Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass Purple Sparkle is the U2 bassist's signature electric bass with a versatile sound that provides the right groove foundation for any song between rock and pop. The four-string instrument convinces with its classic construction of alder body and screwed, one-piece maple neck, while two Fender Custom Shop single coils with passive electronics are responsible for the tone conversion. Last but not least, the Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass has a Fender HiMass bridge and Fender/Hipshot tuners.
Adam Clayton wanted classic ingredients for the construction of his Signature electric bass. Accordingly, the body is made of alder in the typical Jazz Bass Offset design, while the neck is made of maple with four screws and a maple fingerboard. The "Custom Adam Clayton C" profile offers a high playing comfort, so that even complex bass lines can be handled without problems.
Two Fender Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass Single Coils are used as pickups on the Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass Purple Sparkle. Accordingly, an authentic vintage sound is available at the amplifier, which ranges in character from the wiry assertiveness of the bridge pickup to the rich bass thrust of the neck pickup. The traditional passive circuit with separate volume controls and a treble diaphragm can be used to call up a wide range of tones.
Furthermore, the Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass convinces with first-class hardware equipment that combines classic looks with modern functionality. Accordingly, the Fender HiMass bridge sits on the body, which with its solid construction and string guidance through the body guarantees a crisp response and an even sustain development of all strings. Four individually adjustable string adjusters also allow the perfect adjustment of intonation and string position. Light fenders/hipshot vintage tuners with stylish"lollipop" wings on the headstock also ensure precise tuning.
I’ve played a lot of basses from Ricky, P bass, musicman, this is by far the nicest bass I’ve played the neck is so effortlessly easy to play. The custom shop pick ups sound amazing. I think I’ve finally found my go to bass. DV247 the set up was spot on straight out the case apart from pick up height that needed a slight tweak. Fast delivery and excellent communication. Top class experience and a lot cheaper than buying direct from fender.
A excellent signature model based on a fender jazz 65. Also a fast and efficent service. Many thanks...
