Paul McCartney’s long-lost Höfner bass – labeled “the most important bass guitar in history” for its role in the Fab Four’s formative hits – has been found over 50 years after it first went missing.
The bass – which was used on early singles including Love Me Do and She Loves You – was initially believed to have been lost in January 1969 during the recording of the Get Back/Let It Be sessions chronicled in Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary. However, during investigations spearheaded by the Lost Bass Project, it’s now known to have been stolen three years later.
