Paul McCartney’s Stolen Bass Guitar Found 50 Years Later
Paul McCartney has been reunited with his bass guitar, which was stolen decades ago, thanks to the “Help!” of passionate Beatles fans. The legendary musician announced on his website on Wednesday that his famous Höfner electric bass guitar, which had been reported lost or stolen more than 50 years prior, had been located and given back to him.
The news was released several months after a group of enthusiasts started The Lost Bass Project in an effort to locate the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was lost sometime after 1969 and is regarded as one of the “most important bass in history.”
The instrument was discovered with its original case, according to a statement on The Lost Pass Project’s website, and it will soon be playable again following a few small repairs.
The trio, which included television producer Naomi Jones, former BBC journalist Scott Jones, and former Höfner GmbH marketing manager Nick Wass, also described how they discovered the bass after receiving “over 100 leads” the previous year.
They said that learning that the Höfner had been taken from a van in London in October 1972 was “the breakthrough [they] needed.” The devoted followers then learned that the robber had sold it to the London Admiral Blake pub’s proprietor and disappeared.
