Adam Clayton signature Precision bass

To celebrate 35 years of providing the low-end for the rhythm section for U2, one of the worlds most successful rock bands, the Fender Custom Shop has released this extremely limited Adam Clayton P-Bass. Only 60 pieces have been built, and they're loaded with features to make this one of a kind instrument not only a looker, but a player as well. With its eye-catching gold sparkle finish and matching headstock, and abalone block inlays, loaded with an Abigail Ybarra handwound P-Bass pickup as well as a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Clayton himself, this is a must for any serious P-Bass or U2 collector.

"So there I was, fifteen years old, with a dark brown Ibanez-copy bass guitar and no amp. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with it. Absolutely none. Not a clue. It just sounded good to me." - Adam Clayton
