Happy Jack Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hofner-Violin-Bass-Signed-McCartney-Owned-Paul-Weller_W0QQitemZ130284896619QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_DVD_Film_TV_Autographs_CV?hash=item130284896619&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hofner-Violin-Bass-S...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url] It's a bog-standard early-70's Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass. Under normal circumstances he might hope to get somewhere near £1000 ... and be disappointed as it sold for maybe £650. £12,995 because some other bass players have owned it, and Paul McCartney once stood next to it?

Mind you, some Weller-head will probably have it. Edited February 1, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Didn't Damon Minchella have a big sell-off of all his gear a while ago? Seem to remember seeing him sneakily advertising an old Gretsch bass in Bass Player via a "vintage review" with a little for sale note at the end!

I have charitably yet accurately been described as looking like "a sack of sh*t tied up in the middle." But I didn't split the best band of the 80's, wear shorty beige macs, work with the ugliest keyboard player in the world and call myself "The Cappucino Kid". (Spits again, this time in an agricultural sort of way). Edited February 1, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
