I'm pretty sure it's a Hofner bass. I remember him mentioning at the Grammy's that he used it during the Ed Sullivan Performance, and I know I've met a man that bought one because Paul used it.

Here's a website that lists ALL of his equipment over the years! Just scroll down to the basses section. It's kind of interesting! But then, anything about Paul is interesting to me.

I wrote a piece about Paul's bass - it took me hours!!! LOL! It clears up some of the confusion over Paul's early Hofner, and also illustrates the basses he's had over the years. You can read it here:

The bass that Paul usually used in the early years (the violin shaped one) was a Hofner, the one he used in (for instance) the All You Need Is Love tv special was a Rickenbacker. Those two were his favorites.
