U2 just finished their epic residency at the Sphere. This is your chance to own a Warwick Masterbuilt Adam Clayton Signature bass, just like the one he used to play Achtung Baby and others.
I'm the original owner of this amazing bass. The sound is amazing. Holds a tune forever. It's nice and light. The contoured body is super comfortable. Love the monster frets, and the silky smooth flame maple neck plays fast! Beautiful craftsmanship. Like I said, it's amazing. And I don't deserve it.
You can order one from Warwick for $8,000. Or you can this one for much less and be playing it a few days after the auction ends.
The initial bid is $4,000 but there is no reserve.
Original Warwick leather gig bag and certificate of authenticity.
Professionally packaged for shipment.
Below you'll find the product info from the Warwick website.
Warwick Masterbuilt Adam Clayton Signature Bass
Warwick’s cooperation with Adam Clayton of U2 goes back to 2008, when Adam contacted Warwick-founder and managing director Hans-Peter Wilfer about building a bass with his specific specifications and requirements. In 2010 the first Adam Clayton Signature model, the Warwick Reverso was born.
In 2013 Adam Clayton bought a new Warwick Streamer CV featuring a P-pickup. He liked this bass so much that he expressed the desire to make this his new signature-instrument.
From this collaboration, the Warwick Adam Clayton Streamer CV Signature model was born. Adam showed and played this bass at the record release for U2’s new album “Songs of Innocence”. In addition, Adam uses his new Warwick signature bass for recordings and live gigs all around the world and you can see Adam playing his new Signature bass on their 2015 Innocence + Experience Tour. This Masterbuilt beauty is now available from the Warwick Custom Shop in Markneukirchen, Germany.
