Prices and options

All the basses I build are custom instruments with various wood combinations and hardware options. I think it is really exciting when my customers approach me with a dream bass and ask me to build it for them. In the process, we decide on hardware, wood selection, and so on. As a consequence, the price of the bass will be highly dependent on the options selected and whether you provide the hardware yourself or not.

 

The base prices for Clement basses are:

- 4-string: $1450 

- 5-string: $1675 

- 6-string: $2000

The basic specifications included at this price are:

Spanish Cedar or Limba (two-piece  one of the standard body shapes as shown on this page)
One-piece bolt-on 1/4 sawn hard maple neck
Fretless un-lined Ebony or Bloodwood fingerboard
Two Bartolini pickups or Nordstrand Big Singles, Big Split or Jazz pickups Passive electronics (volume/volume/tone or volume/balance/tone)
Hipshot Ultralight tuners

Finish: Satin polyurethane finish on Spanish cedar and similar, oil finish on Mahogany, Swamp Ash, Black Limba, Walnut and similar.
