Ashdown 'The Grail' Short Scale Bass £400 Newcastle upon Tyne

[benebass]

Hi - bought this on here a while ago & it's lovely, but putting it up for sale as it's not seeing a lot of use just now & it deserves to be played...

 

This is one of the Dan Lakin (Lakland founder) range that Ashdown put out for a while. It's a really well-thought out take on a Jazz with a really nice oil-finished neck, Hipshot Ultralite tuners & the Inca Silver body is proportioned just right to the shorter scale (unlike a few I've tried...). Really light at 3.5kg & strung with D'Addario tapes. Bridge has been swapped out for a vintage threaded one, but I have the original Wilkinson one so will include it along with a gig bag.

 

Pickups are a good pair of single coils & controls are Volume / Blend / Tone. Only thing to point out is the blend is backwards (i.e. turn right to favour the neck) - not sure if that's standard, but not been a problem to me.

 

Collection from Newcastle would be preferred, but UK postage at cost should be fine at cost.

 

I'd consider trades for a short scale bass with cash either way depending on the instrument, but not after anything specific at the moment. Give me a shout if you're interested... 👍
