Paul McCartney’s Höfner Bass

I just love that bass and i love the sound… Can you hear the songs? Please give a comment! Karl Höfner gmbh & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of musical instruments, with one division that manufactures guitars and basses, and another that manufactures other string instruments. Much of Höfner’s popularity is attributed to Paul mccartney’s use of the Höfner 500/1 bass throughout his career. This violin-shaped model is commonly referred to as the “Beatle bass.” The company was made famous through its association with The Beatles, principally through their Höfner 500/1 model hollow-body electric bass, first manufactured in 1956. Paul mccartney played two left-handed 500/1 basses during most of the group’s career, one from 1961 with the pickups mounted close together towards the neck, and a 1963 model, with the second pickup mounted closer to the bridge. He used the 1961 bass up through the recording of With the Beatles and, after having some repair work and a refinish to the bass in 1964, used it as his backup bass throughout the rest of the Beatles’ touring career. It was also seen in the promo film for the Beatles single “Revolution,” and during the filming of the Beatles’ documentary Let It Be (though only as a backup). This particular bass was stolen shortly afterward. His most famous bass, though is the 1963 bass, which was used almost exclusively during the band’s touring career (1962-66), as well as their rooftop performance in London in 1969 (as featured in Let It

123 – It’s Easy As ABC – Why the Jacksons Are a Part of Our Culture, History and Heritage

Is there any doubt as to the power of Jackson’s music?

Certainly, there can be no mistaking the look of their most famous member. Trilby tipped forward, throwing the face into shadow, and held in place by a single white sequined glove – the King of Pop – that’s what they call Michael Jackson. The singer’s legacy from his debut with the Jackson Five to the smash hit albums Thriller, Bad and beyond, may be described as ‘spectacular’ and ‘high octane’.

Michael, Rest in Peace

It’s unbelieveable that Michael Jackson has actually passed the big ’5-0′ milestone – with a career which now spans four decades during which he has sold 750 million records worldwide. The Thriller album, of course, is still the world’s best-selling recording of all time. Just ask the Guinness Book of Records.

Motown is still going strong, even today. Songs like the Jackson 5′s ’123 .. it’s easy as ABC’ play in the best clubs as a way of winding down the night. It’s a reminder that, if Berry Gordy Jr had fulfilled his dream of becoming a professional boxer Motown might never have been born. But he also had another passion, for music. And instead of going into the ring, he set up a record company, which took its name from Motor Town, as his Detroit home was dubbed after becoming the hub of the American car industry.

It was a move which took not just his life, but those of millions of music fans around the world, on a completely different road.

Yesterday the now legendary label marked its 50th anniversary, and people across the globe celebrated what became not just a successful label but an entire musical genre. Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Jackson Five, The Four Tops and The Isley Brothers – the list of timeless Motown acts seems endless. It is hard to believe that it all began back in 1959 with an dollars-800 loan from relatives.

As a boy he had dropped out of school to pursue his ambition to go into boxing, later serving in the US Army during the Korean war. On his return home he made his first move into music, setting up a record store. But selling tunes was never going to be enough and he dabbled in songwriting, penning Reet Petite, among other hits, for the singer Jackie Wilson.

As well as 123, don’t forget the Jackson 5′s “I want you back” featured on the Jackson Five’s Greatest Hits. You can’t help but love the beat, the music, Michael Jackson’s voice. The song would come on the radio in the car and people everywhere would bob up and down.
