By this time, there were no other feasible solutions to creating stronger bass sounds for McCartney, but he did not stop demanding to find one. This song allowed McCartney to experiment with his bass in another way never attempted before, expanding his dominant bass player’s masculine identity expressions which did not require any supportive technology at all. His bass was recorded as an overdub and not as part of the basic rhythm track, which was the traditional method of recording. Emerick was witness to this new event:

“With this track, Paul began the practice of recording his bass last, after all the other parts were already committed to tape. Being able to work off of all the other elements of the track – enabled him to hear the song as a whole and therefore create melodic bass lines that perfectly complemented the final arrangement. He would do those overdubs in the wee hours, long after everyone else had gone home.”

McCartney’s work ethic is seen here again, this time relying on his self-aligned dependability and empowerment to achieve his creative goal.
