HELP! has a new band member. Well, sort of. Bassist Ernie Mendillo just received a new Hofner Cavern Bass as part of his endorsement agreement with the iconic bass manufacturers. The bass is an exact replica of Paul McCartney’s first bass, purchased in Hamburg in 1961. Together with his 1963 counterpart, Ernie now uses both of Paul’s basses in our shows.
“It’s the dream of every bassist who admired The Beatles to play a Hofner, but to have an endorsement deal is beyond my wildest dreams,” says Ernie. Thanks to Nick Wass from Hofner for making this happen! We’re pleased to welcome the Cavern Bass into the band!
