U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979[..]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.

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.

Hey, if it was edible I wouldn't have a problem with it...

Hahahah... oral fixation there, Harry? Just merely hungry?

Just kidding lol. I just anything shaped like something edible can't be taken seriously as was the PopMart way, I guess

Careful Harry, them's fightin' words! Hahahaha...

How's the guitar playing going? Any new gear? Any dreams/plans for any new gear soon?

Heh, fighting words my arse

By the way, it's 2:15am so god knows why I'm still awake but hey ho, I feel like staying on the PC! Yeah, the guitar's going ok, I'm meaning to do a couple of covers soon enough (perhaps re-runs of UTEOTW, The Fly and maybe WGRYWH? But the problem is I need to edit a backing track so as to try and slip enough space for a solo ). No new gear I'm afraid, and that's very unlikely until I get some money saved lol, but as we stand at the moment, money goes as quickly as I make it so it's a bit desperate at the moment. I have plenty of dreams though lol! A Boss GT-6 would suit me down to the ground, as would an Explorer although, as we've discussed previously, I'll need to get hold of a generous ladyfriend for that

Which reminds me, before I go any further, have you got a version of the Fly backing track but á la Elevation era? i.e. in Ab rather than Eb?

How's your guitar playing going?

EDIT - I'm not gonna even bother responding to the 2nd post above this lol

EDIT (2) - I'm off, I'm knackered lol. Speak to you guys later

Probably shortly after I get it i'll swap out the white pickguard and pickup covers and knobs and pickups switcher (should have used commas there) for black ones, so I can have a replica of Edge's blackie. I'm excited!
