Need effects help on "One of These Days"

Update.....while I did not get the gig (I was #2) the band was impressed with my bass tone and exact effects settings on "One of These Days". I also killed the fretless on "Hey You". Ya win some, ya lose some I guess...
Yep. Sorry you didn't get it but there will be others.
 
I have read an article somewhere a long time ago. Gilmour was saying there are actualy 2 basses used on the original track. The first is Roger at the beginning using a Fender Precision and then a lil way into the songs beginning bass part you will hear another bass track enter either in your right or left ear. Listen close and you will hear. This second bass track is gilmour playing a fender Jazz bass most likely to add more brightness to the tone and thicken the bass part up even more. There is a video of guy Pratt showing the effects and how to play it on you tube right now. The videos are called Sumthing like guy Pratt lockdown bass videos. He also does several other videos on different bass parts for Floyd and madonnas like a prayer bass part which he also recorded.
