From the photographic evidence, I'd imagine it's possible that his bare wood Rickenbacker got pretty sweat-logged after the '72 and '75-'76 tours, not to mention recording on a boat with it in '77. I wonder if it's coincidence that he adopted the Yahama shortly thereafter...
I agree, but that was quite a few years ago. My thought is that Paul doesn't do much with it anymore.he says he used the Yamaha because hey gave him one for free.

I'm beginning to think Paul would accept one of my basses if I offered it to him. (and I'm left handed!)
