U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by bcgdHey Scotto, you'll dig this! I found these pics on the Lakland website. They probably give the most insight into Adam's sound and effect/guitar usage on specific songs. I would say that these pics give us more than the info from the two interviews that keep getting reposted everywhere.

I love Adam's "idiot proof" setlist complete with color coding for his basses and what effects are to be used.

Apparently nicknames help too. Note the designated switch for the bass Edge uses on "40"

Again the bass Edge uses on "40" gets special labeling

The tech bench for the "Poshest member of U2" complete with espresso machine.

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979Why yes, they do make green. Perhaps it's one of the SG Robot guitars?

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]No no no I knew about that new guitars and about THAT metalic green colour. The one I speak about was VERY green, like the movies' UFOs. Like that:

Maybe it was a custom or a modification from the guitar player himself. Or maybe it wasn't a Gibson at all (we all know about imitations etc), even tho he was a professional guita player, playing on a international festival; I would expect him to carry an origianl Gibson (they all had Fenders, Ibanez's, Les Paul's...).

I wonder if Adam has an endorsement from the cappucino maker company, as he does for bass guitars, strings, and amps...

I just noticed the grinder on the right side. Classic! Now the question is are they vintage? I've heard the vintage ones sound better than the new ones.

Hey, it's U2 related! U2 loved The Clash. Edge inducted them into the R&R HOF, and Bono sang snippets of "Rock The Casbah" during "Sunday Blood Sunday" on the Vertigo tour.

Gotta love The Clash. Okay, you don't "gotta" but ya SHOULD!
