    Trust me, these guys are the propeller heads when it comes to getting the U2 sound perfect.



    They are 'something' heads.
  2. Originally posted by LikeASong[..]OK thanks for your efforts Indeed, Edge is so fucking genius that anyone can get his sound perfectly right. I haven't seen yet a decent cover of Bad... That echo, that delay... Impossible


    By the way, anyone knows which guitar is this? It seems to have the neck of a Stratocaster and the body of a Telecaster. WTF??

    The core tone of Mysterious Ways is the Korg A3 rack unit and the SPC-01 card punched up to patch # 76 "Funk Wah". Start there and a bit of editing and et voila - Mysterious Ways.

    The Tele pic is that of a Fender Telecaster Deluxe. The Tele Deluxe's have (2) humbuckers and a Strat-style neck. T'is all stock.

    Fantastic, thanks and thanks...

    Checked my clips? They're on previous page... http://u2start.com/topic/3991///280/11/#118495


  4. I downloaded your clips. I can sing along with them now - best backing tracks yet I've heard. And maybe play a little guitar too...as I have one.

    I didn't upload that backing tracks... Even though I agree, they're fantastic. Specially the One Tree Hill one
  6. Originally posted by anstratdubh1979The Artisan looks great. They were only made for 6 years. So while it might not be worth the same as a 1958-1960 LP, it will appreciate in value as there were not too many made.

    I'd love to HEAR the thing. Sound clips?

  7. Whats the most expensive guitar in Edges arsenal?

    Hard to say for certain...

    In some older interviews. He's mentioned that he paid WAY too much for the Gretsch White Falcon (seen in the Pride video and Rattle and Hum). But as the latest video footage shows him with a different White Falcon, the original might have been a flood victim.

    Dallas told me that they paid "a lot" for the cherry Gibson SG (used for Elevation).

    Some of his guitars are WORTH a lot as he's played them. This is evident by the last two Icon's of Music auctions.

    cherry Gibson SGs go for a pretty penny.....
  10. Even knock offs. A friend of mine got a 61 reissue epiphone, and it cost him over 600 bucks.

    A "vintage" cherry SG is expensive. As are rarer coloured "vintage" SG's. There are a few SG models that are expensive.

    Epi SG's are not so great... If the Epiphone is $600.00, one might save and hold out for a Gibson SG Classic (w/P-90 pickups). They are $990.00. It is similar to the SG used by Pete Townshend on Live At Leeds, Isle of Wight... early 1970's era.

    A Gibson 1961 reissue is about 2089.00 (musicians friend).

    A SG Standard reissue with maesro tailpiece, similar to The Edge's 1966 goes for $3199.00

    SG Historic Reissue is about 3K.

    And the Angus Young is about 2300.00

  12. Talking of SGs... The other day, on the Rock In Rio festival I saw a guitar player of the spanish group "Estopa" who was playing (apparently, I was about 30 meters away and couldnt watch the brand) a Gibson SG which was GREEN, a lima or UFO green... Do you know if Gibson makes green guitars??
