anyone know if Adam has ever used a 5-String bass?
which era? which tour? which songs?

I feel so ashamed, I never noticed it, but when I'm playing (just for the soul), it's usually to a live recording so there'she has a D not he hits that I can't get to on my bassist's 4 string without tuning down the E to drop D...
let see... about... 4:20 into the song there is that one really low note you can't hit on a normal bass. Maybe it's not a 5 string, and he just tuned a normal one down. But that low D is there.

Yes the low Ds are quite clearly Moog Taurus bass pedals, there's no detuning the E string to low D going on... I haven't listened to check this recently but I seem to recall that the JT album outro features both bass guitar and bass pedals simultaneously, the latter an octave below the former.
Wow I have never seen that before! Interesting!
Do you know if that book's any good? I was considering getting it for my birthday next summer or so, either that or music theory. Or perhaps both.
It's great! It's Anton's photo's of U2 from 1982-2006 - what's not to love about that?
I meant Bassplaying for dummies!
I already have Anton's book, he's a Dutchie so how could I not get it?
It's awesome, but very heavy!
Yea I wanna improve my playing. I do get lessons but they're not professional.They're from a guitar player/music teacher I know and he's really cool and I love it that he's doing this for me, but I'd like to know a bit of background information and he just doesn't have the time to teach me everything. So I figured if I get a good book on basic music knowhow for bassplaying, I can understand more.
Did you read any music theory stuff or did you get lessons/self taught?
Yea I know you're not a bassist. I really need to type things out more, I wanted to ask how you learned to play guitar.
I've a website where I can order it, they have the English version which is cheaper than any of the Dutch dummy books. Seems odd to me, but yea there's no Dutch version of that one anyway so I'll go for the English one.
Thanks for the advice!
Good lord, your first guitar was a Rickenbacker 330?
All of my guitars put together wouldn't cost that much!
That's one sweet guitar man!
