Guy Pratt
From This Might Be A Wiki
Guy Pratt is a prolific session bassist who has worked with dozens of artists, including tenures with Pink Floyd and The Smiths.[1] Pratt is featured as the bassist on the They Might Be Giants track "I've Got A Fang". He recalled an interaction with Clive Langer that he states could have been during the recording sessions for the song:[2]
[I was playing a Spector NS-2] until I think it was sometime in the late 90s. I was doing a session for Langer and Winstanley. It was either Republica, or I think it might have been They Might Be Giants. I remember turning up with [the Spector NS-2] and Clive Langer went "Ugh, its horrible, sounds like an Alembic." And I said "Well, hmm" and at that point my world sort of changed. It's like suddenly we didn't want to be so posh, we didn't want to be quite so hi-fi.
