And as a devoted Beatles/McCartney fan ever since the Ed Sullivan show in Feb. 1964, I'm thrilled to see your bass and would love to actually play it.
However, I gotta say, I'd be kinda surprised if anyone here from this site bought it... but let's just hope I'm wrong!

Is your Hofner 1998 '61 Reissue Cavern bass still available for sale?
