Guy is an amazing musician and the type of person who you can just sit back, have a pint, and talk until the sun comes up. Love it.

[@marcushogan6613]

Had the pleasure of seeing Guy Pratt play the world's first concert in Pompeii with David Gilmour 2 years ago. Tickets came out on my 19th birthday. Absolute perfection and I'll never see a better gig

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

❤️

[@mark240862]

What a great bloke.

[@simdoyle]

Guy Pratt - total legend on all levels.

[@kjek1]

Great interview. Guy is a really interesting musician to listen to, really likeable too

[@Oilid]

GUY PRATT???? 💜 OMG!!!!! Such a huge legend!! #tgu18

[@liquidfloyd2588]

His face when he asks "handsome?"

[@PeterPanQuails]

Guy Pratt always have funny stories to tell. A legend in his own unique way.

[@dag221]

Wait a minute....Guy Pratt was in Icehouse ? I love Icehouse. So Guy has been in three huge bands for me in Pink Floyd, Icehouse and Toy Matinee.

[@chimpansi2]

Pratt, a fantastic musician.👌

[@rickmolyneux9031]

I could listen to Guy Pratt for hours.

[@olivarionline]

Guy Pratt! Playing Harley Benton! Thinks it's quite nice! Another exclamation mark!

[@yngve6640]

Since i am trying to repair an Ashdown MAG evo 2 bass combo i got very cheap, it was cool to hear this brand are used by the guy playing bass for Pink Floyd and Icehouse. Must be a good brand i guess ?

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Wish you would’ve asked him how he got the Pink Floyd gig or what it’s like to work with David Gilmour.

[@lapelcelery42]

You could read his book. It's pretty good if you're interested in that stuff

[@olivarionline]

I think when asked that question in the past he replied "I recommend it to everyone".

[@lptomtom]

How to get the PF gig? Dating Rick Wright's daughter seemed to work for Guy

[@lapelcelery42]

Though, he did get the gig before the girl.

[@John_Doe643]

He explains this in an Australian tv interview.

[@markye1872]

Total Legend.

[@bongosock]

Maynard James Keenan can also really hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

[@fotomule]

Nice interviewing. Taking part, yet not taking over. An art well done here

[@mervolicious]

Good video, not being a bassist I still watched and enjoyed the stories. From a camera man's point of view: lower the cam a bit so the verticals can be straight upright.

[@mrbungle7586]

Wow, what an awesome vid, interview. Dude hosting it could be a bouncer lol. So many funny interactions during this. Well done. Cheers

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Mr Bungle I all but worship Mr. Bungle. Wasn’t sure if you were Trevor Dunn commenting on Guy Pratt. Cheers.

[@SteveGouldinSpain]

I could have watched another couple of hours of that. Don't think you have to follow TV station program formats!! It's called new media for a reason.

[@efremmucignato5869]

Great Guy....

[@chroniclesofbap6170]

"I'm a bassist too" For Pink Floyd? "No :(" Thanks for the interview, bud. Guy Pratt is a legend.

[@custompedalboards]

heehee nice interview, guy's always got great stories.

[@thomasburkhard2784]

A cool part of great musical history shine´s on.

[@spud74]

Imagine leaving school with no qualifications and ending up in a dead end job with the Floyd 🙄

[@craigkaschan4822]

Both good blokes. I bet Guy could tell some stories from touring with Pink Floyd and David Gilmour.

[@andreirlmeier]

thomann premium sound . vorsicht bei grösseren lautsprechern

[@saunds59]

A top bass player that has laid down some great tracks, (check out his awesome list of credits).An entertaining speaker and his autobiography is a brilliant read

[@josemenendez4454]

Binson Echorec?

[@danielguitar5150]

Can anyone tell me what kind of new Fender bass guy Pratt is talking about?

[@yngve6640]

The new modern series jazz and p bass. Don't remember the name of this line, but the basses have more beefy bridges and other changes. Expencive american build line.

[@tward3928]

So what is the new project?

[@PeteCarlton]

I guess you know by now!

[@SecretAgentPaul]

Growing a beard I believe. It's out now!

[@godsinbox]

Lucky he got out of graphic design, before the AI onslaught. A real visionary.

[@Carl-im9gh]

I thought Betsy was a gift from David Gilmour?

[@spud74]

Carl 123 It was. Gilmour left it outside the door of his hotel room on Guy’s wedding night after jokingly offering him 250 grand for it.

[@Carl-im9gh]

@@spud74 Yes. That is the story I heard him say on another interview but here he says he bought Betsy off John Entwistle.

[@marcelmcanally8046]

No a 3TS stack knob jazz was from David Gilmour, and 100k not 250k. Betsy was bought off the OX.
