Before bass players wrote melodies… they kept time.

The Höfner 500/1 — the “violin bass” — didn’t roar. It didn’t grind. It sang.

When Paul McCartney brought this short-scale hollow body into the spotlight, bass stopped hiding in the back and started shaping the song.

Warm. Woody. Counter-melodic.

This wasn’t about power.

It was about presence.

These Go To Eleven.
