Yes, and he sometimes uses it in concert, when he plays Beatles songs. (He had several Hofner basses; one still had a Beatles set list taped to it, years after the band broke up.)
hofner bass
In its case in the music room.
Hofner is a German company manufacturing musical instruments. It was found in 1887, Schonbach, and itå«s the biggest string instruments producer in Germany. The company was made famous by Paul McCartney and the Beatles, because Paul used a Hofner 550/1 during the groupå«s career.
Paul McCartney plays a Hofner 500/1 1963 bass guitar. He chose this bass as it was easy to revert it to left handed. He still plays this bass today.He started off with the Hofner as it was easy to flip over to play left handed and has gone back to playing it. For a number of years (especially after they stopped playing live) he played a Rickenbacker 4001.In the early 90s he had a custom Wal bass which was "like wearing a door".
