Dave Gilmour on Later - bass player?

[Nicko]

Did anyone see this. I though the songs were absolute pish, but that bass player was playing some lovely lines. It reminded me a bit of the Blockheads bass. Apparently the bass on the record was by Yaron Stavi. I've never hear of him before and don't know if it was him on the prog. Anyone else catch this?

If it was his recent appearance I'm pretty sure it was Guy Pratt...

100%! The burgundy mist Jazz is a dead giveaway!

I saw this and thought exactly the same. He had a really good sund and the lines played were very Norman Watt Roy. I thought it was excellent.

Yes, it is the marvellous Guy Pratt, playing 'Betsy'. @1:50

Is that the jazz bass Gilmour gave him on his wedding day ?

[Oopsdabassist]

Yup

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Gilmour gave him the sunburst stack-knob. Betsy used to belong to John Entwistle and now wears EMGs.

[rogerstodge]

I'm sure I see Mr Pratt stand in for Norman Watt-Roy, maybe his playing has rubbed off on him?

[Funky Dunky]

Guy is a monster player, absolutely tremendous bassist. Played on Madge's 'Like A Prayer'. Listen to the bass on that song - it's quite superb.

[spectoremg]

Like A Prayer sounds like a synth bass?

[Funky Dunky]

Patrick Leonard, who produced the track, said in a Billboard interview that Guy Pratt was the bassist.

[ezbass]

There is quite a long section in GP's book that talks about the session. He is using an octaver and channeling Pino, especially in the outro.

[spectoremg]

I stand corrected.

Coat?

No, shoes definitely works better. Whoever heard of an orthopaedic coat?

[MoonBassAlpha]

I apologise unreservedly for any injuries caused to people's sides from my post above.
My coat was already in place before I hit "post"!

He also played on Michael Jackson's Earth song.
