A major campaign has been launched to find a missing musical “treasure” more than half a century ago: a bass guitar that Paul McCartney bought from Hamburg, Germany, in 1961 and on which he played some of the Beatles’ most successful songs.
Paul McCartney bought this instrument for £30 ($38 at the current exchange rate) in Hamburg, Germany in 1961. Its tune can be heard in such famous songs as “Love Me Do” and “She Loves You.” (“She Loves You”) and “Twist and Shout”.
McCartney also played it in concerts in Hamburg and Liverpool, and during the first recordings at Abbey Road, the legendary studio in London.
But the guitar disappeared in January 1969, while the Beatles were in London recording the song “Get Back”.
Nick Wass of Hofner, the bass guitar brand, and journalists Scott and Naomi Jones launched The Lost Bass project, hoping to find the instrument and solve what they call their “biggest problem”. A Mystery in the History of Rock and Roll”.
