This particular Streamer seems he only used a handful of times so far. Looks like a cool bass.

I've heard recordings of "Electrical Storm", the song he used it on during the 2009 shows and it sounded pretty great too.

Beautifull pics: Anstradubh, i was not aware Adam also plays streamers...

Just wanted to be sure I was matching the right information with the correct bass.

So he has got a Stage II too! lucky man...

 

[Florin]

Yes, Markus Spangler gave me the specs after seing the picture. He remembers you as a very cool person, and says "Hello!"

 

[anstratdubh1979]

Hi Florin. Hello Marcus!

Here's a few pics I found of some of the recent shows in Europe. Seems U2 has found rain in a few cities over the past two weeks. I can't imagine that this kind of rain is good for any instrument. But the pics do look sort of cool.

 

[Gastrok]

Very cool pics!
Not only would that be a bit harsh on the instrument, I gotta believe its slightly dangerous.

 

[Florin]

I don't think it was actually raining on him.

 

[da-vonk]

I don't think it was actually raining on him.

and otherwise no worriezz...read sumwhere he has more than one or two of em...:lol:
besidez that, I don't think a little rust would harm da price of a "Reverso personally owned and often (!) played by da Clayton himself" on E-bay ....:lol:

 

[Negyuh]

Adam is a real W convert right? i see so many Warwick pics of Adam...

 

[w_xander]

I don't think it was actually raining on him.

Actually, it was...Zurich on 12 September, especially, where he was pretty much soaked...Bono was complaining that the umbrellas the riggers set up weren't worth a crap, because they weren't working at all once you moved away from the drum riser. 8:

Great gig, though!

Welcome to the forum w-xander

Thanks florin!

Reversed Reverso?

Appeaers to have 3-knobs but more interesting.... a reverse headstock. As in, the beak of the 'buzzard' style headstock facing UP instead of down. (This pic from the 11/24 show in Auckland, New Zealand)

Marcus and Florin... Any information on this bass? I can't quite make out the finish on this picture... What differences might this have from the production model? (Other than what appears to be a reverse headstock.

Does that make this a reversed-Reverso?

 

[Ian]

Isn't it a gold finish?

Crazy, Adam has tons of Warwicks now...

 

[Florin]

It has the same golden finish as the rest of his basses.

The woods are the same as in his signature, this time with a passive Seymour Duncan
P-Pickup Quarter Pound…

Also the headstock is reversed…

Nothing else is changed
(Quoted from Marcus Spangler)

Cheers,

Flo
