The Adam Clayton Precision Bass features a custom ''C'' profile neck that fits comfortably in the left hand. The 9.5'' radius provides a vintage feel, in combination with the vintage medium frets. The double cutaway design of the guitar allows easy access along the whole fingerboard, while the bolt-on neck design and contoured body sit comfortably in your lap.

The Custom Shop '60s Split Single-Coil Pickups give this guitar the punchy and mid-focussed sound of the 60's. This is the perfect tone for standing out in the mix and, with the master volume and tone controls, will give just enough tone-sculpting potential to work well in any genre.
The pickups are mounted to a resonant and bright sounding alder body, which has a comfortable weight and contour for playing stood up or sat down. The guitar features vintage-inspired hardware and a HiMass bridge for superior sustain and string vibration transference. With its Purple Sparkle finish and vintage-inspired appointments, the Adam Clayton Signature model is the ideal gigging instrument with a real stand-out aesthetic.
