Club Clement (Part 7: Post your basses here)

[gscroggin]

If anyone is still on the fence about Tom's basses, just do yourself a favor and order one..

Now here's a photo of it in the studio in January:

@naetog, that's a seriously nice pedalboard too!

That is one beautiful set up. To bring your story to life - would love to hear some sound samples. Between the Phoenix and your awesome pedalboard - the sounds should be nectar for the the audio gods!

Thanks!
We're almost done recording.
I have one track to do tomorrow, and there's a bit of vocal to do, but otherwise I should have some samples soon.

Here is my newest from Tom. It is insane...32 scale. 28 frets (design choice for time being built) Nordstrand dual

coils. Headless.

Very nice... that 2-tone Amboyna is amazing!

New Clement bass that I couldn't be happier with. Sold my Fodera Imperial 6 days after this came in, a bass that I was otherwise extremely happy with for years but it just didn't scratch the itch like this Clement does.

Particularly happy with the impeccable neck and fretwork, and how Tom nailed the sound that I was after.

Oh Man! That is just amazingly beautiful!
Tom has the touch.

Just put down a deposit on my first Clement bass. Here are the specs:
4 string lefty fretless
Kim body shape
alder body
Claro walnut top
maple neck with 2 wenge stringers
unlined Pao Ferro fingerboard
Norstrand Np4a and Big Split pickups
passive VVT controls
black hardware
The wood choices were inspired by Clement #454 shown in this tread a few pages back.
Looking forward to it!

 

[Indiedog]

Congrats! Please keep us informed and post photos when you get it.

Will do. The only pic I have so far is the claro walnut top so I might as well post it right:

 

[Indiedog]

Lovely!

@tjclem is a stellar builder and good all around guy. This should be a cool build to watch come together!

I absolutely love this bass.
It's totally stunning.
Enjoy!

Tom found some padauk and offered it for my neck stringers - I said yes!

Change of plans for the fingerboard. Tom offered my curly Katalox for my unlined fretless and I accepted. Being radiused:

Very cool!

I must admit ignorance of the wood; so I looked it up:
