Throughout my 30 odd years of on and off playing there have been many basses from Rics to Hondos and honestly, all of my Clement basses have exceeded my expectations. He's a great guy to deal with throughout the build process with photo updates, emails and suggestions. Frankly, these are the only basses in my collection, all the rest have been donated to charities since they were just gathering dust.

Shaped, slotted and fretted by Tom. This is the best 4 string fretted bass I've had as far as playability.
Either running through my Eden, Paul Jones or recording software, the jazz Barts provide enough punch for any type of music style.
Tom selects the best wood and equipment for all of his custom builds. I have never had to adjust any basses, with the exception of one which was due to a certain negligent postal carrier. I feel this, along with the others, will last me a lifetime.
