Every musician has a musical personality, impossible to copy. I can't understand why some people keep secret about their rigs, like that Audioslave guy. I think it is quite silly.


    Some guitarist are "wired". If you take Mark Knopfler, or Carlos Santana, they can make any guitar sound like them. Also, dumb quewstion for Jeff. Are you and Dalas on a first name basis, or is it Mr. Schoo?

    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.


    We never get those in Michigan (or at least my part) but ocasionally theres one in Kentucky or somewhere down there, that you can slightly feel the aftershocks from.

    True, but I can tell when Knopler is playing a strat or a les paul.

  7. Sometimes I can't tell what kind of guitar Edge is playing when listening to a bootleg, especially the older ones like JT/Lovetown tours. I know lovetown he mostly used the clapton strats, but when listening to a JT concert, the only way I know he's using an LP on songs like Exit or God's Country is just because I KNOW he is. But I do think you're right about some guitarists being "wired" though.
  8. I know a few folks that didn't like the tone of the Clapton Stratocaster. I think Edge sounded great on that tour!

    The yellow one was used the most during that tour.






    My Favie of the Clapton's


    Red Clapton Strat goodness:


  9. The interesting thing about the Clapton Strats was that they were used on songs that he usually used Strats
    - "...Streets..."

    and some that he normally used a humbucker fitted guitar (Explorer or LP)
    - "I Will Follow"

    I do like the yellow Clapton (minus the sticker that is) - he played Desire and God Part II on it for heaven's sake! That defines uber

    Probably because this guitar has a somewhat fatter tone, I think it has an active circuit to boost some frequencies, to make it sound closer to the gibsons eric used to play. You will sure research, if you haven't yet.
  12. Yea I loved the tone on those babies. In fact, after I get my new strat, I'm putting in Gold Lace Sensors in my old one, and I'm going to get a pickup booster to get that tone! I hope it works, because that was one of the edges holy grails (that tone). I also love the "skeletor" clapton, I love the art on it, its awesome. The red one, I believe that's where the With a red guitar, on fire came from. Also, Bono changed it sometimes to With a red guitar, sometimes vanilla! referring to the yellow one, because Bono used to call it the vanilla guitar during that tour. There's a fun fact for ya!
