Rickenbacker 4001 bass from 1966(?) to 1968, and then Fender Precision basses afterwards, 'till The Wall. I've no idea what he plays these days. I imagine that the Fender was probably his favorite, as he'd been playing the same model for the longest.

Near as I can tell, he's still playing the P-Bass.

Roger Waters plays a wooden bass with 4 strings on it.

I thought his bass is so ugly. I hated (let's not get technical here) that little metal thing on the body that went over the strings. I hate playin those kind. It's gets in the way! Of course, he played with a pick, and I play with my fingers but.......Oh, and that color. But hell, what do you expect back in the seventies?

Are you trying to tell me you don't like the colour of a vintage sunburst Fender P-bass?!

As a matter of fact, Roger played two different basses on the 1999-2002 tours. They are both all-black Fender Precisions, which are actually exact replicas of the one he used on the 1977 tour.

Why does he need two?

So he doesn't have to re-tune the E string to D before and after Another Brick in the Wall! You'd think that he'd just hire Rick Wright to do it for him.

Oh, and Andy Fairweather-Low played a silver-grey version of the same thing.
