This bass isn't just a stunning instrument—it's a global traveler and a core piece of U2's recent history! Adam Clayton himself sits down with Julien's to discuss the bass that provided the groove for some of the band's most memorable 2019 tour moments.

A Global Groove: The bass also helped drive the iconic track "Angel of Harlem" during the Saitama, Japan show on December 4th, 2019.
Signature Style: Finished in a striking light purple sparkle, this bass features Adam's signature appointments: a 34” scale maple neck, 20-fret maple fretboard with luxurious abalone block inlays, matching headstock with "lollipop" tuners, and a powerful Custom Shop P-Bass pickup.
