I haven’t been around here much lately....... protecting my wallet 😂 so first off Hello 

For the last couple of years I’ve had a thing for a small bodied headless bass. Compact, light-ish weight, portable, ideally 5 or even 6 string. 

I’ve always liked headless basses, liked the Hohner Jack  I owned 25+ years ago. Often think of picking up a Steinberger type but as far as I know the 5’s have a narrowish string spacing which I can’t get along with and there isn’t a 6.  

There isn’t much out there really that ticks all those boxes. I did own a Streamline briefly and for whatever reason really didn’t enjoy it, more the tone than anything else if I recall.

So, I visited here earlier in the week and had a mooch around, ended up in the For Sale area as usual(!) and I came across a posted link to something and ended up on the bass direct website. 

There I found this!

I’m intrigued! It doesn’t look particularly comfortable to play- no lower cutaway, so I guess a strap is always required and I don’t love the shape, colour and a few other things 😂 

I’m curious if any of you have been in there lately and seen it or actually played this thing and had an opinion to share?

Have a look at the Facebook page for Ash instruments. I think there's some pictures of that particular bass during construction. Also there's lots of pictures of their other creations, all of which are quite stunning in my opinion, real works of art!
