[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1455106008' post='2975880'] There's one song on an early Red Rocks vid where the Edge plays the bass. [/quote] That is "40", traditionally the last song of a show - he also plays bass on it on the "war" album

Perhaps the OP should revisit anonymously and give them another chance, given Carl's apology and explanation

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1454854123' post='2973531'] Careful what you wish for, I said that yesterday as I got a bit of a scuff on my new TC RS112 the other day and said 'really I should get some covers'. My wife said 'Oh I will make you one' which is her normal answer - she makes hammocks for pets out of fleece, so I said, no thanks, I don't need a pink cupcake cover. Then later I went into the hall to get my stuff for the gig, and found this: [IMG]http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/alienrat/IMG_0869_zpsjk8nlv2z.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] Good for dissuading light fingered folk Who would steal that ?

I have the yellow one and its faded to butterscotch brown quickly I'd choose sunburst if I had the choice again

I wouldn't - there is no coil tap I know for sure Would a cavity photo give you the answer?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1454933177' post='2974252'] Saw them at Bristol Colston Hall in 1836. Great band (it wasn't Pino on bass but I cannot remember who it was) [/quote] Was he playing acoustic double bass ? I'm sure Leo hadn't invented electric bass at that point

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1454931896' post='2974230'] Might not be the most difficult bassline in the world, but New Years Day is a great one nonetheless. I think AC has the common sense to realise just how good both his [/quote] It's what made me pick up a bass, along with jamerson

I've got one It's very good indeed - the preamp has a wide range and fretting is good

True, and I do agree although I was only considering music and taste here

No, he's a bass player

an unimaginative or 'bad' bass player until he releases a solo album that showcases the full range of his skills. [quote] He hasn't always helped himself mind, I remember an interview in Guitarist ( or possibly Bassist) in the 90s where he spoke about using sequencers and loopers on U2's most recent tours and essentially miming for large parts of the show. I have wondered if those comments are the fountainhead of a lot of the derision aimed in his direction. [/quote] I didn't know that part - you may be right

Good bass lines - I always had a thing about their female backing singer Edit: Katie humble https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_West_(Go_West_album)

I've been listening I've been listening to "bad" off a u2 live album today in my ongoing efforts to avoid idiots at work, he gets slagged a lot but he is good at mixing simple root notes with lyrical passages as it fits the need

On Mario super kart ? Pretty impressive paw work there

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1454838648' post='2973316'] Me too. Of course my Dad refuses to believe me as they are supposedly beyond human hearing! I can also comfortably hear the doggie tone at the end of Sgt Pepper. I just took the test - 17,181. I'm 34. [/quote] They are often variable / inaccurate and the lower end does seem to work better on cats - I hear them too

13197 so not too bad I'm 46 and listen to a lot of headphone music at work due to idiot abundance levels

I only take two basses and a zoom pedal plus two leads so all in gig bag

I had one - 62 ri from 83 No router points, very tidy

Always the precision, OM night audience love the battered look and the tone. Might give the Hohner a B2 a go next time just to shake it up.

Is it "one louder"?

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1454519051' post='2970457'] Was lucky enough to see them last February at a private 70th birthday party as a surprise for a friend of my Dad's. Apparently the birthday boy's wife paid just short of £300k for 45 mins. Worth every penny though. Bloody brilliant [/quote] Astonished - how much ?

Will you please stop tormenting me like this? Now I will have to sell some children to get one like that for myself

Yes You are right, the books I checked do specially prohibit lending. I can't see how it could be enforced but why not describe it as a gift ? Recipient then gifts it back
