Club Clement (Part 3: Post your basses here)

[Nofretz6]

Didn't realise you were going ahead with this one so soon mate!
Absolutely gorgeous looking bass thus far!

Eude

The funds were available so I figured what the hell.

Many thanks to Lincoln for putting the idea out there with his "MM phoenix" concept. And, of course, Tom for making it a reality.

Ever think of it? In Florida there is Sea World where one can hear whale song. And then there is "C" World where you can hear a whale of a song.

Here's the set up before the gig -

Maple and Maple is Nice!!

What does this sound like? Very pretty. Would venture a guess that this would be quite bright in the fundamental tone.

I scare microphones to death. :scowl:

Wish I could!

What are the body and neck made from? They look a few shades too dusky to be maple but very nice nonetheless.

That is called "microphobia" , Good news it is not serious, but like a lot of microbes they can grow on you. But rather than feeling worse you will feel better as it grows on you.

 

[Nofretz6]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

A classic of classics before it is fully birthed and borne. A classy lassie.
Oh, and I do see holes in that upper wing. Real nice.

Nofretz, Is your new Clement a solid body with the upper body wing holes going all the way through?!? Whoa, it just hit my eyeballs that I can see the grass behind the bass!!
A bold and brave new world, indeed. Is it without chambering? YIKES. And the guard knobs look lighter and better. The guard is in place by screws not glued. Are you thinking of having alternative guards made? Did I mention the fact that I really LOVE the looks of this #201? Congratulations and please heavy review required.

Thanks, we (mostly Tom) really went through a few trials to get this one created.
Yep, solid. I figured one in the fold would be a nice alternative for the funk side. Holes are through the body. I liked the look Tom gave to 195 and wanted to carry that over to 201. Gluing would have warped the guard + the screws give it a classic feel. Test drive scheduled for tonight.
