Sweden. I really don't need it: have a Quilter and a Vanderkley Spartan. But I like it. No funds as in hard cash right now, happened to buy Dingwall n:o 5 last weekend. Just have some stuff to trade, if trades are okay.

I love these amps! I had one exactly like yours some years ago; the 2 ohm option is valuable and useful. The tone shaping section is killer! Unfortunately, my "toy account" is somewhat empty after buying my fifth Dingwall. Just sale or open for trade?

I am in Sweden. It is NOT an acoustic bass, but a chambered electric bass, so the acoustic tone is not comparable to a real acoustic bass guitar. It has recessed Dunlop straplocks. Well, sure you can throw your P5 and J5 in my direction. I have a really nice Voodoo Prima 6 too, that MAY be for trade or sale. A real stunner.

My bathroom scales say around 3,7 kg, which is around 8,1 lbs. Heavier than I thought, but in relation to its size it feels like air.

The bass is packed in its bag; I have to dig it up from my magazine first. I had a back surgery some years ago, and this bass is by far the lightest I've ever owned. I get back soon...

After some consideration I have decided this nice six string bass has to go, since my six string playing is kind of non-existent. This is a prototype built by Tom Clement some years ago. The bass has a lot of influences, like the Fodera AJ Presentation bass, with its off-center "center line", where the lower part of the body is wider for better rest when playing sitting down, and a more narrow upper half, making it feeling comfortable and not so big. This bass is big. Really big. The almost completely routed body is some 3" deep, and has an upper bout stretching to the 12th fret. The body is made of a single piece of "heavily routed" super light swamp ash, with a top of Spanish cedar. The neck is very slim and comfortable, made of mahogany and bubinga with an ebony fingerboard. All hardware is Hipshot: Ultralites and an A-bridge with piezo pickups. The spacing is 18 mm, the scale is 34". Dunlop recessed strap locks. Bartolini pickup and preamp. The bass has been somewhat "cleansed", since the electronics compartment was a bit... blurry. Now the bass has volume and balance control. No tone pot, but there is place for it; I just didn't have any suitable pot at hand... The tone is something! With the active Bartolini humbucker you get a tone somewhere between a P-bass and Anthony Jackson , if you got my point. With the piezo pickup you get a very vibrant acoustic tone, best described as a nylon stringed guitar an octave down. Then you can mix the two. There are some holes after the previous owner's Roland synth bass pickup and ramp, visible in the pictures. Here is a link to the building log: http://www.clementbass.com/2014/01/the-clement-singlecut-anne-chambered-bass/ The bass is delivered in a Mono M80 gig bag. The strings are Thomastik Jazz Rounds. If you haven't tried these: you'll be very surprised. There is also an almost new kit of more ordinary strings in the bag, I think D'Addario nickels. No trades, unless you have a Dingwall Super J5 or Super P5 for part trade. The bass can be shipped on buyer's expense.

This is a real beauty; it even looks good with the pickguard. I've had a sunburst one, also have a fretless. And a 55-04 DeLuxe. The fretless 55-02 is the favourite of them... GLWTS!
