THE FACTS ABOUT "MYSTERIOUS WAYS" AND THE EDGE USING THE 1966 MAPLEGLO FINISH RICKENBACKER.
Early on in the tour it was tunend to E-Flat. I tested this when I got home. I picked up my Clapton Strat, which I keep in E-flat, and played along to the YouTube clip of "Mysterious Ways" from Chicago in the Spring of 2005. Please login or register to view this link
It was also played in E-flat during the 2nd leg of the tour, as evidenced by the Croke Park footage. Please login or register to view this link
This also confirms what Dallas told me about the two different Rics being used.
BUT that later change in the tour as I found by watching the November 2005 clip from Atlanta. In that clip (link below) The Edge's 1966 Mapleglo Ric was tuned to standard tuning / "E". Please login or register to view this link
Australia on the last leg, was in Standard E/tuning: Please login or register to view this link
Closing night in Hawaii was also in standard tuning. Please login or register to view this link
So why would he continue to use two different Rics once he'd gone to playing "MYSTERIOUS WAYS" in standard / E tuning? Why not as he's already been playing that guitar for the tune during the tour.
I'm sorry, why the new thread? It seems like the same topic? Anyhoozle, are we limiting this to guitar or can us bass players find some love here too?
The first topics title was aimed at Edge's guitars. The topic grew into some general guitar/gear questions. It also began to cover gear used by some other bands.
As I was answering many folks questions, someone suggested that I open a Q&A topic.
So for this topic, it is U2 gear (Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry) or any other gear related questions and such.
My apologies to REMY or the moderators if I did the wrong thing by starting this topic. I did so as a few other suggested.
And there is plenty of 'love' for bass players. I will answer any questions that I know the answer and research those that I don't. It helps me learn more and it's fun for me. (and cheaper than stamp collecting)
This isn't really a question... (great way to start off this post...) but what the hey? I thought that Edge purchased his Yellow & Black LP right after The JT release... So why is it in this Please login or register to view this link Hey, it is a question after all! Okay.. too excited... bring it down now.... thats better.
As you said bass...I am almost 100% sure that that golden bass of Adam is not an original fender color. I have my doubts about the green too. They don't look vintage at all. ANy clues?

I like the green one the most! (I could care less weather or not an instrument is 'vintage'...)
btw, sorry, I guess I couldn't answer the question... just my 2 cents...

I like it too, specially because of the damaged paintjob and the original neck. It is my favorite.

Yep. Both are vintage and both colors were stock colours. "Shoreline Gold" and "Sherwood Green".
As Adam lost a number of items in the flood at HQ in 2002 (whilst U2 wre i New Orleans playing the Super Bowl).
After losing a number of instruments, and as Dallas was already shopping for some replacement guitars for The Edge, Adam had Dallas keep his eyes open. The fruits of this labor were finding the 1964 Sherwood Green finish and the 1965 Shoreline Gold Fender Jazz bass guitars for Adam. Adam preferring the black 1970's era fret markers, both bass guitars were cusomized; having their 1960's era rosewood fretboard necks swapped out for 1970's era, all maple necks with the black fret markers.

Adam also started using a natural finish Lakland "Daryl Jones" model around the same time too. As the Joe Osborne and Bob Glaub models from the Elevation tour have not been seen since Elevation, there is a good chance they were 'flood victims' too. Lakland, liking the high profile of having their bass played on a major tour of a major band and Adam taking a liking to the natural finish "Daryl Jones" model, Lakland made a gold and metallic green Daryl Jones for Adam.
Here is a copy of an e-mail I got from Dan Lakin of Lakland guitars early in the Vertigo tour:
"Hi Jeffery,
You can get a bass like Adam plays from our US line of basses. The Skyline Series offers the bass in lake placid blue, black sparkle, and white pearl.
Adam has -
2- Natural Jones with custom black blacks and no binding
1- Teal Green Metallic with custom abalone blocks and no binding
1- Gold with custom abalone blocks (he hasn't taken delivery of this one yet).
The list price on a US Darryl Jones in $4600.
A Skyline lists for $1599.
No plans for a Adam Clayton model.
Thanks,
Dan"
So there's a bit about Adam's Vertigo era 1960's era Shoreline Gold and Sherwood Green Fender Jazz bass guitars and their subsequent replacements "Daryl Jones" models made byh Lakland.
I like it too, specially because of the damaged paintjob and the original neck. It is my favorite.
The neck, as mentioned in my previous email was not original, as he had the rosewood fretboard maple necks swapped out for `70's era all maple with black block fret markers.
I agree that both the Sherwood Green and Shoreline Gold have a lot of 'vibe' and 'character' to them.Keeping in mind that both were at least 40 years old by the time of the Vertigo tour... those two bass guitars have lots of hours of play and music history behind them.

The green one doesn't have the 70s style markings on the fretboard...I thought it was an original neck.
