Paul McCartney’s most recognizable bass was actually his second Höfner. The 1963 500/1 carried him through Beatlemania, the Beatles’ final tours and the rooftop concert. After Elvis Costello encouraged Paul to revive it in the late 1980s, it once again became his main bass. More than 60 years after it was made, his crew still calls it Number One.
