  1. Here's my transcription of North Star. All chords are right, but you'll find it a little insipid - The Edge does some licks here and there that add colour to the song.
    By the way, the E chord in the chorus should be played in the 4th fret, not open. Sounds much better and fits with the "ascending" melody.


    Enjoy





  2. Thanks a lot Sergio, I'll try it soon
  3. thanks sergio
  4. thanks for this, i'll have to listen to the song again to get the strum pattern down
  5. More new bass guitars for Adam Clayton. I am sure he must have beat The Edge at poker again, and took his winning in new gear.


    Warwick Star Bass II. Adam used this for "Get On Your Boots" during Friday's leg leg opening show in Turin.



    GOLD finish Warwick Reverso (Adam Clayton Signature model).
    (The natural is still being used also)

  6. I still think that gold is the ugliest colour I've seen on a guitar. The Star Bass II has a really cool design, too bad it's not coloured like,a fiesta red or something like that. I think that gold is hideous.

    Agreed, plus, against the pure white of his wardrobe? Something just doesn't look natural about all of it.
  8. Fiesta Red wins.


    Although I actually liked somehonw the white/gold combination. Some sort of Egyptian dressing if you know what I mean
  9. Anybody have a good recommendation for a compressor/sustainer pedal?

    (Something for a relatively tight budget, too- I probably wouldn't be interested in spending more than $120)

    I've looked into a few, and right now the two I'm most interested in are the MXR Super Comp, and the ElectroHarmonix Soul Preacher. The Soul Preacher stands out at me the most based on demos, but I would have to try that one out with my exact setup, because every review I've read has either been a 5-star, or a 2-star. People LOVE it with their rigs, or it totally destroys their sound.

    Any word?
  10. Once Eyes With Pride has been taken care of, I'd appreciate suggestions for good fuzz pedals. Though not a fuzz pedal, the EHX Big/Little Muff pedals seem excellent. Are they worth trying?

    I'll be honest- I don't own one- but from what I've read and from the ones I've tried- if you're buying a fuzz pedal, you want the EH Muff. There is literally no substitute, at all.

    Though it depends on what you want, exactly. A "fuzz" pedal, I would probably go with the Big Muff due to the fuzzier sound. But the Nano Muff is labeled as an overdrive pedal, and really doesn't do much more than a basic overdrive. Maybe to some, "fuzz" and "overdrive" are interchangable, but I've always thought Fuzz pedals provided a much...well...fuzzier sound than a basic overdrive pedal.

    If you're looking for overdrive specifically, I say dodge the Nano Muff and go for the Digitech Bad Monkey- picked one up recently and haven't stopped using it on my rig (playing a festival tomorrow afternoon in my town- it's clicked on for the entire first half of my set).

    If you've got a nice budget that suits it, and are truly looking for a "fuzzy" sound, get the Big Muff, and you'll never regret it.

    I have been using the Boss Cs-3 on my bass(it is a guitar pedal) and it does the job. I use it for heavy compression.
