That's the shortsighted John Wimple Lennon on a Fender VI bass. (Yes, I am aware his middle name was Winston, until his marriage to Yoko. It's in reference to this, a name John called himself: http://books.google.com/books?id=v1RBDwF0M8kC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq... )

@KuruContinuum Nope, sorry, That's John playing bass on Helter Skelter, not Paul.
-
@pkganno if they mysteriously disappear, you know who is the guilty, LOL
-
@Beatleaga I have 20 some books on the Beatles. Probably my favorite is The Beatles Recording Sessions. It detail every day they were in the recording studio, what they recorded, who played what, takes...etc... It's very interesting.
-
@pkgannon I'm a great Beatle fan, and with or without info, I know the way how Paul plays bass. However, I'd like have more info about those sessions, is pure gold.
-
@Beatleaga I believe you are correct. It mentions that as well in Beatles Recording Session September 9, 1968. Helter Skelter remake takes 4-21 .. John played bass guitar and, of all things, a decidedly unskilled saxophone.
-
clearly, the player isn't Paul, must be John
-
At 3:03 , Scouser Paul !

@gamers209 I'm so sorry!
-

Paul did the bass on Helter Skelter- case closed! Bit of a messy bassline here.

@KuruContinuum No. Paul didn't.
"Starting afresh on already-recorded songs during The White Album sessions was becoming commonplace, and on September 9th, a new attempt was made on Helter Skelter. ... The final version recorded on the 9th featured very heavily distorted electric guitars, drums and piano. ... The next day Lennon added bass using the Fender VI."
