Ashbury AU-90 Uke Bass (Metal Stringed) - SOLD £125

[Mickeyboro]

SOLD! Solid spruce-fronted Uke Bass with flatwound metal rather than rubber strings.

Bought by me for use as a practice bass while on a fortnight's holiday. Since then it's been gathering dust on its handsome surface, as these sunlit pics show!

Ideal for those who don't like the usual thick rubber strings, as it is in effect a travel bass guitar. Yet can be eq'd to sound very double bassy if required.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]2 band EQ on top of body (battery powered). Solid maple back and sides.[/font]

Far more solid and substantial than my Countryman, but can't justify having two Uke Basses.

This has one scar on the top (visible in photo, invisible when playing) and a small amount of wear under the strings from plucking by the first owner. Also a spot of rust on the D string that doesn't affect playing, as it's above the nut.

Retails at £240. Asking £[s]125 [/s]110. Based Bournemouth, would consider posting at cost.

Tempting, but I wouldn't play it

GLWYS!

[Mickeyboro]

Cheers Al!

[alyctes]

Just as a matter of interest, where do you get strings for these?

[Mickeyboro]

As I've only had it a few months, I don't know...

Plenty of life in the set that's on, though.

Did I mention there's a Gigbag?

Bump for new price £110.

[Mickeyboro]

Bump. This is pitched one octave below guitar rather than two, so can add a different flavour to your uke bass arsenal with partial chords etc - think Bass VI.
