I want this to be in the Paul McCartney best bassist section.

There is an excellent online site called,The Evolution Of Rock Bass Playing McCartney Style by Dennis Alstrand. And Stanley Clarke,Will Lee,Billy Sheehan,Sting,John Lennon and George Martin are all quoted saying what a great,melodic, influential bass player Paul always was.

Also in an interview with Wilco's John Stirratt he was asked who has had the most impact on his playing and the first thing he said was,"Paul McCartney is one of the greatest bass players of all time,if you listen to what he was tracking in the studio it's unbelievable." "With his tone and musicality he was a huge influence and he covered all of his harmonic responsibilities really well but his lines were absolutely melodic and inventive."
