Paul is a bass god, but I fear that he's sometimes under appreciated for that aspect, because he didn't play with chopps. His bass philosophy was so far advanced from any rock and roll bassist I've ever heard, before or since. One thing you will never hear in a Beatles song is Paul thumping the root. Root thumping is sacrilegious, IMO, but why is it so tolerated? Bass lines should be composed just like melodies and lyrics, not some afterthought to give some crappy pop song a little more low end. I could go on for hours, but I know I'm preaching to the choir.
