So Ashdown is doing basses now, huh?

[Schlatte]

and they are quite the looker actually...


I mean it ticks all the boxes... Matching Headstock anyone?
They're not the cheapest, but for sure they don't have the low quality knock-off vibe going. Which is nice.
Anyone have experience with one of those? I may be tempted by something like this...

Huh this is news to me. Looks quite cool.

Shape + layout reminds me a lot of the Ibanez Talman basses.

True!
They have a whole lineup, actually: https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/basses
It is quite the sechs, I'd like to try one of those...

[coldbrightsunlight]

Nothing unique but they look pretty cool. Would be nice to try one

[sears]

superficially they're kind of an improvement on what Reverend does nowadays

Immediately thought of both of these as well

[Blackened Soul]

how generic..

[Chankgeez]

Generic or not, I'd rock one of those in purple!

[coldbrightsunlight]

how generic..

Yeah.

And yet nice and I like how they're doing P/J config which is great.

Maybe its different here.. Does Europe have a shortage of pj fender/ibanez/schecter/yamaha/ltd/ 4 basses?

[alexsga]

co-designed with Dan Lakin of Lakland fame - even the headstock font looks similar

Not really. I just dislike the designs of a lot of those in very small unimportant ways My bandmate has an Ibanez talman and I actually really like it but it's active which is bleh.

I really want a yamaha BB sometimes whenever I think about getting a new bass.

Keep in mind my comments are from someone who has a fender J and a fender P/J and has enough basses, but just likes looking at nice things. I would probably go for one of those other options before buying these if I was in the market in the first place for another fretted bass.

As we established recently in another thread I'm just another boring person who loves fender basses



EDIT: I take it back there are some cool schecters

[coldbrightsunlight]

You jerk you've reminded me how much I want a Yamaha BB

[qersty]

If you get a BB you gotta go with the active ones tho

[coldbrightsunlight]

No some of them are passive? Seem to be from my research
