Club Clement: Part 2 (post your basses here)

[edfriedland]

Well, seems like Mr. C and I have finalized the details for #189, the 6 string fretted that is being built for me.

The body will be Swamp Ash wings on a Mahogany center block, Limba top, Mahog/Maple neck, Ebony board. 34" scale, 24 frets, with Bart CBs and NTMB 3 band eq. The last detail was the pickup placement, and I decided on 28.5" for the neck and 31.25 for the bridge (from the nut). Basically the same relative spacing as my Zon TJ6 but half an inch closer to the neck.

Here's the rough layout of the top, I asked Tom to just throw the hardware on it to help me pick a top. Looking forward to this one!

Cool!
Congrats Ed, looking forward to seeing the completed bass!

Ed,

Which CBs do you speak of?

 

[emjazz]

Ed,

Which CBs do you speak of?

Bartolini Classic Bass pickups, or did you mean dual coils or quad coils?

I have the CB duals in my six string....great pickups.

 

[edfriedland]

Bart's "Classic Bass" series. I don't remember the specifics.

Very nice, Ed! It looks like Tom managed to hook both of us with that bait he lobbed our way.

Yeah, sometimes it's easy to get caught by your own trap.

Tom,

Do you have the specs of ALL the basses you've created starting with #1? If so it could make a great archive page on your site.

They track Strads don't they?



Joe

No the very early ones are lost as for your idea..... Can you imagine the time all that would take?

 

[tjclem]

As for you Ed and Tom..........

Lots of work on your bass today Tom I hope to stick some spare pups in there and rock it Thursday!!
