Another up on Reverb again.

One for sale on Reverb.com.

Thanks again, all. At $700, no one took me for a ride I’m happy to say. If, indeed, this is a Frankenstein, it’s a wonderful agglomeration. The neck is a dream, and it puts out some fine sound.

Thanks, all, for the feedback. Another talkbass thread states that Fender introduced both P & J fretless basses in 1970. The neck plate serial number falls into the 1963 range (up to L200000). The logo was definitely removed, as the finish is dull where it would have been (see photo). Yes, the...

I’m hoping wiser heads & eyes than mine might be able to provide some insight into the DNA of my ‘63 Jazz. I’ve only recently bothered to check out its serial number (L193xx) even though I’ve owned it (mostly) for over 20 years. As you’ll see from the photos, it’s not original: headstock logo...

Hi Do you still have those original sheets? Is it possible to post higher-resolution scans of the wiring diagrams so as to see the function of each of the three pots? I just managed to buy back a '63 fretless Fender Jazz with these SD pickups. Many thanks in advance.

So far, I have followed that dictum by finding, first, a fretless 4-string, #141, on eBay at a very nice price and, as of this week, taking delivery of kbuschman's #249 advertised on TB's basses for sale forum. I fear I may be ordering a new Clement once I have a clearer sense of what I capable...

I have a Ryan (#141) that fits very roomily into a Gator hardcase. I can give you the internal measurements if that would help.

Many thanks, Kim. You saw that Tom thinks I'm a lucky Canuck for scoring it. I'll keep it in prime shape for a possible visit by you to Manitoba. Btw, my daughter is 2nd year dentistry at Dalhousie, so I'll be darkening the door of your favourite bar one of these days.

Thanks, nofretz. Between your and Mr. Walker's examples, I'm convinced that a Piezo is part of my next set-up. Really appreciate all the helpful knowledge here. Despite living in a trading area of over 1 million (and with a new Ikea no less), finding anything other than OTS guitar product in...

Sorry Justyn, just went back and noticed Jared said the clip was not by him or of his bass.

Looking forward to more sound demos once your fingers reconstitute. btw, I found an identical clip on the Stambaugh Club site posted by Jared Lash. Is this a generic clip or did one of you borrow from the other?

Thanks a lot, Mr CC Founder Your Piezo demo reaffirmed my interest in having a Piezo on my next bass. I listened to a number of clips and demos here on TB and also on YouTube, so I was surprised at how very acoustic and bright #297 sounded the video on Clement Bass's FB page. btw, I love...

BUMP

I've been thinking about getting a 5-string fretless and have been thinking how I might want it set up. I'm particularly interested in a Piezo being part of the mix. Other than buying new, I noted Justyn's Stambaugh in the f/s forum of TB. He posted a sound clip today, which sounds deep, rich...

Good to hear from you, Justyn. Just got an email from Tom who's right now playing at the Cabbage Patch Roost & Bar near Deland, FL, a 10 hour drive south of Richmond. (Deland is Tom's locum for home & bass-building.) You should go visit the man like I did in January. (btw, I live a mere...

You may just have found a motivated buyer, Justyn. Just happened on this listing around midnight, having spent most of the day checking out builders, pricing, etc. Need sleep before pushing forward. In addition to requests for sound clips, I am interested in the neck shaping. Bought a Clement a...

The Cabbage Patch Bar & Roost, somewhere east of Deland, FL. Jan. 25/13

While on vacation in Florida with my wife (it's minus 40 back home in Manitoba), I got in touch with Tom to see if I might be able to visit the birthplace of my bass. He graciously agreed, so we drove up Sunday morning. Had a great time playing with his dogs and checking out his stock of wood...

And Godsbassman descended into the depths, then scaled his way out to glory. :hyper:

This would be my Jon's big brother (and would require more 'holding company.')

I decided to throw myself into the search for good string options in a relatively full-blown manner. After a review of string recommendations on this site and a couple of others, I headed over to bassstringsonline.com. Jason is as helpful as others have mentioned. With his help, I just received...

Oh, she's a beaut, eh :bassist:

My Clement Jon fretless #141 was strung with DR Black Beauties when I received it (still is). Today I listened to the sound samples on Tom's website. The ones I preferred were: Modern Double-cut #36; Allen #38; Joan #58; Ryan #69; Ryan #104, and; Joan #66. I'd like a string that pretty much...

Thanks much for this gentleman (and you, too, PassivAggressiv). I just finished building my own home so I should be able to tackle saddle adjustment now that I have your advice.

I agree about that top, Kwesi. After I found it on eBay, I checked Tom's gallery, and I couldn't find anything I liked better. I am absolutely convinced that the ornate spalting is going to effect a dramatic improvement in my playing. That is, if I can keep my wife from thinking of it as wall...

Thanks, Ben. My floors do look nice with that guitar, but not as nice as PassivAggressiv looks with hers. :D

Monday, Feb. 13th, was a lucky day. I had driven to the border to pick up my Markbass Little Mark Tube head, Ashdown cab and Gator case. Tracking showed that my eBay find, Clement #141, should arrive in the mail on the 16th. Happy, happy, joyjoy, when I stopped in for my mail, the postmistress...

Would one or some of you care to comment on how you've set up the action on your fretless? I only recently took delivery of Clement Jon #141 (I'm now, happily, the third and last owner) and, not having played for some years, would be happy for some input. Right now, the G string sits almost...

Thanks so much, bompabass. Looks like I won't be ordering the SKB; only 20.5". Follow-up though: does the 21.26" include the strap pegs?

Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of a Clement Jon are? I am planning to order an SKB-44 (if it accepts a Jon) so that I have protection for my guitar from the minute it arrives. The SKB's maximum body length is 20.5". Thanks to anyone who can advise.

Waiting for delivery of my Clement #141.
