Back to the topic at hand, this is a 66 Hofner however there is only one picture and as noted it's missing a bridge. Lots of documentation on Sir Paul playing this bass but very little on how they confirmed it's a 66 Hofner or no documentation on if it is playable (if a bridge were added) or if there are any other issues. Lastly Auction Houses are legitimate scammers, be careful of any other charges. They have alot of hidden fees. |

I think that it is safe to say, that whoever ends up with this bass will likely put it behind glass with the framed documents. I can't see it being played much if at all. If something ever happens to Paul, it will end up back at an Auction house for a much higher price. |

I guess I have a hard time wrapping my thoughts around the fact that this is a rental bass that, yes, Paul "touched" several times in his career, but didn't own... At a starting point of $7500, is this bass REALLY a part of Paul's history, and therefor, worth $7500-to$50,000? Only time, and the bidding war, will tell.... |

If it’s a ‘66, he couldn’t gave played it much, given that he died that year. |

My favorite was in St Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band it was said that if you took a mirror and placed in the center of "Hearts" the way the fonts was it would appear as HE(diamond shape)DIE with the Diamond pointing directly to Paul.

That's ridiculous. How many basses did Paul rent or touch or look at in the past 50 years? INHO his doesn't count as a McCartney bass at all. At least the auctioneers are upfront with the connection. |
