Happy Jack Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 ... still didn't prepare me for this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hofner-5001-Violin-Beetle-Bass-Vintage-Paul-McCartney-/231563877904?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35ea485e10 Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I see why Sir Paul is no longer gigging with it, and it probably won't get stolen, either..! 'Relicing'..? Wrecking, more like..! Still, if it plays well (one can dream..?), it could be a lightweight 'spare' bass with an original sound..? No, I'll not be bidding on this one, thanks all the same. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 The grain of the wood goes across the width of the top rather than along the length. What's going on there - have they stripped off the top layer of a laminate? Quote
