Memory says....

Pauls' 1st instrument: The trumpet. Paul didn't like it because he realized he couldn't sing and play at the same time.

Paul became the bass player because John and George refused to do it.

Just a point on The Ventures vs The Shadows, Both formed in 1958; however, the Shadows started life as a 4 piece backing band but The Ventures started as a duo not becoming a true 4 piece till the 60's. A possible reason The Shadows didn't get the acclaim in the US in those early days is maybe cos they were marketed as a Surf Band, which they weren't really. The Ventures have a very interesting website which has loads of trivia, in particular they outsold the beatles 2 - 1 in Japan, good going!
