U2 FANS. HELP

[suggs137]

Adam Clayton's tone in U2s 1992 DC performance (to me) is superb. Take a listen. I don't think Clayton used many effects so it must be EQd a certain way? Is it me? Or is his recorded tone in the the vid nothing special to you guys? How do you think he EQd it? Interested in hearing your feedback.

Thanks.

I think he was using Aguilar stuff back then. check out tone hammer vids maybe you'll like that. eq'd w high mids & some growly growl. turn up your gain, turn down your master vol. turn up tone knob on p bass.

I'm not sure that Aguilar even existing back in 1992.

EDIT: That is definitely an SVT

It almost sounds like he's using a Fuzz-Wah. Not moving the pedal back and forth - just has it set mid way or something to that effect. If not I think that ^ method will garner similar results.

I just hear that as an overdriven tube sound with a lot of mids pushed, using a P-bass. It's a good, grindy sound that cuts through nice. If it is an SVT rig he's using, it's awfully hard to make any of them sound bad.

from another thread:

The only basses he used during the Achtung Baby album were a 73 precision,72 precision and a Les Paul Recording bass with SVT amps.During that tour (Zoo TV)he used the 73 Precision and a 70's jazz delux.Amp wise he had 2x Alemic F28 pre amps and 1 SVT 11-p.

During war he did use jazz basses and SVT's but i can only get and give accurate info from 91 onwards.
