Guy Pratt's Gear
You can see him playing Betsy, his 1964 Jazz Bass aquired from John Entwistle in this video. It is fitted with EMG pickups. "Guy's original got an active upgrade during early rehearsals with Pink Floyd in August '87. "I said to my tech, Syd Price, one day, ‘These pickups are a bit quiet, maybe we should think about getting some new ones?’ - and the next morning, it had EMGs in it. I shouted ‘What the f*ck have you done? You can’t put EMGs in a ’64 Jazz!’ but when I plugged it in, it sounded amazing!""

Guy Pratt collaborated with Foxgear to design the Knee Trembler, a tremolo effects pedal specifically crafted to emulate the sound from "One of These Days." The original sound was achieved in the studio using an LFO into the side chain of a compressor. Pratt uses this pedal alongside the Foxgear Echosex Baby. This collaboration was mentioned by Pratt on his Twitter account.
