"Pigs(Three Different Ones)" Not Fretless?

[tim gueguen]

It's long been accepted that David Gilmour used a fretless bass on Pink Floyd's "Pigs." But I can across this today, and although it does have some artifacts as these isolated tracks often do, it sounds pretty obvious it's actually a fretted bass.



Check out Kevin Sheppard's other videos. He's got some nice videos where he uses a Jazz Bass and a Ric through the same Ashley preamps Geddy Lee used circa Moving Pictures and Signals.

obviously fretted judging from the rattle when he does a slide

Thanks for sharing! This is my favorite Gilmour bass line and had a feeling it was on a fretted. I can get very close to this sound with my Fender Road Worn and flats.

Definitely fretted. With chorus or flanger, not sure which.
