    73 has the black knobs.


  2. 1972 or 1973. I have heard it referred to by both vintages. Silly Dallas and Edge are trying to confuse us!
  5. Another thing - Edge is using a Strat. for SBS, looks similar to the one he used on PopMart for ISHFWILF/AIWIY/Bad, if not the same? Might make sense 'cause all of them were tuned 2 steps down to standard D (correct me if I got the terminology wrong) - check the last 10 seconds as Bono's on his knees, you see Edge in the background...



  6. I am sure it's wrote down somewhere, for insurance purposes. But other than that - I don't no that it isn't that they aren't sure or not more than they probably don't care as much as us fans do. =O)

    Edge is using the 1962 Stratocaster (tobacco finish) for SBS and Pride. I think it is the one used for I Still Haven't Found... during Popmart. But notice he's using one of the black and white Strats for ISHFWILF this tour.

    What tuning is said tobacco 1962 Strat? I will have to check the video and toy around with it at home later.

    The Tobacco finish Strat. is tuned a whole step down (not two steps like I said originally lol), e.g. SBS is in Am these days, whilst Pride is in A (which carries on into MLK) and Edge hasn't changed the way he plays either - why he would in the first place is beyond me lol. I didn't see what he's using for ISHFWILF but I'll take your word for it - it's still in Bb as it was on Vertigo so I'm guessing it's still capo on 2nd fret

    What sort of bass is that? A Warwick?

    It is a WARWICK Stryker. Nice bass, eh?
  11. I just ordered a used Gibson BFG in red. Cheap but needs a complete rewiring. Guess I'll try a Duncan P- Rails in the bridge position. Ah, the feeling to work on a guitar again... can't wait to have it here.

  12. And for todays' installment of "Jeff geeks out about guitars"...

    Seems Edge has (2) Country Gents this tour. Seems the 1963 is still out there. I have to double check the video clips but I think that is the one being used for Magnificent.

    The 1963 Country Gent used for COBL during Vertigo had (2) FilterTron p'ups.



    There is another - Looks to be a 1964-1966 era Gretsch Country Gent, judging by the SuperTron pickup in the neck position.



    SuperTrons are similar to FilterTrons but are a bit 'hotter'. Would make sense to use them on COBL this tour. Slide bits might stand out a lot more with that. (Although there are slide bits in "Magnificent")

    Anywho...
