THE LOST BASS PROJECT HAS BEEN CLOSED

Hofner Limited Edition Fab Gear Revolution Beatle Bass 500/1-61-REV Model — Andy Babiuk's Fab Gear

Paul McCartney’s original bass guitar, which the legendary musician used in The Beatles’ early years, has been found
and returned after it was stolen more than five decades
ago (1972).

The 81-year-old singer-songwriter was reunited with the
left-handed Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass after its manufacturer
and a husband-and-wife team of journalists embarked on
a search for the missing instrument in 2018 that later
became a crowdsourcing campaign called The Lost
Bass Project.

A statement shared Wednesday on McCartney’s website confirmed that the guitar had been discovered and was 
returned to its original owner.

The story of Nancy Kerrigan vs. Tonya Harding | Worldation  
 Nancy Kerrigan                             Tonya Harding
  
 

Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at a Detroit
ice rink following a practice session two days before the
Olympic trials. A man hit Kerrigan with a club on the back
of her knee, causing the figure skater to cry out in pain and bewilderment.

When the full story emerged a week later, the nation became
caught up in a real-life soap opera.

One of Kerrigan’s chief rivals for a place on the U.S. Figure
Skating Team was
Tonya Harding

In mid-December 1993, Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly,
approached Shawn Eckardt about somehow
eliminating
Kerrigan from the competition. Eckardt set up a meeting
with
Derrick Smith
and Shane Stant, who agreed to injure
Kerrigan for a fee.
