 U2 Feedback - Aspiring Adam Clayton
This is because you've only got four strings to think about and you generally only have to play them one at a time.
Some bass players do use five (or more) string basses, which might be of interest to you, but Clayton doesn't, and some, including Clayton, do play chords (a chord means more than one string at a time) but most of the time not, and in fact Adam very rarely does these days.
Personally I'd recommend a Jazz bass because of the thinner neck which for beginners is much easier to play than that found on a Precision bass (Adam plays both of these models by the way).

The band's early efforts brought a stadium-size presence to alt-rock, with Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's distinct guitar lines interacting seamlessly with the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr.
