    the close up of the Lakland is from Vertigo.

    Elevation he used Bob Glaub models (looks like Fender Precision bass) and Joe Osbourne model (similar to a Fender Jazz)

    Other than the Fenders, (Vertigo tour) Adam had (4) Darryl Jones model Laklands. Again, similar to Jazz Bass in pickup configuration but a bit more flair to the body. There were (2) natural finish, the metallic teal and the metallic gold.
  3. From the pics it looks like he uses the necj pick up full and the bridge on about half and the tone almost full. Most people uses Jazz Basses with all on full.

    Haha, definitely not ordinary. I imagine the trouble his tech has to llet the knobs that way...or maybe Adam just turns until it sounds good to him. He doesn't seem to be that worried about tone.

    off with the horns and on with the show...
  9. More on the Darryl Jones Lakland vs Joe Osborne Lakland... What is the difference?

    The Darryl Jones Signature bass looks similar to the Lakland Osborn models, but has more curve to its contouring and dramatic cutaways that add to its vintage styling. Darryl personally selected a pair of passive j-bass pickups designed by Aero Instrument. Three knobs control the tone: Bridge Volume, Neck Volume and Tone.

    Pretty much simply jazz copies...the curves don't affect the timbre. The pick ups affect a lot, so there may be a difference there.

    I don't know that the slight difference in curves or wood wouldn't have some effect. How big of a difference, it would be worth an A/B comparison.

    The shape and density of wood can not be under-estimated in it's effect on tone.

    But yes, the Osborne and Jones Lakland's are essentially Jazz style basses but with modern touches, I suppose.

    I think it was the Orsborne model the one used on the elevation tour? with the natural finish? Ohh, that one sounds sooooooooooo good on Slane...on Boston it is nothing special...these recordings are not a good way to get to know the sound os a particular instrument. But if it sounds like on Slane on the "real life" it is miles ahead of the fenders.
