Marc S Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Just came across this Youtube video, re Paul's original Hofner Violin bass. I found it quite interesting, and was just wondering whether someone, somewhere has unknowingly got it in their attic? EDIT: I was unaware of the whole back-story / theories Edited April 11, 2023 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Thomann has it, hurry up it's quite cheap: https://www.thomann.de/gb/hoefner_h500_1_61_0_cavern_bass_left.htm They even say it's the original one. 🤔😂🤪 That said, the guy should stop showing the wrong bass in permanence: The 61 model has 2 neck pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the only reason I spotted it was my Better Half had the TV on, so I waa watching the vid with the volume off and the subtitles on. Just a happy accident really! 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
