This is a beautiful instrument. I really don't want to sell it, but it is better if it gets played on a regular basis than just being owned...

I have come to a decision to sell my beautiful Tom Clement "Anne" that I got in a trade with Mr Walker earlier this year. Why? Well, I found myself a six string Dingwall Prima bass that gets all my attention, so this beauty goes. I attach a link to the builder's website where he describes the making of this particular bass: [url="http://www.clementbass.com/2014/01/the-clement-singlecut-anne-chambered-bass/"]http://www.clementba...chambered-bass/[/url] I'll try to describe how the bass feels to me... The neck is slim in a nice manner, with a rather flat profile. Mahogany and bubinga if I remember correctly. Ebony board. Body is a single piece of swamp ash with a Spanish cedar top. The neck is offset from the body centerline to make the bass good to play sitting as well as standing. The balance and weight is - well - I'd use the expression zero gravity... The tone... Talk about tone is like dance about architecture, but I give it a try: imagine something between a P-bass and Anthony Jackson's tone with the single Bartolini humbucker, and an acoustic guitar an octave lower with the piezo. Kind of Nathan East[i]-ish[/i]! Mix and match, or either or... There has been a Roland GK-3B pickup mounted on it, also a ramp (that got lost), hence some visible small screw holes. I attach some pic's of my own... No downside? Well - one. The electronics isn't that well planned. I've had the intention to rewire it to get it to work better. Why? Simple! The magnetic pickup and the piezo are buffered into a Stellartone Tonestyler. That won't do. The Tonestyler is a passive instrument's gadget. Since the buffer is set BEFORE the Tonestyler it makes nearly no difference. My plan was either to remove the Tonestyler or wire it after the Bart but before the buffer. However, a nice Dingwall got in the way, so I haven't done anything. This means the buyer can do as (s)he wants: pull the Tonestyler out and put in another bass - that's what I really would have done - or have the thing rewired. As is now the Piezo is a bit "unreliable"; it works fully, but not always, due to the wiring. The Roland hex pickup comes in the package. The bass is delivered in a Protec Contego case/bag. D'Addario strings played on one gig by me, a player without handsweat. Dunlop Straplock system. This is a very nice instrument that needs a good home and to be played and loved... More pic's on demand via PM. Only trade that may interest me is a Dingwall NG-2, the wilder the colour, the better... Good continuation of the holiday season, //Roger

Give me an offer I can't refuse! I'd like some of these: - Ashdown ABM (Made in UK) - RMI Basswitch (Lehle associated...) - Something nice and valuable... - Hard cash

Up!

SOLD!

Up! Give him a match!

Up!

What spacing @ bridge on these...?

If you have a Dingwall NG-2 in a [color=#800080][b]WILD colour[/b][/color], I'm more than happy to make a trade...

Get this one before Warwick basses get hot and expensive again! A really good bass that deserves to be used. Top condition! Naturally complete with "service book", a wax can and a cover which isn't a flabby Rockbag kind of bag. Most Warwick five strings - and sixes - are as heavy as a front door and very neck heavy; however, not this one. Of course it is heavier than a P'62 but still has an okay weight. (Do not ask about kilos and hectograms: I have no scales, but a slipped disc. This bass is no problem for me whatsoever.) Balance is very good; it hangs where you want it to hang without bowing to the queen and such. Moreover, equipped with D'Addario Flex Steel used once in a church gig, so basically new, played by a bassist without a shred of hand perspiration. Buy it before I change my mind!

Check new price!

Buy this beauty! It looks good on my wall, but better on your belly...

Sold! Thanx everybody!

[quote name='davidak' timestamp='1446790943' post='2902332'] I wish I would be 5 string player, what a nice JO! I assume it is alder body, as long as it has solid finish? Good luck with the sale. [/quote] The thing with Lakland five strings is the string spacing like on four strings, ie. 3/4". It feels "at home" even for a four string player...

Wow! Rush hour for this bass. I have it on hold over the weekend. Check back...
