Happy Jack Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tom-Clement-five-string-fretless-bass-guitar-/182227240939?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 I imagine it's a lovely bass, and probably plays really sweetly. But [i][b]BY GOD[/b][/i] is it ugly or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Now I know who Steve Wishnevsky copped his designs from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scojack Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 This looks very early for Tom, his later stuff is awfully nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 No uglier than some other single-cut designs. Tom's basses are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just had a quick Google of Tom Clement basses & my god, he's made some horrors. Now I'm sure as musical instruments they're impeccable, but he appears to have made an art-form of that wonky, cock-eyed, slightly queasy wrongness that usually typifies the home-made bass. Taste is a curious and unquantifiable thing, innit? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Some single cuts work, and look nice, others are really ugly. Not mentioning which ones though, for fear of reprisals 😊. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not sure about wings ... they look more like thighs. But then, it's been a long time since I had a KFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
