hillbilly deluxe Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What kind of tw4t would play a gold sparkle precision ? Heres mine...........again. IMO it needs gold hardware too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I love the term "Hand Selected" alder. They could "hand select" the crappiest boards in the storeroom, as it's going to be finished in gaudy gold anyway.

franzbassist Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If my 9yo daughter designed a bass, it would probably look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 So how many gigs did the Warwick last for? Well it looks like a sparkly Precision. So Fender make a few, Mr Clayton selects the best ones and the ones he doesn't want get sold off at a great profit. Good business for Fender. I'm glad at least it doesn't have one of those relic finishes that are so common now. I'm guess the finish shines nicely on stage when you are playing in large arenas with one of the most famous bands on the planet. It is what it is. I personally think Mr Clayton has shown more imagination when designing basses than when writing basslines. (In seriousness though, he is a competent player.)

Lozz196 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Think AC has played both Precisions and Jazzes throughout his career, so makes sense for him to get a Fender sig model. No matter how bad the gold is on this Precision, it beats that awful Warwick. That was just yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I follow Fender Custom Shop on twitter... They've just announced an Adam Clayton precision bass, looks a bit pants, but nicer than the reverso! I know as a player he divides opinion, I think he suits U2 well, and it's a bit too easy to slate him, I appreciate his playing, just not his taste in basses, or his singer...
