Paul McCartney and John Paul Jones reshaped the role of bass in rock, but in entirely different ways. McCartney took the Beatles’ songs and gave the bass a leading voice, turning it into a melodic storyteller that danced with the vocals rather than hiding in the background. His inventive lines on tracks like Something and Paperback Writer changed what people thought the bass could do in pop and rock. John Paul Jones anchored Led Zeppelin with unmatched versatility, weaving subtle grooves, thundering runs, and even keyboard mastery into the band’s sound. His range gave Zeppelin the depth and flexibility to explore blues, folk, and hard rock at the highest level. Both were innovators, but the question remains whether the melodic revolution of McCartney or the thunderous foundation of Jones had the bigger impact on rock history.
