New Clayton sig

I'm not very into J's, but this colour, matching headstock, block markers... imagine it with more chrome!

[Pilgrim]

Doesn't look all that different from any other J, but I love the color and the matching headstock.  Add a bridge cover and pickup cover, and there's enough chrome to make me happy!

[Dave W]

The color in that pic doesn't look like Sherwood Green, at least not on my monitor, and the one he's holding in the video looks more like Ocean Turquoise.

That's a great looking bass, but I've already got my "token Fender" (Geddy Jazz).

[drbassman]

Yep, one j is a like just about any other j bass, but this color and the blocks are very nice!

[Thornton Davis]

What's the street price expected to be for this bass?

TD

[Chris P.]

I don't even know if it's CS, MIA, MIM, ...

[dadagoboi]

Clayton talks about his influences and gives a tour of the bass.



No price or country of origin

All specs and the same vid in this link. 1800 dollars.

[Dave W]

With that price and the urethane finish, I'd say it's MIA.

[Chris P.]

Yes, I guess it's a bit in between the American Standards and the Vintage series.

Blocks without binding... nah.

[maxschrek]

Blocks without binding... nah.

Exactly. Woulda been a deal killer if I had been interested to begin with.

[gearHed289]

Blocks without binding... nah.

I noticed that too. I kinda like it with rosewood/pearl. Not a huge fan of binding. OTOH, I REALLY dig the black binding/black blocks on the Ged.

[dadagoboi]

That's a '66 clone: blocks, no binding with lollipops.  At least that's faithful to Clayton's original.

The high mass bridge not so much.  I wonder why they didn't use a threaded saddle bridge and clone his pickups if he loves the sound of his original as much as he says he does.
