    Bass tuning?

    On songs that Edge tunes 1/2 step or full step down, does Adam do so as well? OR does he just play a fret down from where Edge would be playing?

    Yes, he's also tuning down. I'm sure you can find examples of him just playing one fret down but I think he has his basses in the same tunings as the Edge

    Edit: From Bass Player '06:

    "Do you and Edge still tune down for some songs?
    Yeah, that’s an old hangover from the way we used to do things. We would always tune down a half-step to give Bono a bit more headroom"
