- Synopsis:
'McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass', tells the true story of Paul McCartney's original Höfner bass guitar; the story of its mysterious disappearance and the fan-powered quest to find it. For over 50 years, the fate of this iconic instrument remained one of rock 'n' roll's greatest unsolved mysteries. Bought for £30 in Hamburg by an 18-year-old McCartney, the Höfner became the sound of the Beatles' early hits, from Love Me Do to She Loves You. When it vanished in the early 1970s, it was believed to be lost forever until a group of fans set out to bring it home. Through humour, memory, and the shared power of music, the film explores recollection, obsession, and the enduring magic of a musical legend. - Actors:
