The Lost Bass Project
@TracingTheBassThe Lost Bass is a global project, dedicated to tracing Paul McCartney's missing Höfner bass. We set out in Sept 2023. In Feb 2024 we announced: "It's back!"
Within days of the theft the press coverage made the stolen bass 'too hot to handle'. It was taken to Ron Guest who ran a pub in Ladbroke Grove, who agreed to hide then buy the most famous bass guitar in the world. The stolen goods stayed in the Guest family for over 50 years.
Within 48 hours, the theft of Paul McCartney's Höfner bass on 10 October 1972 was making headlines around the world. The story included an appeal from Paul McCartney himself and ran in the @EveningStandard, @DailyMirror, @thetimes and @Reuters
52 years ago today, Paul McCartney's original Höfner bass was stolen from the back of a sound engineer's van in Ladbroke Grove. Following the launch of The Lost Bass Project in Sept 2023, the bass is now back to where it once belonged.
