That Rain vid is amazing. There's a flourish at the 30 second mark that fair took my breath away…

Too many great McCartney bass lines to pick just one, and also consider that his bass was never where it should have been in the mix until 'Rubber Soul', because the engineers didn't have the technique nor spent the time to record the bass properly.

 

Great Ones?

 

Getting Better

I Want You/She's So Heavy

Come Together

Penny Lane

Rain

Dear Prudence

 

McCartney always played great on Lennon's songs…Also he did a great part on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', fuzz bass.

I aggreee it's hard to say, which of mccartneys bass lines are the best, they are mostly awesome. My favourite ones are possibly on sgt. pepper and magical mystery tour

I like a lot of the ones that Paul should  be known for like Hey Bulldog and Taxman, but some others I thoroughly enjoy are Mean Mr. Mustard, Think For Yourself, Lovely Rita, Paperback Writer, Dear Prudence, If I Needed Someone and Help. Those commonly end up in my head one day or another. 

 

EDIT: I almost forgot I'll Cry Instead and One After 909, because of the descending bass part.

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping~.

I like all of his "bass" stuff. I wished George allowed him to play the bass more complex than the one in the released version of Something. I Saw Her Standing There sounds extremely nice but is actually simple bass notes borrowed from Chuck Berry. Abbey Road and SPLHCB tracks are the real deal. 

I wanna buy a Hofner Guitar and play the bass just like him.
