That bass is going to be outstanding Mike.

 

[GODSBASSMAN]

Your new bass is coming into its own beauty. That cherry top is really nice. The finish will pop for sure when Tom polishes that. I know your excited, now.

 

[M2roger]

I think that combination of smileys says it all.

 

[GODSBASSMAN]

6 HYPER smileys is Really excited (that when the bass ships to you)
then come the atomic explosion smiley (that is when you touch the "C" right after having to open the box and removing the wrapping. BOOM!!!

Maybe I could find a supernova smiley between now and then!

 

[Kwesi]

Haha, I'm in! Just wondering, how do I find out the number of the Clement I have?

Here's a pic (the other basses aren't mine ):

The end of the world may be near.
At least Clement owners will die happy. Play on

 

[Kwesi]

The more I play my Clement the more I'm thinking that it's gonna stick around for a long time to come. If I ever get another fretless it'll have six strings and it'll be a Clement

I just got back from my first gig with #202-which I bought on ebay on a whim because I had been looking for a 4 string jazz style bass with mahogany body and ebony fretboard - and one day it just popped up from this Clement dude. Anyway, the more I play it, and tweak the sound and fit the more I am falling in love. I definitely have the inverse of the honeymoon period. I am skeptical and do a lot of tweaking at first, then either grow towards or away from a bass. I know this one is going to be around for a long time - and I am hopeful that I will have the same experience with #215 to cover my 5 string needs.

Btw-#202 performed really well at the gig. My wife said she could tell I was really comfortable with it and it sat nicely in the mix. I will post gig pics when I get them.

Back after 2 weeks in China, and pleased to see all the great new work, ideas and members. Looking forward to seeing and hearing the finished products.
Had a bit of withdraw not being able to play a bass for that time, but I did manage to play (very poorly) the Guqin - A very cool 7 string zither with a soulful tone. A new avenue to explore. Found a few inexpensive ones on Ebay that are probably good enough to get started with.

 

[tjclem]

Welcome back we need to hear about the trip it must have been cool what was the strangest thing you ate?

 

[Nofretz6]

Hmmmm...Toss up between Scorpion and Donkey. Not that strange, but different.

 

[tjclem]

Don't know bro scorpion sounds pretty different to me...t

 

[wavey davey]

Did it taste like Chicken?
