Lakland build Adam another unfinished version for Adam to have re-finished later.

MAKE: Lakland
MODEL: Uncertain. (Could be a 44-60, Joe Osborne or Darryl Jones)
VINTAGE: 2009
FINISH: Gold Sparkle (Custom finish)
 
USE:
- STAGE: City of Blinding Lights (during some U2:360 2009 shows)
- STUDIO:
- VIDEO:
 
NOTES:
- According to Dan Lakin, Lakland made the bass (in left column) for Adam Clayton. I'm not sure if the original gold sparkle Lakland (in the left column) was ever used.
 
They made another that was no finished, as Adam liked the gold flake sparkle finish on his Fender's and wanted to get the Lakland finish to match the Fender finish.

"So there I was, fifteen years old, with a dark brown Ibanez-copy bass guitar and no amp. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with it. Absolutely none. Not a clue. It just sounded good to me." - Adam Clayton
