In which PF songs does D. Gilmour play bass? And how do you find out?
Thank you.

[Keith Jordan]

Probably all of them in the studio, particularly on Animals!

He also played bass on One of these Days (as did Roger)

The easiest way to tell is to consult the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia by Vernon Fitch.

If that's not immediately an option, consider this:

If the bassline is melodic and relatively complex, it's Gilmour; if it's basic and rythmic, it's Waters.

According to The Rough Guide To Pink Floyd by Toby Manning, Gilmour played bass on " Animals " ( Pigs and Sheep ). When I saw Floyd perform " Animals ", Waters played electric rhythm guitar and Snowy White played bass.

Yeah...you SAW them.

That was LIVE.

In the STUDIO, Gilmour played the bass and the only thing Snowy White did was a guitar solo for Pigs On The Wing that originally only showed up on the eight-track release.

There's a subtle difference between a studio recording and a live performance.

Some of the bass parts are very complicated, so Dave played bass on the album.

Especially the bass part on 'Sheep'.

My bad, dude. The problem with text is that it lacks inflection, so it's sometimes hard to get exactly what a person's saying.

You're absolutely right. I should have been more specific.
