Well.. Ive listened some audio clips and pictures. First i'm surpised of not see Acrobat, they said would play that... Also surprised cause i think they played the Miracle half tune down. And streets with an strat black white. I also saw picture of End of the world played with MR les paul.
 
the Miracle. Epi Casino without pickguard

Cerdarwood. Epi Casino (like Breathe)

Out of control, Beautiful day (Explorer)

Raised by Wolves (Les Paul Music Rising)

No more info...
 
Some of strat songs like still found or Bullet was played with all black strat with rosewood board, which looks weird as hell.


....wish I could go to the tour, hopefully they'll be in Japan in future

WOWY was a Strat, looks like the Silver one that was used with Chris Martin in December, however gone is the Fender Custom Shop strap, but it has the big 70s style headstock.
 
And the Bass Guitars:

I've looked at some video, this is what the story seems to be for Adam Clayton. He's certainly cut down on the number of bass guitars he's using. For the most part, they are all Warwick signature Streamers or Fender signature Jazz + Plus what appears to be a Warwick Stryker for With Or Without You.

Wow, on 360 Adam used a different bass on nearly every song. He seems to be downsizing on everything, from the number of basses he uses, to the amp that he uses.

I bet that all those Reversos are in storage in a flightcase in Dublin, going nowhere.


In other news, 'California' was debuted last night, with Edge using the cream Telecaster with the black pickguard, the one that was used on The Jools Holland Show last October.

I also contacted Premier Guitar, suggesting that they do an Edge and Adam rig rundown.
