Hi folks!
Anyone knows what hollowbody bass is "playing" Adam Clayton on the U2 video "Get on your boots"?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ7zKeYhU_8
Looks like could be a classic sunburst Gibson EB-2, a DeArmond or a Guild... not really sure. Looks gorgeous!
Thanks in advance. |

Quite close in terms of sound to a EB-2, isn't true? |

I had a '67 EB-2 some time ago, I remember it as one of the best looking... and unusable bass ever done, so my GAS is under control with the Rivoli too.  |

Sitting in the mix well | | | | | Now that we solved that mystery...
Does anybody know what he's using for effects on this one? Sounds like a fuzz and either wah or flange to me. |
