I played a Hofner like Paul's years ago. How did it play? It was light, like bamboo and had a booming, mellow sound. I had to turn down the sound because of all the feedback. Somebody liked it and they bought it the next day. I finally understood how those Vox amplifiers really put out some powerful beats. It was really fun. McCartney was an all-around musician-director like his father.
A splendid effort by a very talented artisan. Interesting is the mix of ‘62, ‘64 and beyond hardware/details. I bet with all of your hand carving and chosen woods the bass just sings. Thank you for entertaining us with this special project.
I'm a carpenter and restorer. I didn't make guitars, but I had to restore them. I realized that if I wanted to do this, it had to be my life's work. Respect. GooD)))))))
What an extraordinary piece of work, MAESTRO !!!! It looks beautiful and your smile posing with the final product is priceless !!!! But ...... there’s only a tiny little problem here.... I’m not left handed !!! 😂 Still is a fine piece of art and talent my friend. What’s on your mind now.....???? Reach Sir Paul and give it to him or attempt him to sign it ????? All the best and be safe please !
Well done , the work by hand of your bass is better than the original, I would imagine your bass would have better sustain compared to the original as your body was cut out and thicker as was your top where as the originals tend to be compressed laminated veneers glued together. I worked for the Australian importer back in the 80s, I have 4 Hofners in my collection a 1963, 1970, 1990s blade and a reissue cavern bass 2017 and it was good to see you are a lefty as well, thanks for sharing.

Assolutamente fantastico! Congratulazioni per qualcosa di così ben fatto. Deve essere un orgoglio per te. Hai detto: grazie per la visione, ma dovremmo ringraziarti per averci permesso di guardare. Regards from Rio!
WOW . I assume you’re going to present it to Paul. I’m sure the quality is actually better than a Hofner. I realise you most likely used the the pots,caps,and pups but still that was an awful lot of handcrafted work. Beautiful.
Galeazzo, I've been learning how to sing the Beatles and having fun with you since 2013! And Now, I've just thrown myself into it and sang in double-track some Lennon stuff, would you take a listen!!! It' on my new youtube thing! Tell me what you think of it!!!
Great work! This white line on the headstock is a binding or painting? Looks like some kind of black and white veneers but i've never understood how this headstock is made at Höfner videos (they skip this exact part and show only the already assembled headstock with the black with white frame front part).
The Most identifiable instrument in the history of MUSIC along with the Ringo's Oyster Black “Super Classic” ... BUT if you area fan .. you know the The"Rick" (Rickenbacker 325 Capri )and George's Various Gretsch
And you made a lefty for me too, so kind of you! I thought you were a talented singer and guitar player, is there no limit to watch you can do? Wonderful piece of work, hope it sounds as good as it looks. Did you use Hofner electrics?
@@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony I learned Rhythm and Solo guitar by my father who played flamenco and Bach and anything and everything on an acoustic guitar. I was 12 and I know had decided to learn base and my dad asked what I whished for "A Stu Sutcliffe bass not the violin!" I didnt knew anything about Stu Sutcliffe. BUt I got a Höfner 333. A recent manufactured Höfner at the time.
A demo of the bass or any audio to accompany the slideshow would have been nice!

Galeazzo you are a true artist. Love the video. Narration would have ruined it. Your patience and precision are a thing of beauty.
It's very beautiful!
I wanna learn to how make one of these, you're very talented!
Frudua, a master!
I never comment on UA-cam videos... Ever... But when you nailed the paint colour, I gasped... It is perfect. How can i buy one? :)
You can only buy these basses second hand or from www.hofner.com , I can't sell it, this is just for my personal use :)
A beautiful guitar and a wonderful idea.
This put a smile on my face...so cool. Perhaps someday we'll watch you play it on one of your future Beatles videos...Ad maiora!
I wish I could have seen and heard you playing it at the end...
Sencillamente....emocionante y admirable su trabajo. Dios bendiga sus manos. Cordial saludo desde Bogotá Colombia.
Stunning work. What a beautiful instrument you’ve made.
Nice work, great job.
Hope you didn't get blisters on your fingers making it.

Galeazzo, you're a luthier too? Is there anything that you don't do? EXCELLENT job, signore!
You gotta see him dancing Cuban Cha-Cha😲
A great luthier indeed: with his brand Frudua he has made several top class instruments for many years.
Such a talented man to be able to build a beautiful guitar!

Beautiful job. Thank you 😊
So beautiful!
How deep is your Love by Bee Gees vocal harmony in the future
Great work but ,why the raised logo? And you know you have a contemporary pickguard not at German one.
Great job but why slightly smaller?
Beautiful work
Congratulations it looks awesome!
We want to hear it!
Nice job! Wow congrats!
Very good job! Congrats
Amazing work
Actually I'm glad there's no narration or music as one can really absorb visually what is going on and admire it.
Sir Paul McCartney's legend bass
Bravo....Bellissimo
It would be nice to hear an audio clip of this fine looking instrument.
Awesome!!!!
WOW . I assume you’re going to present it to Paul. I’m sure the quality is actually better than a Hofner. I realise you most likely used the the pots,caps,and pups but still that was an awful lot of handcrafted work. Beautiful.
Nice video, I love this instrument!
¡Qué maravilla!
You are amazing
Wow
Why did you make it smaller? Just curious. These basses seem already pretty small as they are
Galeazzo, I've been learning how to sing the Beatles and having fun with you since 2013! And Now, I've just thrown myself into it and sang in double-track some Lennon stuff, would you take a listen!!! It' on my new youtube thing! Tell me what you think of it!!!
Why no sound example? Hope it doesn't sound like a Banjo :)
Actually better made than a real Höfner. Super

l'unico vero liutaio che è in grado di trasformare un manico di scopa in un manico per chitarra....complimenti Gale
Талантливый человек талантлив во всём.
You needed flat head screws in the truss rod cover, apart from that, pure genius 🙌
Shame it's a silent video, but still great
Beautiful work. Some sound (narration) would be good too. : )
Cual es el costo saludos desde Perú
And you made a lefty for me too, so kind of you! I thought you were a talented singer and guitar player, is there no limit to watch you can do? Wonderful piece of work, hope it sounds as good as it looks. Did you use Hofner electrics?
I used the hardware of a Contemporary series bass I owned

What's that kind Wood, and Wood name ?
Why no bass playing afterwards?

Complimenti! Mi chiedevo solo perché più piccolo dell'originale? che misure sono?
E' 4cm più corto
@@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony grazie! c'è qualche motivazione di tipo tecnico o di suono nella scelta di rimpicciolirlo?
@@giacomopapetti puramente estetica Giacomo.
So sorry I let my Bass go in early 1970. And bought a 72 J Bass. pity I couldnt afford both guitars.
Hofner invite you to do that?
back with the vocal harmony videos, please!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
