Adam Clayton Rocks the Rivoli

Prompted by a Newsweek article that drew comparisons to U2′s POP album (which happens to be my favorite U2 album – don’t hate), I went to their site to check out the new track “Get On Your Boots”.

Low and behold, Mr. Adam Clayton is rocking out with a vintage Epiphone Rivoli. Screencaps:

At first I thought it was just for show, but I’m pretty sure he actually played the Rivoli (or some type of mudbucker-equipped bass) in the track. Listen to the bass interlude/solo starting @ 1:16 in the video and you’ll know what I mean.
