One of our favourite radio interviews from when we started the search for Paul McCartney's Lost Bass last year. This is Scott Jones on ABC in Australia, on 4 Sept 2023. Who would have thought it? Just weeks later the bass was back. Thrilling stuff. ABC News

Após uma extensa investigação liderada por jornalistas britânicos, o baixo foi encontrado em uma pequena cidade no litoral sul da Inglaterra. O #Fantástico refez os passos dessa história: g1.globo.com/fantastico/not…

This is how many people in South America watched The Lost Bass story on TV on Sunday night - on Fantástico, the weekly news show on Globo TV. It's fantastic to see so many people around the world share this moment in music history. Thanks to Murilo da Silva Salviano Fantástico TV Globo 📺

Australia has really got behind The Lost Bass story right from the start. It's been great fun working with the team at ABC News on radio interviews and now this Instagram story published today. This captures the adventure perfectly. ⁦ABC News⁩ instagram.com/p/C4kc8yao-17/…

52 years ago today, Paul McCartney's original Höfner bass was stolen from the back of a sound engineer's van in Ladbroke Grove. Following the launch of The Lost Bass Project in Sept 2023, the bass is now back to where it once belonged.

Within 48 hours, the theft of Paul McCartney's Höfner bass on 10 October 1972 was making headlines around the world. The story included an appeal from Paul McCartney himself and ran in the @EveningStandard, The Mirror, The Times and The Sunday Times and Reuters.

Within days of the theft the press coverage made the stolen bass 'too hot to handle'. It was taken to Ron Guest who ran a pub in Ladbroke Grove, who agreed to hide then buy the most famous bass guitar in the world. The stolen goods stayed in the Guest family for over 50 years.

God Bless you Johnnie Walker. Thanks for all the great music over the years and the great conversations. Thanks too for our dedication on Sounds of the 70s in February this year - 'My Love' - after we got the Lost Bass back for Paul McCartney. Radio won't be the same. @piratejw
