Fender Ashbory Bass for Sale

Michael — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:09:05 +0000

My black Fender Ashbory Bass is up for sale. This Ashbory provided the deep rumbling bass for the Runner on the Obviously 5 Believers CD.

Despite the diminutive size and cute appearance, Ashbory basses are capable of some very impressive sounds including from deep vintage bass guitar tones, synth-like bass sounds and a very passable amplified double bass.

The price for this bass is £220 including the original Ashbory soft case, strap and rubber straplocks. It is available for cash on pickup only.

If you have £220, can get to South London and want an Ashbory bass, please me know via the o5b contact page.

This Ashbory has an Ashbory logo silk screened on the body and a small “Designed and Backed by Fender” logo on the back of the headstock. It was made in Korea in 2007 before production moved to indonesia.
There is no difference in how my two Ashborys play or sound, but I prefer the colour of my metallic blue one so this black one has remained in its case as a spare most of the time. The condition is very close to perfect as it has been very well looked after. The control cavity on the back even has the original plastic film protection still in place and I could find no scratches or dings except for a barely noticeable chip on the back of the headstock.

I can bring this bass along to the Oval Tavern Jam Night (2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month) If you’d like to hear & try it.

We thoroughly enjoyed last nights gig. Thanks again to the Oval Tavern for having us back and thanks to everyone who came along.

Here is our version of Charlie Poole’s “If I lose” from the gig.

On this song, Pete used his Deering goodtime open-backed banjo amplified using a pickup made from the lid of a mustard jar.

If we can we always try to get to the acoustic / blues jam night hosted by the mighty Simon each second & fourth Tuesday at the Oval Tavern. The next on is on 25th May and we are planning to be there. If you play an instrument or sing, why not come along and join in?

We also have a full o5b gig at the Oval on Thursday 27th May.
