So youre the bastard! I went to the merseyside guitar show where Ash had this bass. I saw it and tried it and fell in love with it immediately. I wanted the dam thing but didnt have the scratch at the time. You are a lucky lucky lucky man. I remember Ash saying he sold it to a fellow baschatter, which is a good thing i gues (though i would have preferred it to be me)
I also cant say how amazing this sounds without you being there personally to witness it, and its playability is tops too. Just sounds amazing!
