass guitar replica.  I also only play bass on that game.  Of course.
