  2. On our own gear, a wee shout-out for guitarfetish.com - don't know if any of you guys use/know of them; ordered a pair of overwound humbuckers (called Crunchy Pats), delivery (inc. shipping from US to UK) was c. $50 in total and they've given my dear beloved Explorer a new lease of life. First proper fit-out for any of my guitars, and I can't believe how much difference a good set of p/ups has made (yep, joining the rest of the world), especially a good set of p/ups that haven't torn my bank account a new backside!
  3. I appreciate the post WojBhoy, but I can't find a clean closeup on/of the pickups.
    They're FilterTron's but I don't know what kind.
  4. Not sure if it's the same one - he's been playing the Street on several guitars as well throughout the years.


    He's also using it for Still Haven't Found, here's a clear view:

    These are all newer guitars.
    Edge, I think, decided to leave the vintages at home after 360.
    Did you see the rain in Russia?
  6. long shot, but does anybody know the record for most guitars used in a single U2 show?

    My money is on a Vertigo show.
  7. Think so too
  8. Really? All new guitars?
  9. Advert for the Warwick Custom Shop Adam Clayton Signature model




    New Bass Release – The Warwick Adam Clayton Signature Model…

    Warwick’s cooperation with Adam Clayton of U2 goes back to 2008, when Adam contacted Warwick-founder and managing director Hans-Peter Wilfer about building a bass with his specific specifications and requirements. In 2010 the first Adam Clayton Signature model, the Warwick Reverso was born.

    In 2013 Adam Clayton bought a new Warwick Streamer CV featuring a P-pickup. He liked this bass so much that he expressed the desire to make this his new signature-instrument. From this collaboration, the Warwick Adam Clayton Streamer CV Signature model was born. Adam showed and played this bass at the record release for U2’s new album “Songs of Innocence”. In addition, Adam uses his new Warwick signature bass for recordings and live gigs all around the world and you can see Adam playing his new Signature bass on their 2015 Innocence + Experience Tour. This Masterbuilt beauty is now available from the Warwick Custom Shop in Markneukirchen, Germany.

    The new Warwick Adam Clayton Streamer CV Signature model is characterized by the following special details:

    – Maple machine heads
    – Maple trussrod cover
    – One piece maple neck
    – Maple fingerboard with beautiful black block-inlays
    – Brass nut and bridge
    – Black/White/Black Custom Shop pickguard
    – Passive Seymour Duncan P Quarter Pound (SSPB-3) pickup
    – Passive MEC electronics
    – Cream white high-gloss finish
    – Selected swamp-ash body, extra light

    With his new Streamer CV Signature, Adam Clayton proves once more his intimate affection to Warwick instruments. We at Warwick feel particularly distinguished by Adam Clayton with this new signature-instrument.

    In the foreseeable future we will report about the “little brother”, the Rockbass Adam Clayton Artist Line bass.

    No worries. Only thing I would follow-up with; per http://www.gretschguitars.com/products/index.php?partno=2400400806, if they're the stock ones, they're 'High Sensitive Filter'Tron™' p/ups.

    (obviously if they're not the stock ones then yeah, no idea haha )

    In other news, love the finish on the LP he used for Electric Co. the other night. Gorgeous.
