Club Bordwell Part 2.

[nippes]

Put an order in for two 6 string SC's from Cliff to be completed sometime around March of 2012!

I am very excited!

A fretted with a Waterfall Bubinga top, and a fret-less with a Tulip wood top!

Hi Scott,
what do I have to imagine for a Waterfall Bubinga? I´ve never heard that description or type of Bubinga. Sounds great, but don´t have an idea about the looks
Congrats on the two new orders. A sixer is what I´m still missing.

Hey Markus,
I think they also call it two tone Bubinga too. Basically the same wood as the top from my old 5 string CB single cut I sold.

Do you have a picture of the top?

 

[Larry Davis]

"Two-tone" refers to sap and heartwood on the same piece generally. Never refers to figure type. "Waterfall" bubinga figure is a rolling serpentine type curl that somewhat resembles cascading water over multiple surface levels. Happy to clear that up

 

[scottm]

No, I haven't even started looking yet. I do think I might have a pic of the Tulip wood top that Cliff sent me awhile back though for the other bass. I'll have to look.

If you want a good idea of what a tulipwood bass looks like, check out Cliff's news page. WOWIE!!!

That's a pretty impressive bunch.

I'm really looking forward to hearing about the fretted chamber bass. Cliff, will there be sound clips of that one by chance?

 

[spade2you]

I'd be very interested in hearing a fretted parallel chamber!!! Not doing it on the upcoming fretless, but I could considerit on the next one.

 

[Cliff Bordwell]

I am not set up for quality recordings, so no plans for sound samples.
If the owner does something I will definitely post them on the "News" page.

Please let you know your impressions of it when it's done. I'd love to know

More CB goodness

From an upcoming DVD release. The new batch of singlecuts look great. I especially like all the one piece ramps/pickup covers... Did I start a trend

 

[lesclaypoolsob]

Tslice,

We're just thrifty, man. It cost less to have the one-piece ramp rather than a ramp and separate pick-up covers.

Jokes aside, your singlecut purpleheart bass was a big inspiration for my tulipwood top and purpleheart ramp!

Your bass is looking great! I really dig the wood combos

I don't even know what to say. This thing is ridiculous!!! I have Gibsons and Gibson VOS, Paul Reed Smith, Fenders, Ernie Balls and I have to say that this is the best guitar that I own bar none. It is one bad ass machine. The weight, balance, and playability is next to perfect. The guitar literally plays so well that it inspires you when you hold it.
It looks like an absolute piece of artwork and Cliff's craftsmanship is some of the best out there period. I would put this guitar up against any guitar out there.
It is no secret that I am a CB Bass fan and now I can say that I am huge fan of Bordwell Guitars. Thanks again, Cliff and pictures are soon to follow!

 

[spade2you]

Sounds awesome. So, what are ya ordering next?

 

[david muntner]

I told Cliff I'd be on the lookout for something weird and different!

You've already got some killer basses and a guitar. What could you have planned that's different?
