Ashbory Bass

Ashbory Bass

Made by Fender in Indonesia

One of the most unique and funky basses out there.

Solid body fretless bass that uses silicone strings and a piezo pickup through active electronics to create a super mellow sound. Think of a fretless bass that had a baby with a double bass and then got fitted with strings that are flatter than the flattest flat wound strings that have ever been flattened. Really soft attack with tons of low end.

It’s perfect for slides and vibrato lines. Or you can palm mute and add some effects for a warm analog bass synth style sound.

A very different style of playing but lots of fun. A totally unique playing experience.

With a scale length of only 45cm and a total length of around 76cm it’s one of the smallest basses you can get. Put your guitarist to shame with the diminutive size of your instrument.

It even has its own Wikipedia page:

Includes custom gig bag, custom strap, talcum power (which acts as string lubricant) and three spare sets of silicone strings.

These are like hen’s teeth and rarely come up for sale in Europe.
