Musicman20 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It'd be easier if they just sold to shops direct now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fftc Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hopefully it will be a bit easier to get hold of one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I never understood why these classy instruments were such a niche market. Well, apart from the ugly headstocks, that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's all the name on the headstock. If it were a Fender model (brand not designer) and came out in the 70s it'd sell great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I've fancied an ASAT for years but I've never even seen one in a uk shop, and only very rarely from online sellers. They come up on here occasionally but it's always been the wrong time for me. Hopefully the new distribution deal will make them a bit less rare over here.

Not sure the shop will be there in January, he's closing this year I believe. Following him on Facebook he's putting some very good bargains out there, make him an offer if you can.

The new bass fund is pitifully low at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
