    My Spanish isn't too good, but here's the site I found it on


    The picture initially came from a 2001 issue of Guitar One magazine. That picture was taken in San Diego during the Elevation tour.

    At this point, that picture is somewhat outdated as gear has come and gone since then.

    The graphic mention OD-1. It was in fact an OD-2 but that is not presently being used.

    Some of the changes off the top of my head?:
    - Bradshaw switchers and controllers are out - Skrydstrup switchers and controllers have been used since Vertigo tour.

    - OUT: TC Elect. Parametric EQ, Boss OD2, Lovetone Meatball and Lovetone Doppelganger, MXR Dyna-Comp, Ampeg Scrambler, EH Big Muff... are all out.

    - IN: Line 6 DM4 & DM4 Pro, Electro-Harmonix POG, Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun, DBA Harmonic Transformer, DBA Soundwave Breakdown, Digitech Synth Wah, Durham Sex Drive, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, Boss CS-3 compressor, Skrydstrup "Bufferooster", Lexicon PCM80 Digital Effects Processor, Lexicon PCM70 Digital Effects Pro...

    He didn't make that graphic. That one came from Guitar One. Unless he worked for them and made the graphic for them.

    Coming soon - It's out. Premiered at the NAMM convention in Anaheim in January. Scott, the bass player in Joshua Tree (in Los Angeles) bought the one they had at NAMM.

    First he got one of his Precision's refinished in lavendar sparkle like Adam's and NOW... he's got a Warwick Reverso like Adam's. Now THAT my friends, is Tribute-Adam dedication!


    Your talking about a totally different model.The Starbass is a hollowbody.

    That's a rich bastard. You don't need a 5000 dollar bass to sound like Adam, nor do you need 5000 dollars worth of gear to sound like Edge. Kind of ridiculous.


    I am quite sure this is not about sound. I am certain that Adam didn't come up with this signature model because of the sound either. It is all about looking cool. Also, if the guy has the money, why not? But I agree with you, there are many better ways to spend 5000 dollars.

    True, it's about the whole "adam" look. But yeah, there are WAY better ways to spend it.
  6. is there anything out there for guitar effects systems than can save a shit load of customized settings?
    cuz the Me70 only has 36 memory slots, but u need like 4 for a song usually so atm i can only have presests for 9 songs

    No. I'm talking about the Reverso and Scott from Joshua Tree bought one.

    It's inaccurate stating is isn't about sound or is about look only.

    He liked the Stryker after seeing/hearing some footage of The Who. (This per a conversation I had with and aritist rep at Warwick).

    John Entwistle of The Who used Buzzards and Strykers.

    Adam bought one of each - both black. Both seen in the U2.com videos that were posted near the end of the NLOTH sessions.

    As the tour drew closer, Adam went to Warwick and worked with them on developing the Reverso. Which is why there were various versions on the tour. Ultimately setting on a single pickup version that is the production model.

    Do you need a Warwick Reverso to sound like Adam? NO. You can do much of what Adam does on a Precision and Jazz bass.

    I don't think one HAS to have a Mercedes or BMW. They are fine cars but do you HAVE to have one? No. But if you like it and can afford it - why not. Same with the Reverso. Nothing wrong with buying it if you want and have the means to do so?


  9. I am 100% sure that if he had only heard the performance he wouldn't bother even to find out know what bass that was. If the guy has the money and likes it, ok, go buy it, but don't tell me that it is because of the sound, because it is not.

    True I guess. I mean if I was living on my own and I had a mortgage to pay off and all that jazz, I wouldn't be spending that much on a guitar, but I don't know this guys financial state. Right now, I'm only 18 (soon 19) and still living with my parents, using my part time job money to do what I want with. Right now I'm saving up for a John Mayer strat, so I geuss it's the same idea. Even probably dumber actually, seeing as how I already have an american strat, but there are reasons why both would be handy, and why I'm buying the John Mayer strat.

    BEFORE buying the JOHN MAYER Stratocaster... Check out the ERIC JOHNSON Stratocaster. They Mayer may be fine. But you might find the Eric Johnson that much better.


  12. And i was talking about the Starbass II not the Stryker.The Stryker is ugly,wait till you see the custom Starbass.
