Sergio Pizzorno
Sergio Pizzorno's Gear
When asked what guitar and amp combination he gravitates towards, Sergio Pizzorno responds, "A Watkins amplifier and a Rickenbacker SF – side-fretted from 1975. It's just the baddest sound. It's my sound – nobody else really uses it."
The editor notes that the Rickenbacker Sergio is referring to is the Rickenbacker model 481-SF, "with slanted frets." The original article from March 2012 can be found here.
Sergio Pizzorno is seen using an Epiphone Casino in the video "Kasabian - Rewired (VEVO Presents: Kasabian - Live from Leicester)" available on KasabianVEVO's YouTube channel.

MicroKorg mainly used by Sergio. Used in live concerts as well as studio recordings. Seen in Kasabian’s 2004 “Fields Of Dreams” documentary. In Kasabian’s Stuntman, the beginning of the song was a spacey pad sound from the MicroKorg.
In this video of Kasabian covering Iggy Azalea's song Fancy in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, Sergio Pizzorno can be seen playing a Hofner guitar, which most closely matches the Senator model. While the tailpiece differs a bit, Senators do indeed exist with the same tailpiece as the one Pizzorno is using. Pizzorno's Senator guitar also has a reddish pearl pickguard. The markings on the neck and headstock as well as the shape of the body and the f-holes are consistent with the Senator model. At 3:14 in the video, a good look at the entire guitar can be had.
In this photo, Sergio can be seen playing a Fender Coronado II in orange, with a gold pick guard.

This picture is from Kasabian’s Field of Dreams mini documentary on their debut album. On the bottom of that MicroKorg is a Sequential Circuits Pro One used in many of their songs with Sergio and Chris playing them. It is hard to see clearly but I looked at the synths knob layout and it matched the Pro One.
