If I'm not mistaken that's our friend Mr. Feo.

Look how YOUNG Paul looks in that pic of him and his Hofner!

Why is the auction listed in Pounds instead of Dollars?

Steve, it was initiated as a ebay.uk auction even though the seller is in the US.

I nearly bid until I saw that Pauls was a 21 fretter and this one isn't!

It's real. It belongs to Greg Feo. I have played it. It is a killer bass. Plays sounds totally different than your standard Hofner. Thicker neck with fat D profile. THUMPS!!!! Hofner frets were everywhere back in the day. Only two lefty Cavern basses known in the world. Macca's and Gregs. This bass is more rare than a 1958 325!
