Deposit is sent. Order is in. And now, the wait.....Tom, I assume you don't mind me posting the pic of the top from your FB account? (I happened to see it there). I'm a first-time Clement Bass customer, so you all be nice to me, right?
What's your build number?
Haven't gotten one yet. Deposit was last night and rather late in the evening. I'm quite sure I'll hear something today.

Here we go sir. The neck and headstock is a roasted flame maple. Body wood is swamp ash
Bookmatched figured myrtle top, single piece swamp ash body, subtle Ipe fingerboard, plain hard maple neck, black veneer between top and body, oiled, 4 string, string through body, black hardware, fretless, no lines/no dots, passive with single volume and tone controls, and the new P style split pickup from Carvin I will send him. The top you would have to see to really grasp - it's really different. I'm planning on playing rounds, not flats. Tom tells me that Ipe is harder than ebony. Hooray!I cry foul! You must post details

Sweet, single pickup? I've been getting into Carvin's stuff lately myself. Just got a new amp from them, the BX1600. My Clements sound awesome through it! Their stuff is a great bang for the buck.
Good to see that Ipe being used, that's a beautiful piece of wood.
Yes, sir - single pickup. I really want a single P style pickup with rounds on bare wood. The piece of Ipe we have chosen is a darker piece with a much more subtle grain - I was concerned about something with a stronger striped color variation sitting over the amazingly figured top we're using.
Ok, no comments so here we go. Lemme know whatchu think.
First, the top:
Lastly, the fingerboard (in this photo the stencil is moved - it will look like the first pic, not this one - but you can still get an idea of the board).

I'm back in the Clement game with this bass that I pulled down from the classifieds a short time ago. I had a Clement built for me a couple years ago and ended up selling it after a year or so. I've owned probably 8-10 other fretless basses in that time and have come back around to another of Tom's basses. I'm enjoying this one. Here is a cell phone pic for now.

No problem, Tom. I'm like a little kid in a candy store and way too excited to be dampened one little bit (but no pressure!).
