CLAYTON SOUND AND STYLE

Throughout the entire phenomenal history of the band, the groundbreaking music of U2 has been underpinned by the gracefully muscular bass work of Adam Clayton. His impeccable groove and expansive tone form the sonic foundation of one of the biggest bands in the history of rock music, never more powerfully than today. Fender’s Adam Clayton Jazz Bass puts his rock-solid sound and style in your hands, with elegant appointments and elemental tone, including two potent Fender Custom Shop pickups and a beautiful Sherwood Green Metallic gloss finish with matching headstock.

FEATURES

• Sherwood Green Metallic gloss finish with matching headstock
• Maple neck with custom "C" profile and vintage style heel truss-rod adjustment
• 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and white pearloid block inlays

CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS

Elemental Jazz Bass tone comes from dual Custom Shop single-coil pickups.

 

HI-MASS BRIDGE

The specially designed High Mass bridge on Clayton's bass has a cool contemporary look. It also has a lot of metal, which means it has a lot of mass for rock-solid sustain, intonation and tuning stability.

 

CUSTOM "C" NECK PROFILE

Clayton's signature Jazz Bass features a distinctively sculpted custom neck profile for remakable playing comfort.

 

BLOCK INLAYS

Block fingerboard inlays add a touch of elegance.
