  • Hey Ed, Have you thought about doing a book on playing chords on the bass?

  • @chrispurchase - yes I have, but my publisher (Hal Leonard) believes that it's too much of a niche topic. Not enough interest for them to print one. I think they are probably right, and besides... Mike Dimin has a book out about chords, so there is an alternative.

  • @BassGuitarMag A book on jazz-style bass chords would be the best thing ever.

  • @squiresuzuki - Well, if you can find a trove of old Bass Player magazines, I did two articles on that subject under the title Piccolo bass. November 2001 and Feb. 2002.

  • Wow! You actually found an instrument that surpassed your Zon TJ6?

  • @JAldwin - It's not a matter of surpassing the Zon, in many ways, this bass does not. But in others ways, I simply prefer it. With the Clement, I fine tuned the dimensions a bit - the string spacing, the pickup placement, how it hangs on the strap. And, ultimately I discovered that in spite of all the advantages it offers, graphite does not have the sound I'm looking for.

  • Dear Santa, for Christmas I would like 10% of the skills Ed has.

    Awesome work, must go practice.

  • If I ever get another 6er it'll probably be a Tom Clement. Besides that, amazing playing as always! I wish more soloing bassists had your sense of melody. You make solos sound like a little song within a song instead of just a bunch of notes :).

  • I am giving tom a downpayment next week for a six with a redwood top. HUZZAH!

  • How's the fretwork? I'm thinking about having a 6 built and Tom is at the top of the list.

  • Hi Ed!.

    I very like the sound of Fender. I plan to start to play; which model would you recommand?

    Thank you,

    Jean-Charles
