Fender Precision Bass (Rotosound flatwound strings, played with a heavy pick) into a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100 amplifier, blended with direct injection (DI) and studio optical compression
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Bass | 6 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Master | 5 |

RECOMMENDED — not currently owned (mimics the EMI console/LA-2A studio compression on the master track)
The Ibanez IBZ10BV2 faceplate features Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls (gain, presence, and reverb are omitted as they do not exist on the unit). Because the IBZ10BV2 has a small 6.5-inch speaker that naturally lacks deep low-mid authority compared to a 4x12 Hiwatt cabinet, the amp's Middle is pushed to 7 with Bass at 6 to replicate the round fundamental of Waters' P-bass without bottoming out the speaker. Treble is dialed to 5 with the Westone Pantera's split-neck pickup active and its tone knob backed off to 7 to smooth out high-end click while keeping the pick articulation clear. During the guitar solo section, the original recording adds a subtle studio tremolo effect to the bass track.
