Isn't that Traynor's bass?
I have that pic too in the Fenderbird folder that I sent to BaCH :toast:

Anyone tried the Ashdown Lowrider yet?

It's typical how they avoid the whole Fenderbird name as well as John Entwistle in their marketing...

I like the color scheme and the rosewood board. Looks like Jazz nut width, but can't say for sure. Not crazy about the look of the MM pups, and the bridge looks cheap. I didn't even know Ashdown made basses!

I clicked on the link after I made my initial comments. Yes, Jazz width. Also several colors and choice of rosewood or maple. Pickups do sound good. That lobster dude does some of the better bass demos I've seen.

He's a bit too enthousiastic is his comment. Like he's on the paylist of Ashdown.
