It's a bass guitar
Answers:
He plays a Rickenbacker bass in the "I am the Walrus" sequence in Magical Mystery Tour. He actually preferred that bass over the Hofner. In fact, he first used the Rickenbacker bass on the song "Paperback Writer" and used it from then on until the Let It Be Album. In some of the videos for these songs, he can clearly be seen playing his Hofner, but that was just for show. In the actual recording sessions, he used the Rickenbacker. The Rickenbacker bass can be seen clearly in the "All You Need is Love" performance, too. Paul also used the Rickenbacker during his years with Wings which can be seen in photos from that time period. As a curious side note, Chris Squire of Yes, used the same Rickenbacker model in the 70's.
