Tom Clement basses are fantastic, take it from me, i have played many of them, and hopefully soon i will own one.

#215 is assembled. It came in at 8lbs which was my target weight. Awesome. I can't wait to see it finished.

Nice!

Hey Tom, I'm seriously thinking of turbo charging my bass (a second Nordstrand DC humping the bridge and active EQ) but I was wondering, do you wire your basses in series or parallel by default?

What finish was used on this bass?
I'm looking for something like this to finish mine

Clement #213

Here it is Tom's working on finishing soon but will likely be delayed by much birthday celebration.
Ash Body
Maple neck
Bloodwood Fingerboard
Single passive Bart MM p/u

Was looking for something straightforward contrasting my Roscoe with lots o' mwah. This is the second bass Toms done for me and he was somehow even better to work with a second time.

7.7 lbs. And sure looks sunny down there in Florida.

Here it is finished...

 

[tantetruus]

too bad, im looking for something that wont give the usual "yellow" glow.
White should stay white so to speak.
That would also men a lot of uv protection for the long run..

 

[tjclem]

no such thing sorry.....t

If anyone can build a double neck with a manageable weight it would be Tom.

My brother in law struggled with this recently on his hardwood floors. Pretty much the only thing he could come up with was staining the floors a light transparent white and then finishing them.

FWIW, the Nordstrand DC sounds nice in series, parallel, and split. For some reason or another, it almost seems like Nordstrand DCs pair perfectly with an Audere pre-amp IMHO.

I'm familiar with the procedure; whitewash its called over here.
Might be an option white wise, but it wont be very natural

Just put in my order with Tom
#216 has got my name it... or on a sheet of paper somewhere.

Well, about keeping wood light... there is lacquer with white tone in it, keeps the wood light. but don't know how suitable it is for instruments. I've used it on floors....

I just happen to like the way series sounds for dual-coil pickups but I do like the idea of having a switch. As far as preamps I'm probably gonna stick with Bartolini. They're the cheapest and sound fantastic .

Hello Sub, and welcome to the clement forum. Are you willing to share the details of #216 ?
