As you said bass...I am almost 100% sure that that golden bass of Adam is not an original fender color. I have my doubts about the green too. They don't look vintage at all. ANy clues?
Were you perhaps getting the Lakland gold "Daryl Jones" confused with the Fender Shoreling Gold Jazz bass?
Same for the Sherwood Green and the Lakland metallic green?
The Lakland Daryl Jones and Fender Jazz basses are similar in syle and pickup configuration.
You can see that 1964 Fender Jazz Bass' came with rosewood fingerboards. (As did most mid-`60's Fender bass guitars and guitars. (ie: The Edge's 1962 sunburst Stratocaster and his 1962 Fender Jaguar)
And per: Page 37 Bass Player magazine... "Adam tours with eitght basses: four vintage Jass Basses and foru custom Laklands. (Adam replaced the original necks with the blook-inlay `70's Jazz necks for aesthetic reasons, and becaue he finds their maple fingerboards easier to see on stage.) Half of his basses are tuned EADG and the other half are tuned a half step lower.
ALSO per: Page 37 Bass Player magazine...
BASSES: `65 Fender Jazzz Bass (Shoreline Gold)
`64 Fender Jazz Bass (Sherwood Green)
`61 Fender Jazz (sunburst)
`66 Fender Jazz (sunburst)
four custom Lakland Darryl Jones Jazz-style basses [the article doesn't state their finishes but they are: (2) natural, (1) teaql green metallic and (1) gold metallic]
STRINGS DR Sunbeams (.045 - .105)
PICKS Custom Dunlop nylon picks (medium) [I've also seen blue teardrom Herdim picks, like those that The Edge uses in the pick guard of Adam's bass guitars]
Wow! Odd thing that he didn't change for the big markings neck then. Go figure...Just remembered, his sunburst Jazz, used on the elevation tour also had a maple neck. It was a 61 i think.

He had the big black block markers on the shoreline gold and the dot markers on the sherwood green.
He used the 1961 on the Vertigo tour too. Nice bass, that. And while the vintage Jazz sound and look amazing, the new Lakland Darryl Jones are as sonically stunning as they are visually attractive.
Although a bit pricey, in the $4000.00 range. Although their are other Lakland basses that are in the 1200.00 to 2200.00 range that are great too.

I would prefer a vintage Fender any day of the week. Or even a 70s reissues, since they are better constructed than the originals.

If you are looking for a great 70's era type bass...
The Fender Geddy Lee (Rush) Model is essentially a reissue of Geddy's 1970's era bass. They are fantastic instruments and at 850.00, very affordable for a signature series instrument.
I am saving for one now, as I need a bass for my home recordings. I want a Lakland. They are great. But the Geddy Jazz bass is equally great and more affordable.

Yeah, I'm torn over whether or not to get a Lakland or an American Jazz for my next bass. The Laklands in my price range are limited in colors where as the Fender's are wide open. I'd love to get one with a pewter body and maple neck. They sure do play nice too.
I did try out the Geddy Lee model and was sorely disappointed. I just about shredded my hand on the edges of the fret wire. Horrible craftsmanship. I must have played a bum one because I've heard nothing but good things about them. I mentioned it to the sales guy who seemed kinda embarrassed. He couldn't say if they were all like that. In all fairness I was at Guitar Center.
This isn't really a question... (great way to start off this post...) but what the hey? I thought that Edge purchased his Yellow & Black LP right after The JT release... So why is it in this video from 82'? Hey, it is a question after all! Okay.. too excited... bring it down now.... thats better.
btw, sorry I had to link the vid
Well, he definitely didn't buy it after JT lol. He has a few, but he donated one to Music Rising (Jeff has more info. on it), and he had one during TUF era (if you have the Slane DVD, watch the TUF documentary - he's playing one during the recording of Pride), but I don't know if that's the same on as in the video you linked to. I saw that yesterday funnily enough, and I just wonder whether it actually is his own guitar or whether he borrowed it, because if the video is clear, then that LP is fairly old because Gibson don't produce LPs in a cream/yellow finish, but they fade over time from an original white finish.
Like I say, Jeff has more info. on his LPs, but I hope that was of some use!

Yeah the Geddy is quite nice but that extra thin neck...horrible. I am not looking into buying one, but if I was, I would prefer a 70s reissue, I think that they were recently launched or will be. They look awesome.

the `70's reissies are pretty great. Another option is one of the cheaper Fender Precision or Jazz bass guitars that are made in mexico (MIM). The MIM stuff, Strats, Teles etc are all decent instruments. NOT the Squier MIM stuff. It's not so good but the Fender MIM Jazz bass with maybe a pickup upgrade... and et voila... decent bass.
I guess it all comes down to playing needs and budget.
