Did anyone but one of these basses. Ashdown seem to be promoting them quite heavily on social media. It gives the impression that they've not sold well? Maybe they have sold well?

The Lowrider looks cool, with the glaring exception of that hideous pickguard. What were they thinking? Still, it's not as though you can't remove a pickguard.

The white shorty Grail is constantly whispering sweet nothings in my ear. If I get drunk over Christmas and there's more money knocked off it i might embarrass myself.

For anybody that is interested in how these basses sound Anderton's has compared them. Here's the link .

I quite like the Saint model and The Arc model. Very tempting indeed!

That Thunderbird (ish) - no raised section, terrible scratchplate - sounds awful...

Tell ya how Ashdown would have got my grand post haste.

51/Tele style body, single coil HEADLESS like Dusty's in Sharp Dressed Man ❤️

IIRC from a ZZ Interview with Mr Gibbons the headless Fender pair were Knock-Ups for the video and not actually working guitars...

I'm looking for a five string jazz bass. I am consider the Fender Player and the Ashdown. The black with maple fretboard is tempting

I’m really digging the Saint, serious Gas, yes they are nir original design or reinventing the wheel but they sound great, quality components and Ashdowns own custom Pick ups.
