<\/p>\n

A worldwide search is on to \u00adreunite Sir Paul McCartney with his much-missed \u201cfavourite\u201d guitar that he played on Love Me Do, Twist and Shout and She Loves You.<\/p>\n

Macca was an unknown teenager when he bought his first Hofner 500\/1 electric bass for just \u00a330 in a shop in Hamburg in 1961.<\/p>\n

Experts say if found the guitar which disappeared at the end of the 1960s could now be worth more
than \u00a310million.<\/p>\n

Hofner has launched a quest to find the lost guitar after Sir Paul, 81, recently told the manufacturers how much he would like to be reunited with his beloved bass.<\/p>\n

Nick Wass, a Hofner executive who is in contact with the legend\u2019s office, said: \u201cWhen I\u2019ve met Paul we\u2019ve talked about his first Hofner bass and where it could be. Paul said to me: \u2018Hey, because you\u2019re from Hofner, couldn\u2019t you help find my bass?\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what sparked this great hunt. Seeing what the lost bass means to Paul, I was determined to solve the mystery.\u201d Hundreds of people have got in touch after the search was launched with the hashtag #tracingthebass on social media. It invites anyone with information about its whereabouts to come forward.<\/p>\n

Sir Paul used the guitar from 1961 to 1963, playing live and recording some of the band\u2019s biggest hits in Hamburg and at Liverpool\u2019s Cavern club before being put to one side.<\/p>\n

The star picked it up again in January 1969, when The Beatles were in London recording the sessions for Let It Be. Then it seemed to disappear. Wass added: \u201cFor most people, they will remember it. It\u2019s the bass that made the Beatles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sir Paul has revealed his wife\u2019s bedtime viewing is often \u201ctoo exciting\u201d for him. He was asked by fans on his website what he did to relax while touring and Sir Paul, who rates Better Call Saul, replied: \u201cSome of the things she\u2019ll watch, the plot will keep you up all night! So I try to read biographies.\u201d<\/p>\n
