Supposedly. Seems to be a lot of controversy here. Apparently there is some support for this in MarK Lewisohn's book which I read about 20 years ago.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euiX9vr7CKQ" title="She's So Heavy" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euiX9vr7CKQ</a><br />buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-70016691323417679652015-12-10T18:12:46.574-08:002015-12-10T18:12:46.574-08:00I didn't realize that was a bass on the Frost ...I didn't realize that was a bass on the Frost clip, but you're right. Thanks. I know John played bass on some "Let It Be" footage, but I don't think it was deliberate sabotage, just ineptitude, and lack of engagement.

John & George both play the VI in the Let it be sessions. Indeed, I think Ian MacDonald in 'Revolution in the head' criticises John for 'sabotaging' some of Paul's songs by playing lousy out of tune (more 'wrong notes' ) bass (on the VI) with those Lennon-played bass tracks being part of 'the finished product'. Possibly the track in question is 'The Long and Winding road' (well hidden in the original version under Spector's add-ons, more obvious (but not 'lousy', just basic) on the 'Let it be Naked' version.<br /><br />Jim<br /><br />(who also posted the 'It's Macca on bass' comment above).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-64488363897260158532015-12-10T14:03:55.449-08:002015-12-10T14:03:55.449-08:00Paul didn't play the Hofner much after 1966.

They were supposed to end up playing some live dates. <br /><br />I don't think George ever played bass in the Beatles.<br /><br />The recording in question is definitely the tracks appearing on "Abbey Road". I know this music like the back of my hand.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-4103040392998005352015-12-10T11:50:34.110-08:002015-12-10T11:50:34.110-08:00It's Macca on bass.

The Rick seems to get far more of a workout in the studio, longer neck, a rolling tone, than we sometimes imagine, the Hofner being the one we associate with Macca. My money is on the Rick being used on 'She's so heavy'.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-14430629431987061682015-12-10T10:28:21.269-08:002015-12-10T10:28:21.269-08:00I don't think John or George were capable enou...I don't think John or George were capable enough to play that line.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-8468749471368110442015-12-10T10:25:53.508-08:002015-12-10T10:25:53.508-08:00Don't think it was Paul on Bass.

I'm pretty sure I've heard a version with Paul's vocal throughout. <br />After this John and George overdubbed so many guitars the tape hiss sounds like wind, and then the tape runs out.<br />During the "Let It Be" sessions Paul sang a take of "I'm So Tired", which he's said he did to engage John in the proceedings, who was distracted by Yoko and heroin.<br /><br />Here are the basic tracks for sgt pepper. Track two of four. <br /><br /><a href="http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/sgt_pepper_multi-track_2.mp3" title="sgt_pepper_multi-track_2" rel="nofollow">http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/sgt_pepper_multi-track_2.mp3</a><br />buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
