The rocker was an unknown teenager when he bought his first Hofner 500/1 for £30 in Hamburg in 1961, and he used it to record some of the Fab Four’s biggest hits
Sir Paul McCartney is so desperate to have back the lost bass he played on She Loves You that he’s asked its makers to find it for him.
Executive Nick Wass said: “I’ve worked closely with Paul’s team over the years, and when I’ve met Paul, we’ve talked about his first Hofner bass and where it could be today. Paul said to me, ‘Hey, because you’re from Hofner, couldn’t you help find my bass?’ And that’s what sparked this great hunt. Sitting there, seeing what the lost bass means to Paul, I was determined to solve the mystery.”
