Chienmortbb Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Apparently nicked from a van parked in Notting Hill in 1972. It was outside a squat and one of the squatters took it, but when he realised how "hot" it was given it to the pub landlord for safe keeping.

AMV001 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Gives me some hope, that's for sure. Although McCartney has a slightly higher profile than me (and considerably more resources too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 There's quite a lot of detail about how it was found and the state of the bass here: https://www.debassist.nl/muzieknieuws/artikel/2-29077/paul-mccartneys-first-hfner-is-back?fbclid=IwAR2zFoM5u-eKYQaIErdIhaLsDu8ryKT4MPo9mJTogDQd0DGzsVVhj60494U 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 00Soul Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 That's something I never thought would happen, at least in Paul's lifetime! So much for his theory that it was in an alpine schloss mounted on the wall of a safe room where some Bond-villain locks himself in with a snifter of cognac to look at it. It was very much the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I read that the lady who gave up the bass is now expecting compensation, even though her dad nicked it! Edited February 19 by acidbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbanbass Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I can’t take any credit for this but it did make me chuckle and I thought it was rude not to share 😆 Edited February 19 by danbanbass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
