Does anyone know who played bass on the Beatles recording of “The Ballad of John & Yoko”? (Hi Pat - Bill).
Paul and John were the only Beatles involved, so it’s probably Paul.
My understanding is: Paul on bass and drums, John on guitars.
It had to be Paul, John’s bass playing (heard on “The Long and Winding Road”) was rather sloppy.
…by the way, I forgot about this site, which should answer all such questions.
