police squad Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Which Adam Clayton bass would I have to get/ buy/ replicate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Depends what era of U2, but I'd go with a jazz. His current signature bass looks good, but any jazz with blocks would fit. Or a sparkly P bass with a block/bound jazz neck. He's used so many over the years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 I`d go for a Jazz, battered if possible, will get near pretty much everything he`s done and look in character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do all eras of the band I dont want to get a signature bass, too expensive but I could repurpose some bits onto an intersting bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Well if you took any notice of some opinions towards Mr Clayton on here, anything with one string will cover it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Jazz too, covers nearly all eras. He played Laklands for a while too, both Joe Osborn and Darryl Jones models - which are both basically Jazz Basses. He even (briefly) had a signature version of the (fairly affordable) Skyline Darryl Jones, which was somewhat confusing namewise.

Just something similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my bitsas - and FFS I have made a lot of the bloody things - were cheap and pretty decent by comparison with even used prices for equivalent quality instruments 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Like him or loathe him, he’s the reason that I started playing bass. I admit he’s not Michael man ring but it is “in the pocket, in time” bass which is what most people expect to hear 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
