New Ashdown shorties (or not!) coming in April.

I think the shell pink is metallic now I've zoomed in. 

Result 😁👍

Hopefully they’ll sell it for £299 and I’ll buy it🤞🏻(or maybe @Ashdown Engineeringwill give me first dibs because they are so nice!)

Ashdown replied on their Facebook page. The green single PU one is another prototype they're working on. I saw it pictured with a single PU pink one as well. 

Maybe worth contacting them.

Body shape kind of looks like a reverend

There's a box at home apparently. 😁

The bass pictured in the facebook post, and here, is the bass I received, there's a couple of tell tale bits, but it is most definitely 34" scale. 

I'm actually happy as I'd rather it be full scale but I don't know why Mark Gooday was saying it was a shorty. 

I'll report back when I had a proper play. It's a fantastic colour though.

And how much does it look like a Reverend bass in real life?

Doesn't matter. Bodyshape is almost impossible to protect, unlike a headstock.

The price of those on Reverb are a bit of a bargain when you look at the list prices. I wonder which factory in S. Korea makes them, my experience on basses made in that country ( Spector and Peerless) is that they are of excellent quality.

Obviously very similar, but different enough. 

The top horn is all but identical but the lower horn is a lot more round, also both upper and lower bouts are wider than a Reverend. 

I'll do a new bass day at the weekend when I've settled with it. 

The colour is great, shell pink but metallic. The flake gives it a very silvery edge when it catches the light but up close the flake is actually quite holographic, but not enough to have a cheap fairground look. It's a very classy shell pink, if that's your thing.
