My new Tom Clement 4-string fretless is done, and should be one its way to me (after Tom gets one more jam session with it:D).

Needless to say, I can't wait to get it in my hands! :hyper:

Tom.

Always great stuff here!
The Dingwall; the D Fernandez; the ACG; really, really nice.

Kind of a Pedulla MVP meets Lecompte P4T:

(The Color & final P/G shape are yet to be determined)

Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited by the way my ACG is coming out too. And you two both have some incredible looking basses in the works as well. I've always admired Bud's designs and those two look especially good.

I recently got another update from Alan on my ACG Recurve 6 and it has been routed for electronics and is in the finishing process now. I think the camphor top and back will really "pop" when the finish is applied. Won't be long now!

That's a big Bee. Looks great :bassist:
 
So no love for Swedish basses? :D

Sorry dude,
I got love for your bass dude ;)
Been watching your thread over the pond on b******t though, and you haven't updated the pics on there... :(

Think your bass is going to really be something special.
Really intrigued in how the 32" scale works out on the 5 string, seeing as I play 33" 5 and 6 string basses...

Cheers for now,
Eude
