Another long ago stolen guitar recovery story! (Randy Bachman’s guitar recovery).
Paul McCartney’s 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar that was stolen in 1972 has been returned!
A grassroots campaign called The Lost Bass Project managed to track it down and return it to Sir Paul McCartney.
They started the search in 2018. There were many leads to follow up on, and low and behold, one of the leads made National News. The story was viewed by a resident in England who knew there was an “old bass guitar in their attic.” It turned out to be the bass guitar. It was returned to Paul within days of their realization.
