Paul McCartney's Left-Handed Bass Playing: Did You Know?

[Keith_]

Did you know Paul McCartney played bass left-handed because he was naturally left-handed, but found it easier to mimic the movements of right-handed guitarists by flipping the instrument? I always thought it was so cool how he made it work for him. Anyone else have interesting facts about McCartney's unique approach to bass playing?

Whoa, I never knew that! Guess that explains why he hangs the bass so low. Always wondered about that lefty playing a righty instrument. Did he have any famous lefty basses later in his career?
