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.

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.

I know Scott. It is the look and the sound. If it sounded shit, he wouldn't spend the money. You on the other hand DONT know Scott and are making judgement base on what? Jealousy? Or to just pass judgement?
I agree that most of what Adam plays can be done with a Precision and/or Jazz bass. But he's choosen to add other colors to his sound, particularly during this tour. There are a number of new (newly seen on tour) bass guitars on the U2:360 tour.
That said, there is nothing wrong for one that plays in a tribute to get similar or the same tools to get similar to the same sounds. Just seems you want to talk down the purchase or berate him for making it.
That is just odd.

I always said I think it is ok to buy it. What I am saying is that people, not just this guy, play these weird instruments because of their looks and not because of their sound. It certainly doesn't sound bad, but it certainly doesn't sound any "better" or very different from a good old precision.
Enough said.

Lol I think some of the reason Edge got the explorer was because it looked weird. It wouldn't have "spoken" to him in the shop if it didn't look like that.

Look might have attracted him to pick it up but he's gone on record stating that he like the feel of it and that played well... well enough that it detracted him from what he went there looking for, which was a 6-string Rickenbacker.

true, but i'm just saying he wouldn't have picked it up had it not been for it's peculiar design. If it was a black and white strat he wouldn't have looked at it probably. I heard he was looking for a les paul too, probably browsing for whatever.
