And excellent demo of a very similar bass - -
It is indeed. -
I'm in Margate in Kent.

This lovely old Moon is back up for grabs. Now £750 👌🏻

A stab at some Royal Blood 🤘🏻

It's in excellent condition mate, no blemishes to speak of. I've had a quick run up and down the neck and there aren't any dead spots 👍🏻
-
Bump 👍🏻

A hell of a lot of bass for the money 👌🏻
-
That's the one 👌🏻
-
Thanks 👍🏻

On hold -
It really is a versatile bit of kit. It's now boxed up and ready to go, I can include delivery to your door in the asking price 👍🏻 -
Thanks mate, that's good to hear 👍🏻

Thanks, Andy 👍

As Andy said, it’s definitely not an Instinct as they had solid finishes and no angled headstock. The Instincts were also built in China I believe, this was built in Czech. This is a P model so obviously wouldn’t have twin J pickups and a preamp. Interestingly I removed the neck to adjust the truss rod when I got it (you only actually have to remove the scratch plate), and it’s stamped “P1”, so could well be the first P model made. I’ll see if I can get some more info from Ashdown.

Indeed, perhaps not one for the traditionalists. Although saying that, it's essentially a 24 fret P bass!

Lodestone P Artist bass up for grabs. This bass was the premium model in the Lodestone range. I've heard various reports of these retailing between £1400 and £2k new! It's a very well put together bass with a gorgeous poplar burl top and deep trans black gloss finish. The neck is somewhere between a P and J in width and has a great feeling Musicman-esque olied finish. It features the Status designed (I think) swept back headstock which is smaller in the flesh than I thought it would be. I've attached a photo next to my Jag for comparison. It's equipped with a punchy sounding EMG pickup, a high mass bridge and lightweight Gotoh tuners. It weighs 3.9kg/8.6lb and is well balanced on the strap. It doesn't have a case but I can package well if postage is required.
-
Agreed. I'm not 100% sold on the ergonomic benefits of the design, I just think it looks cool! Lots of photos I've seen over emphasise the headstock but it's actually less imposing than you'd think in the flesh. Re the potential thumb rest, I suppose you could. I haven't felt the need to drift away fromy usual spot above the pickup to to be honest.
-
Thanks 👍🏻
-
It did look a bit odd on the Ashdown site, probably due to flash photography. It's a lovely burled top but you can only really see it up close due to the trans black finish.
-
Thanks, I'll pass the compliment on to Mark (singer) who was the brains behind it 👍🏻

Another lockdown collaboration 🤠 Michelle by the Beatles

Haha, I've just seen this thread. I was ogling it for a while and eventually pressed the button. I've since had confirmation of the start date of (more!) building work on my house so lots of my basses are going up for sale, this included. If anyone is interested, let me know. For sale thread coming soon.
-
Just to clarify, I'm open to trades as long as there's a fair bit of cash my way 👍🏻
-
Thinking about it this is worth more than my first three cars put together 😁
