U2 Bad studio cover JMI 1963 Vox ac30

[flopflip54]

Totally superb. I've had great time cranking this up on my system and jamming in with you. can't wat to get my ac30 back from restoration (c.1965 proper Jennings) ;-)

[rancidhotmail]

i love your pants!!! they sure do look comfy

[skrason]

Gorgeous tone. Spot-on phrasing. Loved the extra high notes you added to the outro as well. Great job. And honestly, I hate everything.

[tumbleoverandlaugh]

does the tele sound good for all u2 songs? im either gonna get a strat or a tele but i really want the tele.. what do you think? thanks

[darkvadortonpere]

great job, nice tone, nice amp.. very good

[kfliegner]

Great video, Mick. The music's terrific, of course, but, as a New Englander at heart, I enjoyed the visuals just as much.

[anstratdubh1979]

Another fantastic clip. I hadn't seen this one until today. And it seems to confirm the speculation that I've heard on U2 Recording and Interference - That it is very possible that Edge used a Telecaster on the studio version of "Bad".

Only question is: Why never live? Anywho. Great job. Thank you for posting this.

[luieu2]

This is brilliant !

[bootlegapples]

Nice...good choice with choosing a condenser mic over a dynamic too,I think they're much better at capturing the true tone and allowing the depth.

[fabriciozu]

Holy shit, it's The Edge playing. Congrats, best cover I've heard on Youtube, and I think I've heard all of them.

[oliveguitar17]

hello mick superb video, very beautiful scenery .... what a dream. tell me how your modulation to settle your DD20? SETTINGS speed and depth ................... thank you.

[justmejonboy]

Hi Mick, great as usual, i think your clips often stand out from the crowd not only because of your great sound and playing but because of your backing tracks. Do you / your band record them or have you sourced them else where ? I love your SHFWILF backing tracks also. I have a Alesis SR16 but never get time to experiment laying down a track. Nice stuff. Thanks.,

[mick3b1g]

@justmejonboy I usually build them all for recording and for my band I do it the old school way and just play the instruments and multitrack it then play guitar last live and record that with video. I have used premade ones here and there but i find they sound fake somtimes plus i enjoy playing the instruments and learning all the parts to the songs somtimes correct...somtimes not lol..(Im no drummer at all) its all in good fun though

[theedge269]

What a beautiful amp.

[patbreacadh]

Nice work! Lovely seaside footage.

I'm sure you have answered this a million times, but what is the make of the condenser mike you use for miking up the AC30?

[mick3b1g]

@patbreacadh Thanks for the nice comments. Its a AT 3035 condensor audio technica

[flyhi94]

What do you think about the new AC30s without a tube rectifier?

[777jordan]

what channel are you in? Is it a Normal, Bass or Treble model?

[mick3b1g]

@777jordan I used the brilliant channel. keep in mind this amp is a late 63 ac30 so it doesnt have the top boost .

[777jordan]

@mick3b1g does it have a T, N, or B at the end of the Serial Number?

[777jordan]

@mick3b1g I see it is a Normal voicing at 3:11!

[scorpguitar79]

perfect!

[sugiero90]

What does "chime" mean?

[euginis]

The million dollar question is when are you going to feature your dog in another video? I love that guy!

[MichaelD8393]

Where did you get the AC30? I've been trying to find one for myself.

[TimU2Cool]

this is without a doubt the most bueatiful u2 cover I've ever had the channe to listen 2.

great job,with I could do it.

[wpaone]

Are you from RI or live in the area?

[mick3b1g]

@wpaone Im from MA but goto RI every summer about a 2 hr drive

[wpaone]

@wpaone Ah, excellent. I live in RI and am only about a half hour drive from the ocean. There's a place referred to as "the rocks" down near Naragansett that is amazing as well. If you've never been and are interested, let me know, I can get you the address. Keep up the great U2 covers. Are you in a U2 cover band?

[dedodo]

Brilliant. Better than U2 (yet again) ;-)

[TheKungFuProductions]

I'm wondering whether I should buy a Line 6 M13 or a POD 500HD, whats your opinion on them?

[portissol83]

incredible, it feels like we are inside windmill lane studios, hearing an outtake of "bad"...!

[rohaihuparaguay]

man that sounds good, I want that VOX so bad

[TheEdge80]

Awesome cover!

Very close and lovely sound.

Congrats! :-)

[daveym43]

sounds exactly the unforgettable fire version

[rfphill]

Loved it, man... sounded awesome and the video was a very nice touch...

[CDM4347]

Thanks for your reply. I guess that amp has a lot of clean headroom? Was it loud in the room, as in this is not so great for my ears loud?

[mick3b1g]

@CDM4347 it can get very loud yes but sounds good at lower vol as well if your playing clean

[CDM4347]

Sounds great, a little like the pacemaker? If you could share the volume settings on the guitar and amp I would appreciate it.

[mick3b1g]

@CDM4347 guitar on full Amp around 1/3 full vol. I was going for the same sound that i made with my pacemaker but the ac30 is just louder beefier. Both amps sound great though

[UDIETIZADO]

Modulationnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[U2GuitarTutorials]

Thx again, great stuff Mick.

[neozecat]

Nice job Mick

What mic did you use to record the Vox ?

[mick3b1g]

@neozecat thanks Its a AT3035 condensor

[spikelive]

Bravissimo Mick!great job.....j love your amp ,your guitar and your seagulls hahaha!!

[giovannibrunoro]

it's chimey but kinda more gentle than the tb... :)

[mick3b1g]

@giovannibrunoro it can growl I just need to play louder or use the normal channel Great amp

[giovannibrunoro]

@mick3b1g do you think i can get edge's tone even without top boost?

[Stevenafoe]
