The search has been launched by The Lost Bass Project, which said that the guitar was bought in 1961 and disappeared after eight years.
A global search has been launched to find a bass guitar that once belonged to Paul McCartney. According to CNN, the original Hofner bass guitar has featured in several iconic early Beatles songs including 'Twist And Shout', 'Love Me Do' and 'She Loves You'. The outlet further said that the iconic music instrument was purchased by McCartney for around $37 in 1961 from a shop in Hamburg, Germany. The search has been launched by The Lost Bass Project and the group has been asking for information about the guitar.
"This is the bass McCartney played... in Hamburg in 1961, at the Cavern in Liverpool and on those first Abbey Road recordings - it powered Beatlemania and shaped the sound of the modern world," the group said on its website.
It also noted that McCartney used the instrument in 1969 when the Beatles were recording an album and had not been seen since.
