This very special Bass Guitar features an all-white finish combined with black hardware and body art specially commissioned by Hofner from Klaus Voormann. Klaus Voormann is a German artist, musician, and record producer who enjoyed a close association and special relationship with the Beatles. It was Klaus who designed the cover of the Revolver album, for which he won a Grammy Award. The unique design on the top of this bass is in the same style as the Revolver Album. As a musician, Voormann is best known for being the bassist for Manfred Mann from 1966 to 1969 and for performing as a session musician on a host of recordings, including many by former members of the Beatles.His association with the Beatles dated back to their time in Hamburg in the early 1960s. He lived in the band's London flat with George Harrison and Ringo Starr after John Lennon and Paul McCartney moved out to live with their respective partners, Following the band's split, rumours circulated of the formation of a group named the Ladders, consisting of Lennon, Harrison, Starr and Voormann. While this failed to materialise, all four along with Billy Preston performed on the Ringo Starr track "I'm the Greatest". Klaus Voormann went on to play on albums by Lennon, Harrison and Starr and was for a time a member of the Plastic Ono Band. In the 1990s, Klaus Voorman designed the artwork for the Beatles Anthology albums.In 2009, he released his debut solo album, "A Sideman's Journey", which featured many notable musicians, including the two surviving members of the Beatles, performing as "Voormann and Friends".This is one of those "once in a lifetime" opportunities.
