Well, to emulate him, first you need 1x David Gilmour to play everything for you on the record 
Seriously though, I know that he uses RotoSound Jazz Bass 77 strings...and I'm fairly certain Ashdown amps, but I'm not sure what ones. Fair bet would be the most expensive... |

He had 2 of these rigs -1 on each side of the drum kit. Then he went to a Phase Linear 700 custom built 3 way setup & by "The Wall" added Martin "Philshave" midrange cabinets. |

He uses what looks to be a MAG 810 combo, similar to the ABM King Combo which is what he apparently uses on the website even though the picture shows him playing through the MAG 810, I saw him a few years back in Hyde Park and he used an American Deluxe black P Bass going through what looked like an ampeg 410he and a 115, but because he plays with another bass player it was confusing, however I know he usually plays the MAG 810 combo, you can see it on the Live 8 vids on youtube. Wow what a rant!

Its a great DVD.

Roger uses the same P-Bass from the Floyd in the 70's. RotoSound round wound 77's thru Ampeg SVT's. SVT 6's on DSOTM and SVT7's on The current The Wall. Ampeg 4x10 HE cabs for both tours.
The MAG you see in the Live 8 pics belongs to David Gilmours band. Roger uses Ampeg now for the past 10 years or so.
The Ashdowns and HiWatts are packed up in the warehouse.
The new RW signature P-Bass with brass nut is so close to Rogers original that it's unbelievable. Seymour Duncan Basslines pups kik and punch.
One of the very best P-Basses available.
