I think these aren’t production models - they’re from Ashdown’s covid sell off.
This is Poplar Burl top under black gloss - Made in the Czech factory.
There were 3 or 4 prototypes and “oddities” they sold off. A red J, a 5 string black J, and white Czech P and this.
I know because I nearly bought this bass from Lee at Ashdown. But I ended up getting a Sadowsky.
Also, the Instinct stuff didn’t have the angled peghead.
