Raj_Shredder Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) I picked this one up off of Reverb yesterday. It arrived today and only needed a bit of adjusting. I’m super impressed by how nicely it plays. Mwah for days. The Nordstrand electronics are about as versatile as they get. This is my first Clement bass and I am very impressed. Great craftsmanship. 👍🏻 Nordstrand Dual Coils Nordstrand 3b-5b Pre Series/Parallel/Single Coil Switches Hipshot Hardware Mahogany Body Spalted Maple Top 5 Piece Neck of Maple and ???

Grahambythesea Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I’m curious, is there any point in having the body extend to the 12th in that way? Does it improve sustain or something? It must add considerably to the weight of the instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve owned many single cut basses and I really like them, but I know they aren’t for everyone and I’m okay with that. The bass balances extremely well and I really like the tone and playability. I don’t find it to be heavy. It might be a bit over nine pounds. The aesthetics are fine with me too. So, I’m happy with it. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn_day Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Nice! I have had a Clement Anne 5 string fretless (semi-chambered) for years and love it. It's a much better instrument than I can do justice to, but I enjoy it every time I pick it up. Enjoy the Florida beauty! Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the Florida beauty! Phil That’s a beauty!! I really am quite happy with mine. I’m finally getting a chance to put some rounds on it today. It came with tapewounds on it which sound and feel great, but I’m definitely not impressed enough to make the change. im definitely very happy with this bass.
