Ashdown Grail-30 Short Scale 4-String Bass - Candy Apple Red

THE GRAIL CO-DESIGNED WITH DAN LAKIN

We had a 1962 Candy Apple Red bass that was sadly stolen from the Bass Center in Wapping, the neck however has always been a favourite and over the years we have used it in various forms from T-Basses to Lodestones. This one has a much more classic aesthetic and little less out there in terms of design. We love it and think you will to, with its oiled neck and premium hardware this instrument is perfect. A final set up and quality control takes place in the UK before hitting the road. Our basses only further offer an insight into our passion for bass.

Using Hipshot Tuners, Wilkinson Bridges these basses have been made using the best possible materials for professional use on the road, at home or in the studio the Ashdown range of basses have been built to stand the test of time
