This interview was done on Sept. 25, in Tel Aviv, Israel, shortly before sound check.

Keith Smith, Paul McCartney's technical manager, talks (while setting up the '63 Hofner) about the Hofner, the Epi Texan, the Les Pauls, the ukulele, and the Ric. It's almost 9:00 minutes long.

In the opening sentences I am saying something like, there are tons of equipment here, but we are more interested in the basses and guitars, blah blah blah, and then the interview itself is in English (with Hebrew subtitles... in a few days they will upload a version without subtitles).

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

Well done, and thank you for doing this.

BTW, in my default media player it shows as 15:36 long, and after your interview ends, the player keeps running with a black screen.
