Club Clement (Part 7: Post your basses here)

I dunno, seems to fit.

BTW, work has started on my Anne. Tom routed it yesterday. Very cool to receive the production photos step-by-step.

Nice!

So, back from London with #010. Needs a new nut (or at least a drop-fill) and I've decided that the Roto RS77 on her are way too slippy so might go for a groundwound. But what's niggling me is that Carvin 'bucker, mainly the way it looks on the bass itself. It's an M22B, ceramic and loud, may be a bit too loud. The tone isn't that bad but I now keep thinking that the pup is aesthetically incongruous with the instrument itself.

Very cool good to know it is still out there.

Tom, she's a beaut. Decided to get an Allparts Bubinga cover for the 'bucker for the meantime. Glad I was gifted her back by an old mate.

Great I wonder how many owners she has had?

Dunno; when did you build her? There's been at least three that I'm aware of: USA owner, my mate and, lastly, myself.

My records of the early builds are very rough. I believe 1998

Well, she's been well looked after. Most of the clear coat is gone from the 'board but otherwise she looks great.

Not sure I would have put anything on the FB. So long ago I really have no idea. All I would do now with it is wet sand it with Danish oil

So, as suggested I put a few coats of Danish oil on the 'board a few weeks ago and it looks great. Also got an Allparts Bubinga cover for the 'bucker. Holes in surround don't quite line up so going to have to fill n drill this weekend.

Latest beauty I'm receiving from Tom, and yes that is a Roasted Maple and Dymondwood neck. Best fretless basses you can get for the price, easily... just saw that there's a sale going on now too on his FB page.

This little bass must be the fastest gun in the western Universe. Still living & working in the Arctic. #287 is still my favorite. I´ve had them all (Fodera, Sadowsky, etc), but this one kills them all!

Totally agree on the shirts... and that's a screaming deal on his basses.
