"Paul McCartney Reunited with Long-Lost Bass After 50 Years"

TL;DR Summary
Paul McCartney's long-lost 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, known for its role in creating Beatles classics, has been found over 50 years after it was stolen. The Lost Bass Project, a campaign to locate the instrument, successfully tracked it down and returned it to McCartney, who expressed gratitude for its recovery. The bass, which was stolen in 1972, was rediscovered after gaining worldwide attention, and despite some wear-and-tear, it remains complete with its original case and will undergo repairs to make it playable again.
