    Yes, that'd work. I thought you meant if you were reading a tab where it tells you to play the open string on B with a capo on 1st fret and then the 4th fret on the B string, obviously you'd have to transpose the fretted note down to keep the same key.
  2. Basically when you have no capo, you play an E chord on the first and second frets. If you had a capo on teh first fret, you'd play the e chord a fret higher to make up for the change in pitch, so it would be on the 2nd and 3rd frets. Just compare tabs for the album version of End Of The World to the live version. Album version = no capo, main riff is played with an E power chord in the regular E power chord position (9th fret), live Edge throws a capo on the 3rd fret (my guess is so its easier for Bono to sing - he hates singing in E) to raise the pitch, and the main riff is played on the 12th fret. E power chord but 3 frets higher.

    Hope that helps.
  3. That is some seriously awesome bass guitar, man. I have officially fallen in love
  4. For those looking for lots of Edge tones in one unit and have heard about the Axe FX, this could be your time to get on board.

    They are introducing the Axe FX II. Price on the Axe FX II is $2199.

    and

    This means that there are some that will be dumping Axe FX and Axe FX Ultra's on eBay as they want to upgrade to the Axe FX II.

    You might be able to get a decent deal on one. Just thought I'd share.

  5. Adam rocking the Candy Apple Red "Reverso" in Mexico City tonight. (May 11, 2911)


  6. Great, great, great looking...
  7. Great!
  9. All of this talk of Adam's Candy Apple Red Reverso, after it's unveiling at the show in Mexico City... One can get a Warwick 'Reverso' on a budget... sort of...

    Price for the Made in Korea is $1299.00, instead of $7000.00 on can get a made in Korea Warwick Reverso in Honey Sunburst or in Metallic Gold.

    METALLIC GOLD
    Adam has a couple of Metallic Gold made in Germany Reverso's. This would be it's more affordable cousin.

    It's not as cheap as a Made In Mexico Fender Jazz bass but this is also a more quality instrument than a Made in Mexico Fender Jazz or... God forbid... Fender Squier Jazz bass.

    So if it is an Adam-like Adam worthy 'Reverso' you want... saving a few $$ and buying the Made in Korea 'Reverso' in Metallic Gold might be the way to go. Just a thought...
  10. I love that Warwick Bass, especially the candy red model! Any idea how much they're going to retail for in the UK?


  11. The Candy Apple Red is a Custom Shop model and thus far isn't a production model.

    I've heard you can have the Warwick Custom shop build one... the price I heard was in U.S. dollars, was around $8,000 USD.

    BUT, one could also buy the $1,200.00 made in Korea Reverso, swap the pickups out the the Duncan P bass pickups and have it refinished in Candy Apple Red.

    A bit of work and a bit of money, but far cheaper than the Custom Shop.

    If you need the name of a good finish guy, I can recommend a guy in San Diego, CA.

    I play the part of Dallas Schoo for Joshua Tree Tribute in Los Angeles. We use Marty Bell for refinishing.

    Marty refinished a Line 6 Variax 700 acoustic for Chas, in silver sparkle, that The Edge would mistake for his own. Sim.

    Mary also refinished a Fender Precision bass for Joshua Tree bassist Scott Jones in Adam approved lilac purple sparkle. Once again, Adam might mistake it for being his own.

    Marty also refinished my Fernandes black to match Edge's WOWY Fernandes.

    Long story short, if it's a refinish job you want and want it done right... Marty Bell is THE guy.
  12. ^Ah okay, quite pricey then! Though i'll definately consider getting the Korean model and changing the pick-ups! Thanks for the advice!
