Title says it all... what was Mr. Clayton playing in this very, very early video from U2's pre-stadium days? I don't know **** about non-fender or Musicman basses... looks kind of Alembic-y with the through-body neck, right? What is it? If it's the same bass he used to record this it certainly sounds nice...
EDIT: ah right, here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GyTdo1nGO0

But it sounds more like line signal overload to me than the actual amp farting. Might even be the video audio itself as it sounded like Bono's voice was a little distorted in places.
