Club Clement: Part 2 (post your basses here)

[Moe Monsarrat]

Yes, it's a Wishbass. It's got a 36" scale with a purple heart fingerboard. The Jazz style bass is a custom model built by Rob Hacker in Austin. It has Sadowsky electronics. More pics of Clement #4 coming.

Although I was unaware of it when I bought it, this is apparently Clement bass #4. I'll post better pics in the near future.

Nice one Moe! A little bit of Clement history!

More pics of Clement #4 coming.

Welcome to the club, Moe!
I'll have to go through the files and hand out numbers again so won't be getting you a number with this post, but stay tuned.

That's a very early Clement you've got there! It looks nice! Did you read up on Ed friedland's review on the black limba bass recently?

You were unaware of it being a Clement? It doesn't have a signature? I have #69, and it has a nice silver hand-written signature on the headstock. Personally signed by the Master himself. It's cool

Did you just purchase it?

Do you have the same customs / no VAT / incompetent parcel force issues that we get over here?

Hey Wavey,

I was reading up on the specs of your new Clement, but I did not locate the type of wood used on your fretboard. Would you kindly point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Mr. Walker, no my Clement is unsigned as far as I know. I suppose if it had been, I would have known it was a Clement made bass. Naturally Tom had no problem identifying it & calling attention to the fact that it was indeed one of his basses. It came without strings & I put a set of GHS flats on it. It's a great playing bass with a lot of bottom. I don't play 4 strings live much but use them in the studio quite a bit. I'm interested to see how it records. To be frank, I'd never seen a Clement bass until I saw this one. Now that I am aware of Tom's wonderful skills in this regard, I may be interested in getting him to make another instrument for me. As I've stated elsewhere in the forums, I make my living with custom basses. The Clement bass I have here is up to par with the ones I own that have paid for themselves many times over. More pics on the way.

Sorry I just couldn't resist. Look at the side shot...wow.

 

[MrWalker]

Tom definitely has a talent. I mean, that's #4 and the magic already shows, huh?
