  1. Originally posted by anstratdubh1979More 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.

    The Lakland Joe Osborn was used during the Elevation tour. As was the Precision-like Lakland Bob Glaub model.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    For the 2005 "Vertigo Tour" Adam is using four US Made Daryl Jones models:

    (2) - Natural Jones with custom black blacks and no binding w/ maple necks.

    (1) - Teal Green Metallic Jones with custom abalone blocks and no binding w/ maple neck.

    (1) - Gold Jones with custom abalone blocks w/maple neck [Adam hasn't taken delivery of this one yet].

    During the Elevation 2001 Tour, Adams used the following:
    (2) US made, Joe Osborn signature models - one sunburst, one natural
    (1) US made, Bob Glaub signature – natural finish.

    Thanks.
    Dan

    Some old crappy Yamaha amp., don't know the wattage though - my brother got it about 10+ years ago when he bought his Yamaha Strat. (it was part of a starter pack thing), and it's not too shabby but compared to decent amps, it's pretty weedy. I'm also using a Zoom G1X multi-effects box with expression pedal, it's not great but it does the trick for now
  6. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DRUMS. THE PICCY BELOW IS MY FAVORITE OF LARRY'S DRUM KITS... THE POPMART MAIN STAGE YAMAHA 30TH ANNIVERSARY MAPLE CUSTOM KIT.

    Bass drum was sparkle gold. Rack tom sparkle red. Floor toms were both a blue/silver fade sparkle and in true Larry form... he left the Brady snare drum in natural SheOak finish. LOVELY kit.

    I like the white one (sorry, don't know that much abt drums) used in the early days (right?) anyway, it was deffinately used on the Elevation & Vertigo tours

    I couldn't help but notice the pics of Edge with his orange & green Fernandes. There is a purple one in a music store in my city... its purple, but still badass... (its 'badass' because of Edge playing one)

    Edit: There is a purple one in a music store in my city... its a "Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster" sorry... here's a pic:

    Larry didnt' have white drums until his b-stage kit for Popmart.

    Early days was the red Premier Olympic kit, that was a the Hall of Fame in 2003.
    Boy was a black 5 piece Tama Fibre Star kit with single headed toms.
    October was a black 4 piece Tama Fibre Star kit with single headed toms.
    War was the black Yamaha 9000 series kit.
    The Unforgettable Fire tour was a black Yamaha 9000 Series kit.
    The Joshua Tree and Love Town tours was yet another black kit, a Yamaha Turbo Tour series kit.
    Zoo tours... still black! A black Yamaha Maple Custom kit
    Popmart was the sparkle (different for each drum) 30th Anniversary Maple Custom kit. The B-stage was a white sparkle Yamaha 30th Anniversary Maple Custom kit
    Elevation was the white mica finish Yamaha Beech Custom
    and Vertigo... a white mica finish Yamaha Beech Custom Absolute

    The J Mascis Jazzmaster looks good. The Elvis Costello all walnut wood one looks AND sound great too. Saw Elvis play it a few weeks back when opening for The Police.
