Some seriously collectable band equipment and memorabilia coming up for auction later this week, raising funds for Music Rising.

The stage backline bass rigs that Adam used on U2360°, donated by Aguilar Bass (and signed by Adam), are up for auction, along with a With or Without You MTV Award, a platinum disc of The Joshua Tree and a signed guitar from Bono.

Adam's bass rigs, donated by Aguilar, include two DB 750 heads (which have been autographed by Adam), two DB 410 cabinets and two DB 115 cabinets. These are being auctioned as separate lots - not complete rigs.

The 'Music Icons, Legends and Rebels' auction takes place on May 17th and includes memorabilia from The Beatles, The Stones and Michael Jackson as well as U2. Details of the U2 related items on pages 220/221/222 of the online catalogue.
