Paul's Rickenbacker

[coronado3]

Is this the same bass he used on the Wings Over America tour and album? I heard it was stripped to natural at some point.

Yep, same bass.

Not to digress too much further, but how about those Teisco amps for John and George at the Budakan show while Paul still has his Vox amps.

The Teisco amps belonged to an opening act. George's and John's Vox amps are in the photo, in line with Paul's in front of the drum riser.

As already answered, it's the same Ric.

Paul owns three Rickenbackers, but only has used one publicly. His other two are:

1978 or 79 4001 Fretless (over his left shoulder)

1988 or 89 custom 4001/5
