"Paul McCartney Reunited with Stolen Hofner Bass After 50-Year Mystery"

Paul McCartney has been reunited with his iconic 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was stolen in 1972 and became a key part of The Beatles' image. The guitar, authenticated by Höfner, was found in the possession of a family in southern England and returned to McCartney following a campaign called the Lost Bass Project. The instrument, bought for 30 pounds in 1961, played a significant role in the band's early years and on classic albums. Its return marks a remarkable reunion after more than 50 years.
