Adam Clayton chooses Fender basses to hold down the bottom end for U2, and now you can master the same tone with this gorgeous Jazz Bass. From the alder body to the Fender Custom Shop pickups to the awesome finish with matching headstock, this is the bass you've seen and heard Adam playing on TV and the web. Fender and Adam worked together to give this Jazz bass the exacting specs and tolerances that make it the guitar you'll cherish and rely on for great tone for years to come.





A J Bass just like Adam Clayton's





Holding down the low end in a world-famous band like U2 requires great tone and technique. Adam Clayton has the chops and chooses to play Fender Basses on the gig. The Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass features a premium alder body, a graphite reinforced maple, custom Adam Clayton "C"-shaped neck, and big bass tone Fender custom shop pickups that give you the classic J Bass tone you are looking for.

Fender's most playable neck finish





Players are very particular about many aspects of their instruments, but none more so than the neck. Fender has incorporated a great-feeling satin finish on the custom Adam Clayton "C"-shaped neck. The back of the neck has a slick-playing satin finish that feels worn in and ready to go. The headstock has a tinted gloss finish that matches the body and the rosewood fretboard has been buffed to perfection. Once you play this neck finish, you won't be able to go back to anything else.





Big bass tone from Fender Custom Shop pickups





The Fender Adam Clayton Jazz Bass gives you big bass tones thanks to Fender Custom Shop pickups. These pickups give you all the solid, low-end thump you want, with the full-range responsiveness you need, giving you that iconic Jazz Bass growl that's perfect for all styles of music.
