I'll try to keep my Beatles fanboy bias out of this, but as a bassist myself, I think McCartney is one of the greatest bassists ever. He never overplays, yet his basslines are incredibly intricate... every bassist wishes they could write basslines as perfect as his... change one note and the whole song is destroyed. He has quite a unique style and his tone is lovely.
