"It's odd, but Warwick have just released an Adam Clayton signature model as well. Invalid Link Removed It's actually a great bass. Sounds and plays fantastic. I own the RockBass version and I love it! $Best $900.00 I've ever spent. Pure quality. I can only imagine that the Warwick Custom...

"I feel like Adam Clayton has a signature bass with just about every company out there." - Nope. Not at all. He's had a strong working relationship with Fender and Warwick for a few years now. And signature model doesn't mean that he's committed to playing one model or brand. It's not a...

Never ceases to amaze me that there are those on forums that will shell out hatred of U2/any member of U2. They've sold more records than you have. They've sold out more arena and stadium tours than you have. They have more fans than you have. It doesn't mean that you have to like them. But it...

Could be his Sadowsky Will Lee model. It's possible that he's had the neck changed. He does like the Jazz necks. ANd has a habit of changing Precision bass to Jazz necks. And to the Adam haters. Hush. Who's had the 30+ year career? You or Adam? Plus, what some fail to realize, no on in U2...

Adam wasn't using a 4001 during The Unforgettable Fire.

It's a Fender Custom Shop job. I called and they confirmed.

After seeing the various awards shows, I noticed that Adam Clayton had some new amps. I was curious so I contacted Aguilar to find out what items of there's Adam was using and sent them off some pictures from the shows. Aguilar's response below: The rig Adam is using is a DB 750 amplifier...

Per the rep I spoke with at Warwick, Adam has a few of the 'reverse' Strykers. The idea of the reverse body was Adam's. # 1 with (2) mirror pickups / (4) gold control knobs: # 2 with (2) mirror pickups / (3) gold control knobs in succession near the bridge, and a 4th knob (master...

So this one (below) is a heavily customized Streamer Stage II? Cool. Not as cool as the Stryker but still cool. I had a look around and found a few more pictures. Seems Adam only used this bass for a show or so. He did use it in Amsterdam on July 20th for "Sunday Bloody Sunday"...

Not to go too off topic but as the question was posed about some of Adams used of Jazz basses and Gibson basses... ...Adam used Jazz and Precision basses for most of U2's career. Not exclusively, but more than other bass guitars. Adam has an early 1970's Precision that he's used for a very...

Adam used Jazz and Precision basses for most of U2's career. Not exclusively, but more than other bass guitars. Adam has an early 1970's Precision that he's used for a very long time. (It could be a 1972 or 1973 as he's referred to it as a 1972 in some interviews and a 1973 in others) He...

Where did this picture come from? Lakland? Is it of the bass that they made for Adam? Invalid Link Removed I emailed Dan Lakin today. He said that the bass that Adam used at the inauration show was a Fender and not a Lakland. But he did mention that they had made one like the one pictured.

Adam does endorse Lakland bass guitars but his deal does not call for using them exclusively. Seems that he prefers the Laklands for live, although he does use a few of his Fender bass guitars live also. In that, it also seems that he favors 1960's and early 1970's era Fender Jazz and...
