Right, I kinda forgot about that, my point was that his gear is vastly different between tours -at least for this IE tour he's got no Reversos (lol), no his sig p-basses, no Gibsons.
Yes, I totally agree.
Adam's gear changes a lot over the course of a number of years, one tour he will use one thing, the next tour he will usually use something else.
For example,
On Popmart his main bass was that Auerswald yellow bass, with SWR cabinets.
For Elevation, he used that sunburst Jazz bass a lot, with a few Laklands here and there, with Ashdown amps.
For Vertigo, the Sherwood Green and Shoreline Gold Jazz basses, with a few Laklands also.
On 360, he had huge numbers of Reversos, various other Warwicks, the Gibsons (RD, Triumph etc), the Purple sparkle precision, the gold sparkle precision and random basses that just appeared over time or for only some parts of the tour (example: the red Jazz bass, the white precision with the tortoise shell pickguard ) and then after years of Ashdown, he switches to Aguilar.
Now on the I And E Tour,only a few white Warwicks, a signature Jazz bass that rocks and a cool Stryker, with a small Ampeg amp are being used.
It is hard to know when Adam switched to Ampeg, as in the video for the making of 'Invisible', he had Aguilar amps. But in the video for U2's cover of the Aslan song 'This Is', he had Ampeg amps.
That is only since 1997, and in that time, Adam has gone through a HUGE amount of gear.
Even though the new Warwicks and the signature Jazz basses rock, I would love to see some Reversos (especially the red and gold ones) and the purple and gold sparkle Precisions and the Gibson basses out on the I And E Tour.
