Any reliable source confirming Macca plays bass here?
I read many times George saying he played it, but his memory seems to fail most of the times [:D]

Lewisohn states clearly on page 173 of his recording sessions book that "The song's highly distinctive and impressive bass sound was actuallly a fine combination of matching lead guitar and bass guitar notes played by George and Paul (respectively).

Although the basspart WAS played by paul, it was probobly written by George since the bass part is very noticable on Georges own Demoversion (Anthologhy 3).
I don´t think the other Beatles played on the demo.

I have not heard the song in probably 15 years, as the past masters v2 stuff gets ignored by me, unfairly. I dont know if the final version has drums or not, but the book said the demo did not. Thank You SIR. :lol:

you´re right. the demo does not contain drums but the Beatleversion does. Too bad that you ignore past master vol 2. Such a great collection.
