Having recently concluded their dizzying residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, U2 continues to amaze the world. A record-breaking, passionate, and engaged band, they captivated audiences with poetic and visceral lyrics in the early 1980s.

Behind Bono’s dark glasses and The Edge’s sharp riffs, one man and a bass built the band’s backbone: Adam Clayton. The steady, wise metronome has anchored the heart of every anthem since the band’s inception, delivering his subtle and humble mastery of the bass with the finesse of a painter. While the band has been adored on stages worldwide for decades, and devoted fans analyze every instrument with the same care as the lyrics, it remains exceptional to get a chance to see U2’s instruments. Each piece is carefully selected and personalized to bring depth and expression to a performance.

With great emotion, Matt’s Guitar Shop has received several basses from Adam Clayton’s collection. Each reflects his enlightened approach to the instrument, guided by a keen ear and the demands of a complex repertoire.
