Club Bordwell Part 4

[LowWay]

Anybody know who owns this one? Or have a pic of the completed bass?

I’m hoping to do a 30” with Cliff soon and I’d love to see a finished version of this one specifically. I asked him on FB. I’ll email him if no one here knows and I don’t hear on FB soon.

Is that a different lower horn? I really like it.

Scott, I love the pickup placement on your new bass!

A perfect pair, Mike!!

Is that a "B" headstock on a "Ball" body? I don't think I've seen that before, I like it!

Still super envious of that buckeye top. Beautiful!

Yes, I think this is some sort of modified BIG McNeely shape.

The pickups are positioned like a 5 string Warwick thumb.

Mike Z, your bass looks amazing!!!!!

[mikezimmerman]

Yes, it is. I just really prefer the sleeker B headstock in general, and of course Cliff is happy to accommodate!

It is absolutely nuts in person!

O yea ! I couldn't take it anymore and broke it out about 9 last night and played until midnight the up at 5:30 this morning to start again , just now put it down , its so nice ! I will get some pictures of the bass up a little later today. I am so pleased with the 32 scale 6 , so comfortable and the B string is nicer than some 34's and 35's I've played , Cliff did it again !

That’s great news!
Agreed, his 32” scale basses are awesome, especially with a low B. Congratulations.
