According to the Ashdown advert in the latest copy of Bass Guitar Magazine their ABM range was developed using a "57 Jazz" This bass guitar they used was so retro it was made 3 years before the Jazz Bass was actually invented!

How cool is that????

I'm off to play my 1948 Precision........

Herbie's is autumn of '59, oldest one I've ever heard of (he paid well over the odds for it as well $79!).
[/quote]Never in a million years is it a '59. Herbie Flower's Jazz is from late 1960, judging by the serial number.
