Aslin Dane

[NikNik]

I remember this name from a round twenty years back. Nice looking Alembic-style bass. Anyone try one?

Wow - whoever fitted that brass nut deserves ... well I'm sure he deserves something.

It's clearly never coming off again - shame it looks like it's about 1mm out...

 

Details aside that's a lot of (apparently) hand-crafted short-scale bass for £300. One of those fairly frequent things making me secretly glad there's no shipping & I'd have an 800-odd mile round trip to collect it.

Not the same model, but my first bass 21 years ago was an Aslin Dane jazz bass copy. It was a nice instrument and well put together. Very heavy though and helped me decide that Jazzes aren't my thing. 

 

I'm sure that if the nut is alright, this ought to be a good player.

Nowt wrong with a good old bit of Araldite!
