  1. The Explorer may be Edge best known guitar, even though it's not been his main guitar for many many years. In fact, other than UltraViolet, it was not used on the ZOO tours and it sat out all of PopMart. Even now, it get a song or two per night. It's distinctive shape being one thing that stands out in most fans minds.

    For Adam, one that stands out is the yellow Auerswald. Auerswald is the German luthier that makes all of the odd shape guitars for Prince. Interestingly enough, most fans remember this bass, even though it was used ONLY during PopMart. Here's some pictures of Adam and his A. Clayton Custom.

    He could use this again...even if only on POP songs. Anyway, they became so rare these days.

    Would be cool to see Adam pull this one out. Maybe MOFO as a POP-related encore section?

    I loved that bass, too, and if he used it again I'd be all for it
    though I think (really not sure) I read that he said the bass was part of the whole stage set up or something and thus wouldn't be seen again..

    I think that out of the context of the POPmart environment it wouldn't look nearly as cool.

    EDIT - fully agree with what Bret said in addition to my general dislike of the bass regardless lol...

    5.8 I think he said earlier on...scary shit, I daresay? We don't get much in the way of bad quakes in the UK; the last big tremor we had, I slept through it lol...

    Now they are calling it a 5.4. It was enought o get our attention. The builiding I work in is a bit old. So that made it a bit more of "a ride". But so far, no big aftershocks.

    Tsk Tsk Harry! Stand up for the Auerswald!

    That said, it was probably more of a 'gimmick' bass than bought for great tone. Hence, we've not seen it since.

    I thought it looked cool.
