"A Hofner Bass. It is on the list of everyone who plays guitar and grew up with the Beatles. A lefty 1968 in this condition is certainly not common. Can you imagine seeing the Beatles 1969 rooftop concert (that is the YouTube link below) with Paul playing his and then walking into a music store and seeing this hanging on the wall?" — Jerry Welch
