    Epi EB-3 vs Epi Viola

    What flat wound gets the closest to Mccartneys Rickenbacker tone?

    I am trying to narrow down what string gets the closest to Mccartney's actual Rickenbacker tone. I use TI JF334 flats on my Rick 4003s with push pull vintage pot and can get quite close to his tone but I find there is so much confusion on what strings he actual used on his ric. Is there a better...

    Quincy Jones On Paul McCartney / Beatles

    Quincy Jones has always been pretty vocal about his opinion of The Beatles individually as “musicians” which is far less than flattering.
