Beatles Bass Tone

Inspired
NOTE: Do not bypass the compressor block. I'm hitting it with some serious volume to get the tube compressor to give 15-20db of gain reduction.

I spent some time trying to get a Paul McCartney bass tone today. Maybe some of you could use it. FW 20
The physical changes I made were: Put a piece of foam under the strings at the bridge to dampen the notes, Use a pick, Pluck at the neck, Use both bridge and neck pickups with a flat eq (i tried to simulate a rolled off treble pot with a PEQ block).

One thing to consider is my bass is very far from a Hofner. A Lakland Skyline 35 inch scale bass with a Jazz and Musicman pickup.
