Not a Second Time bass

Not a Second Time

Not A Second Time
The Beatles
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on the album "With The 
Beatles".

"Not A Second Time" was mainly a John Lennon composition, and their first 
song to feature a piano solo (while not their first song with a piano). The 
rest of the arrangement consists of two rhythm guitars (one acoustic and one 
electric), bass, drums and John's double-tracked lead vocal. The piano is 
played by George Martin. Paul's bass is hard to hear in places, and some 
sources even (incorrectly) claim that there's no bass guitar used in the song 
at all.
