The long awaited release of the Warwick 'Reverso' Adam Clayton signature bass happened this week at NAMM.

I'm awaiting to see some pictures, sure some will surface soon. I know a few folks that are going / or have gone / this week. So maybe they will post some pictures.

Anywho... it's official: the Warwick 'Reverso' Adam Clayton signature model is available!

Here's the specs, per Warwick:

Adam Clayton Reverso Signature

The Adam Clayton Reverso is a new design from Warwick that reflects a first-time collaboration between U2’s famous bass player and Warwick. Not only does it look cool, but it was forged from the same sonic template that helped define fellow legends Entwistle and Bruce when they came to Warwick. The reversed Stryker body provides a fresh aesthetic to an iconic axe. The design also ensures excellent ergonomics, whether on a strap or seated. Thanks to the small lower horn, slim neck and neck-through construction, even the highest frets are easily reached.

The instrument uses a combination of tone woods, lending it beauty as well as brawn. The mahogany body and flamed maple 3-piece neck ensure a deep, clear sound while the AAAAA quilted maple top, mother of pearl block inlays, red side-LED’s and matching quilted maple headstock give it a classy appearance that is sure to stand out on any stage.

Equipped with a single active MEC P pickup in the sweet spot and passive MEC electronics, the Reverso provides Adam with the ballsy sound he’d been looking for.

I don't play bass (or any instrument), but I must say, that thing is beautiful.
 
Holy shit! Nice pics Jeff.

So Scott bought it?!
Damn that thing is beautiful.
I look forward to getting a picture with it...if he allows me. :)

I'm sure we'll see it on the next gig.
Nice stuff.

Scott (Joshua Tree) did buy it. Lovely bass. Between the lilac sparkle Precision and this, he's got some serious Adam:360 bass gear.

I love the pattern on it, and Inever knew the backside looked like that.
 

That's so cool! It totally reminds me of my very first guitar, the Vantage VS600 by (the legenedary?) Matsumoku.
It still sounds great despite beind pre-owned and badly worn.

It looks something similar to this one but with black knobs;

My dream would be to have a walnut Explorer that mimics the look of my VS600, and now I've seen that it looks awesome! Thanks E_O (and Adam ;))
