First playable images sent today. Keeping it simple. I think she's developing nicely!
I gotta say.... having a custom build rather than heading down to the local G.C., browsing ebay or the online stores adds a very different dimension to the buying and owning process. Knowing that there is only one unique instrument out there made to your own specs. gives a sense of,(I guess) pride not found in a rack bought bass. Kudos Tom!!!!

what sort of electronics are in there?
 
Would some of you who play Clement Anne basses care to comment on their ergonomics? Particularly, does the wider part of the bass that rests on your leg (giving a greater distance between your leg and the strings) help you to be able to play comfortably seated, without using a foot stool or crossing your legs? And do you like what the wider chambered body does for your plucking hand position?

Yes with the Anne shape i can sit taller and to me it feels like a more natural position.
Mine is not chambered so i haven't "lived" with that, but i have had the pleasure of playing several of Tom's chambered Annes. the "extra" body thickness is hardly noticable after a few minutes of playing, both seated or on a strap. I think the wonderful balance of the bass contributes the comfortable feel.
