Welcome to Tom Clement Basses

I live in Central Florida and build solid body and chambered bass guitars.

When you play one of my basses, it is my wish that you feel as good as I did when I built it! All my basses are built by hand in my workshop in Florida. I love creating basses using the finest woods and material and shaping it into a beautiful instrument. 

If you want a fretless bass featuring a bolt-on neck, fine workmanship and great sound, then a Clement Bass may be the bass for you. Oh, and I do build fretted basses and guitars, too!

Please feel free to browse through my site and read more about my basses. You will find photos of available body shapes, finished instruments, and sound samples of some of the basses I've built. I also hope that you take the time to read what my customers say about their Clement basses.

You will also find a list of available basses, as well as active eBay auctions.

 The Clement can certainly do the "Jaco thing" with the bridge pickup - the basic characters are all there: burpy mids, crisp attack, clarity and a beautiful singing sustain. My tendency is to roll off just slightly on the bridge pickup rather than solo it entirely, this retains pickup while emphasizing the articulation of the J. The Nordstrand P pickup draws a completely different dimension out of the bass. It plumps up the bridge pickup nicely when blended, but doesn't overpower it. The combined tone strikes me as the true voice of this bass - it's round and organic, with a nice touch of sibilance from the J pickup.
