    You can get the exact sound from the Line 6 Verbzilla, using the Octo setting on the pedal. There are plenty of demos on YouTube

    It's actually a mixture of a bunch of things, including reverse delay, shimmer, mod delay, and probably some reverb.

    But yeah the Line 6 Verbzilla will get you pretty much there, (to the guy who originally asked), about 85% of the sound is shimmer alone. The rest of it is for the huge fanatics that need it exactly on par! But yeah the shimmer alone will do just fine.

    thanks for that!

    Well, I'll have to save money for a Verbzilla then!
  4. I heard back from Warwick and this is the Warwick bass guitars that Adam owns:

    Adam has:

    2x Warwick Starbasses 4string Goldtop
    2x Warwick Reversos natural
    1x Warwick Reversos Gold
    1x Warwick Reversos Gold reversed headstock
    1x Warwick Reversos Gold with woods like Stryker Ziricote
    1x Warwick Reversos Candy apple red
    1x Streamer Gold Metalflake Brandenburg Gate
    1x Streamer 4 string Neckthrough Birdseye Maple



    I asked about the Streamer used for "Electrical Storm" in Barcelona and was told:



    ...the bass you are requesting was tryout gear. I think we sent
    him 12 different basses and models over in this time for try out
    that he can find out what he likes…

    So it seems the black Stryker and the Buzzard, both seen in U2.com footage during the making of NLOTH, were on loan.

    And then there were the Reverso proto-types. That is the story thus far.
  5. Gotta love the sight and sound of that 1966 Fireglo Rickenbacker 330 13-string on "Even Better Than The Real Thing".

    Denver show was fantastic. These shots were from the May 24 show in Salt Lake City






  6. That pics are real killers, Jeff. You were really close to the action once again


  7. The pics of Edge and the Ric were not mine. But I was that close for the Denver shows.


    And hopefullly will be close up for some of the other shows I am attending.


  8. That picture, if memory serves, was in Propaganda and dates back to 2000 era, from around the time of the recording of ATYCLB

    Not all of those are Edge's, I see some bass guitars... that acoustic up front is Adam's acoustic bass. There are other pics of Adam with that bass, in Propaganda, around the same era.

  9. Yep, that's the bass he used for the Sweetest Thing videoclip, isn't it? And a nice one it is

    Which other shows will you attend this summer, Jeff?


  12. Some go to Hawaii for vacation. I go to U2 shows. As they don't tour every year, in most cases it's every 4 years, it gives me time to save up some vacation time and money.
