Club Clement (Part 6: Post your basses here)

[aproud1]

Only one bad thing: it is addictive!!!!

Big plus one. Just shot Tom an email to get my third Clement figured out...


I'm sure this is the bass that will make my wife understand?

I have a thread looking for 4 stringers with a jazz neck, 17.5mm spacing with a 1.5" nut. Does Clement offer any? Most basses are 19mm P bass spacing as 4 strings so any other options besides "jazzesque" basses are appreciated!

 

[plumcouleeman]

Waiting for delivery of my Clement #141.

 

[GODSBASSMAN]

plumcouleeman,
Congrats and welcome to "C" world

 

[AlNino10]

Some progress shots of #265!

Tom has been truly top notch in all aspects and a class act throughout the process thus far

Welcome to the madness, AlNino10

Tom will build to your specifications when it comes to these measurements, so the question must be yes, absolutely.

MrWalker,

I've got one more question for you regarding the Hipshot Headless System:

How well does the headless stay in tune compared with the "standard" Hipshot tuning machines? Perhaps there is no noticeable difference between the two systems?

MrWalker,

I've got one more question for you regarding the Hipshot Headless System:

How well does the headless stay in tune compared with the "standard" Hipshot tuning machines? Perhaps there is no noticeable difference between the two systems?

No noticeable difference so far, but I haven't tried it in high humidity or for temperature changes. I don't expect it to be any different. If anything, it'll probably be more stable, as the string is locked down tighter than on a "normal" tuning peg, and the string saddle is comparable to "normal" saddles.

Thanks again!

Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of a Clement Jon are? I am planning to order an SKB-44 (if it accepts a Jon) so that I have protection for my guitar from the minute it arrives. The SKB's maximum body length is 20.5".

Thanks to anyone who can advise.

She measures about 21,26" high and 12,99" wide or 54 x 33 cm.

 

[plumcouleeman]

Thanks so much, bompabass. Looks like I won't be ordering the SKB; only 20.5". Follow-up though: does the 21.26" include the strap pegs?

I've got inset Dunlop Strap Locks and I measured without them. There's nothing pointing out. It's the highest top of the horn to the bottom of the bass.

More #265 build photos!

Got them a couple of days ago, haven't had an opportunity to get all the shots together as the build is progressing like an express train! Tom builds quicker than I right click and save photos I'm not complaining though, love every moment of it!

Picking out the fingerboard.. Birdseye it is!

Slotting..

Now to the body!

Taking it's first shape..

 

[PassivAggressiv]

This is 264, ships tomorrow!

 

[FunkyMcNasty]

There is a Kim up for grabs on the bay that I ran across. Look
I'm not sure if its a TB'er or not, just thought I'd let everyone know.

 

[wavey davey]

Fine lookin beastie!

[PassivAggressiv]

Thanks! It should arrive soon.
