I'm in too with those girls.

Love the family photos.

 

[Cliff Bordwell]

I'm in!

Is that a Ziricote fingerboard?

 

[tjclem]

Yes Cliff it is. Considering we are so close one day we will have to get together for a cold one.

This is #308, the Arctic fretless, before sanding and finish.

Looking forward to seeing that finished. What did the weight come in at?


Once It stops raining here and I'm home I need to take a Family photo of the brothers Mike. They have put an end to my substantial GAS problem.

Well... I haven´t asked. Tom knows.

Here are the twins Mike...

308 weighs 8 lbs

308 weighs 8 lbs

7.5 to 9 is about perfect for me.

Nice looking twins!

 

[aproud1]

Nice looking twins!

Thanks! Im very, very happy with both of them. Possibly considering a preamp for the fretless.

 

[tombowlus]

Is that a Ziricote fingerboard?

I know that Tom already confirmed this, but yes, it is. In addition to this Clement fretless, I also own a (fretted) Dingwall Z3 with a zirocote board, and it sounds great on both basses. Somewhat like ebony, but without the pronounced "ping."

Here she is, #308 the Arctic fretless.
Must say I´m very pleased!

Wow! That is a beauty.

 

[nordicjazz]

Wow! That is a beauty.

Kudos to Tom! Great work! Very simple, yet very good looking. Bet this is a fast bass!

Must say I´m very pleased!

Are you a Gary Willis fan?

 

[nordicjazz]

Are you a Gary Willis fan?

Well, Willis has some good ideas about both instruments and music that works. I play with a floating thumb, and a ramp is very effective for this technique. Also makes you faster.

You are thinking about the Ibanez GWB, right? That bass has been an inspiration, but instead of going Japanese, I knew a guy in Florida who could do it like I wanted
