binky_bass Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Woe betide something that has more than 4 strings and isn't shaped like a Fender... 🙄 These are actually very good basses I'll have you know! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No. 8 Wire Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I love that. I really like that Ibanez do these crazy models. They might be the only major manufacturer that does (or did) instruments like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt it. I actually think it's an interesting concept, just slightly bonkers. In the interests of balance, I have several basses, but only one is a four-string, and none of them are Fenders! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully made, though. I've owned a couple of Alan's basses in the past, he's a genius with exotic woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 That he is. I have 4 of his creations. All utterly brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Ooooo... I looked into the Ashula, hadn't heard one in a good while. Turns out it's not a single model! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have one. Play it in DADDADG. Where they went wrong is the raised fretless 'board. Other than that, I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
