Paul McCartney's Hoffner 500/1 basses

[Tom Winter]

I think he must have some extra "non famous" Violin basses when he plays live. At the end of the show I saw in 2002 I believe, he threw one bass across the stage to his tech. Who caught it, everyone gasped. I don't think it was the "set list" one.

Stu was bass player who left the early Beatles in Germany to attend art school lending his Hofner Club righthand bass to Paul.
