Also, when notes are being &#8220;slid up&#8221; to, the sound of going fret-to-fret is also heard, confirming this was played on a fretted bass and not a fretless. And the fact you barely hear any string drag strongly suggests that flatwound strings were used.<\/p>\n<p>While this certainly isn&#8217;t a difficult song by any means, the tone of the recorded bass has good punch and definition to it. You will especially hear this at the 3-minute mark of the song. It&#8217;s a very strong, punchy, thumpy tone that any bass player can appreciate.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking to get a tone like this out of your bass?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ask us by emailing <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:sales@bestbassgear.com\"><strong>sales@bestbassgear.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> We can help you get that dream Beatles bass tone you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Prudence is a song recorded in August 1968 and released that same year in November.
