McCartney bass shatters auction record

 

Paul McCartney's Yamaha BB-1200 guitar shattered the auction record for a bass guitar, bringing a top bid of $496,000 in the Music Rising benefit auction conducted by Van Eaton Galleries over the weekend. The Edge's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For custom Fender Strat matched that amount and guitars donated by Bruce Springsteen and Lenny Kravitz tallied bids of $76,100 each. Proceeds from the auction will provide assistance to New Orleans area musicians that were sidelined due to the pandemic.
