I think this article is quite comprehensive and describes McCartney's style as well as gear. By the way, I'm a bassist only in as much as I'm the second best guitarist in the band and have been relegated to the low end. http://www.macca-central.com/macca-archives/bassplayer.htm Chip,

I have to admit, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for in terms of reading but I am interesting in reading about him as a player. Nat, you might have a recommendation, too. Or, anyone else out there? Elliott,

Listening to him trying to remind himself which note the chorus melody starts on his illuminating. This would have worked on Milk and Honey quite nicely.

His voice sounds pretty strong in this demo, imo... and although it's wistful, it's not as melancholy as some of his other Dakota songs. "Well, he's no longer the garçon fatale" -- what a great line!
