I've seen Pat use gear from the In Utero tours. A Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp (like Kurt's). And a Crest 4801 Power Amp. You can tell by the lights on the equipment itself. Specifically on The Color and the Shape tour. And more recent shows I've seen.

If you watch Foo Fighters play "I Should Have Known" live on Letterman, Pat uses a double neck. The top neck is a four-string bass, and the bottom is a six-string guitar. They appear to have Fender heads, but I'm not exactly sure what brand and model it is, or if it's a custom.
