Paul and His '63 Höfner

[nedison]

I got [my Höfner V3] for 19 quid in Guitar Village Shaftsbury Avenue when I was 17 in 1970. People didn't reckon it much as a guitar because then it was prog rock and everyone was doing widdly-widdly and this was a jangly-jangly sort of guitar. But it came into its own in The Cleaners From Venus!

Hofner - PRE-AMP

"... isn’t really a pedal at all, but it’s plays a very significant part in early electric guitar! This is a Hofner Pre-Amp, made in England during the 1950’s. If you were a beginner guitarist and couldn’t afford one of those new and expensive guitar amplifiers, the Hofner Pre-Amp is there to convert your (tube) Hifi Receiver or Radio console into your very own guitar amp! Just plug the banana clips into the “Phono” input and flip the switch 💥 Utilizing a Mullard OC71 germanium transistor and a very simple boost circuit, it’s no surprise that the 1960’s Dallas Rangemaster circuit is very eerily similar to that of the Hofner Pre-Amp."

Pretty big news and all, but if you hadn't seen, they've recovered Paul McCartney's long-lost Hofner. Fair to say, the most iconic bass ever?
