Why does the bass on the White Album sounds like "plek plek plek plek"
>>66146647
Superior Rick bass picking. Thumps instead of hums.
>>66146656
Yeah, that's Paul on a Richenbacher instead of a Hofner.
The White Album has a pretty raw sound compared to their other works imo. Ratty bass was one product of this, and songs like Helter Skelter and While My Guitar Gently Weeps show this really well. They were also doing a lot of plugging into the board at the time, or recording at really loud volumes (there's an anecdote of them doing yer blues in a tiny room with the amps facing the walls and mics sandwiched in between them.)
On Helter Skelter john lennon played bass on the track and used a Fender VI

yeah the fender vi contributes a lot to that rattly overdriven bass sound people think of when they think this album. everybodies got something to hide except for me and my monkey has a sick subtle bassline and a classic bass solo near the end. dear prudence bassline is great especially because anyone else would've let the bass take the backseat on a song like that, but paul makes it super funky. yer blues is blues bass but with a syncopated line instead of a walking line. but the glass onion bass tone sucks and is probably what op is talking about. also on while my guitar gently weeps if you listen to the stems they used to have on youtube, the bass line melodies are double tracked and doubled with an octave higher guitar
What's the consensus on the white album here?
>>66147875
if they had all put aside their egos and only put their absolute best songs on the lp, everyone would agree it was their best album ever
>>66147875
There isn't a single bad song on it and it's my second favorite next to rubber soul
>>66148003
Wild Honey Pie
Piggies
>>66147875

anyone notice the beatles hate has cooled a lot on /mu/ in the last four years?
>>66148197
Yeah but I always assumed it was a meme in the first place
>>66148197
you asked for it
>>66148081
I don't agree.
>>66148023

mate
>>66148197
Anybody notice the fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most
>>66148197
Sort of, but at the same time the extreme memedom of The Beach Boys that has emerged in the last couple years has created a bit of a rivalry between the two bands, in which The Beatles fans (shamefully imo) are generally overwhelmed by Beach Boys memers.

how on earth do you still find this funny?
