  1. Non U2 related, but does anyone know what kind of bass amps Kim Deal used on The Pixies reunion tour?
  2. I am Edge

    Hear me ROAR

    I swear that the photographers wait until he makes the most awkward face possible lol... It looks like his mother just walked on stage
  3. Ignore the face and just LOVE that Telecaster.
  4. Think that's a pretty sweet pic., personally

    I'm home on break from Uni. for a few weeks, and took the opportunity to run my Explorer through my brother's Marshall amp. while he's away.

    WOW.

    Can't say much else lol. The combination was pretty spectacular, although I wasn't using my pedal at the time. I'm definitely gonna try and take the opportunity to get some recordings done using that beast in the next few days if possible...

    EDIT - it's a Marshall MG30 DFX. I know digital amps get a bad rep. compared to true tube and valve amps, but I was pleasantly impressed, especially when I hooked it up to my Zoom GX1 pedal and unleashed general noisey mayhem. I recorded a few covers inc. New Year's Day, One and UTEOTW on my LP and The Fly on my Explorer, and tried to record videos of the latter two but I need to sync. them with audio and on UTEOTW the recording messed up during the solo and for The Fly I kinda lost my way and added lib post-solo which doesn't really suit the feel of the song. Another couple of attempts will be coming up in due course over the next few days
  5. Just going back to an oldish thread of conversation from a couple of weeks back, I've changed my mind per the Moment of Surrender solo - I'm now agreeing with Jeff, it sounds more Les Paulish than anything Why the change in heart? 'Cause the closest I've got to said tone (through accident more than anything) was using my Epi. LP through the MG30...
  6. I still have a Strat feeling on the MOS solo, but I obviously have no proofs nor proffesional ears to confirm it, o... Let the masters speak

    lol, I hope you're not including me in that mention of professional ears , I'm literally just going by the random experimentation I came up with. I've heard similar tones to that of the MoS solo coming from the neck pickup of my Strat BUT like I say, I hit upon something with my Epi. LP and it's the closest I've come to the tone concerned. Either way, it's a beautiful tone Edge came up with there
  8. Like I've already said, the only thing that I KNOW there was a Stratocaster on, was the studio (and Riad) couch.

    If I remember correctly, MOS was done in one go while in Fez. Most of the Fez pics show Edge with a Gibson acoustic, Rickenbacker 330/12-string and Casino.







    That's not to say that others weren't used but these seem to be the recurring guitars in the photos and U2.com vids. (along with the Les Paul Custom, tobacco Telecaster and White Falcon... the Fernando Retro Rocket being seen on a stand in the Fez pics...)



    The slide solo on MOS sound very 'Kite'-like. Kite was a Gretsch Country Gent into the Ampeg Scrabler distortion. I did see an Ampeg Scrambler in the Hanover Quay studio pictures...

  12. I was wondering the other day-what songs does the edge use the infinite guitar in?
