There's the Ibanez Talman TMB35.
I touch on the heavy side but a fantastic bass. £230 in Bax at the mo but come up used around £150 if you keep yours eyes peeled.
That's a crazy amount of of bass for the money!
I bought the 5 string version brand new when they first came out. My only bass for ten years, then ended up back on fours but didn't sell it for another ten years as it was just too good to let go.
I did in the end as I just didn't play fives anymore.
There was a BBG4S on ebay a couple of days ago for £200 ono I think.
Fantastic bass for that money.
Here you go.

Ashdown replied on their Facebook page. The green single PU one is another prototype they're working on. I saw it pictured with a single PU pink one as well.
Maybe worth contacting them.
Next year will be my year. I fell five days in this year 🙈.
I'm planning on finishing all my projects and possibly selling some others next year.
Keep the cream so to speak.
That green one isn't listed on Ashdown's website.
The do a P, a J (in long and short scale), a non reverse T Bird type and The Saint (as per this thread but 34").
As these new ones are being released in April, and they do a long and short J, I'm plumping for these will be shortscale.
The Saints are all PJ and they don't list a green option so that green one must be a one off or another prototype.
Yeah that's the one, kind of. Her hand was obscuring the pickups in the picture I saw so I didn't realise it was different, individual bridge pieces too.
Lovely colour though.
Was that the picture of the girl playing it at their open day thing?
It looked lovely in that colour.
I don't know if that was shortscale or not, or whether these are to be honest. There's not a lot of info around which adds to the confusion.
Are these just the 34" Saints in new colours with a roasted board, or are they actually 30"?
The only thing I'm going on is the post on facebook in which Mark confirms they are shortscale. I don't mind if it's long to be honest though.
£299 seemed worth a punt. If I don't like it I'll just move it along, should get my money back without too much trouble.
There's two blue ones, a mid blue (kind of LPB) with a light maple board, and a darker blue with roasted maple board. Both look to be metallic but it's hard to tell in the single photos.
There's also a Shell Pink jazz, roasted maple, mint green pickguard prototype for the same price.
I've just seen a lovely looking shell pink shortscale on the @Ashdown Engineeringfacebook page.
I'm assuming 30" but it could be 32".
Also a sage green one which looks great too.
Hopefully they'll/he'll (does Mark Gooday himself post?) be along shortly with some more info.
