~ I don’t remember the part about George on bass but in “Here There And Everywhere”, engineer Emerick stated that “Sir” did indeed do the lead part. In fact, according to Geoff, Paul was his favorite one to work with and had made a point of connecting with recording shop personnel while the others came about it in varying degrees. The room was set in a real “hippy-Indian” vibe for doing “Within You And Without You”. George was the only group guy in, with the Indian musicians that were hired to help with the song. He had full control and was in his element in contrast to being his usual “second stringer” player.
Quote marks mine.
The best piece on the group I have read to date. If you are a fan, buy the book. His account of that whole experience from their very first session to the gap during the rancorous sessions of the “White Album” where he left the studio and then returned for “Abbey Road” is most colorfully descriptive. You are practically there when reading his words on the events of those years.
