1Paul McCartney - The Beatles
This is a classic playing! It is so accurate it leaves no place for another line
Although I'm more of a Lennon than McCartney fan, I have to give Paul credit for all the wonderful bass playing he's done! Go Paul!

His inventive, kinetic bass lines are hard to duplicate. he is probably the only living flamenco bassist in rock today.
