I'm assuming it was laid down by Paul (I'm too lazy right now to check
it out), but Man Oh Man, what a heavy bass line in 'Glass Onion'!!

Sounds like Paul is using a rock chip for a pick over 8-guage wire.  I
must admit, I haven't heard a heavier bass line from that era and right
after (namely Sabbath, Zeppelin, or Who).

Nowadays, due to advances in recording processes it is easily possible
to make a bass line heavy -- but for 1968, that was pretty darn
impressive!!
