OK. In case you did not see elsewhere and to make it official here are my 3 Clement Darlene basses. Same body shape / different voices. 2 fretless and 1 fretted. Hope this is inspiring to any and all. To me it's exciting just to own and play out on a Clement. Story of my Clement owner ship. First one (122) is a Jon, second (196) is an Anne. These 2 got together and produced Darlene basses and here they are. True story.View attachment 690241

She's a real looker. Now how about the tone, what were you aiming for? Enjoy the new bass.

Mine has the 3b-4a in it, volume/volume, tone (active/passive), mid (push/pull), and treble/bass. Switches are for splitting the dual coils (parallel wind, alnico 3). I really dig the purpleheart with the buckeye!

Figured I should provide an update on 377: Probably the best instrument I've ever had the pleasure to play (even better than the Monette trumpet I used to play). Sounds amazing both active and passive. Fit and finish are superb! Just need to add a string retainer and everything will be perfect. Thanks Tom!
