The design of the Ashdown Roasted Capri Seafoam Green draws its energy from the automotive aesthetic of the 70s. This bass has a bold green hue that immediately catches the eye under the spotlights of jazz clubs or rock stages. Its poplar body is combined with a matching headstock for a cohesive look that exudes high-end craftsmanship.

The secret of its resonance lies in its torrefied maple neck and fingerboard. This heat treatment stabilises the wood and gives it an acoustic warmth not usually found on much more expensive instruments. With its 19 frets, this 4-string features a short 30-inch pitch, which reduces string tension and facilitates melodic flights.

As for the electronics, Ashdown is going for purity with a unique hand-wound Soap Bar pickup. This Alnico humbucker, protected by a chrome cover, translates every nuance of your playing with organic clarity. The internal components, in particular the CTS potentiometers, guarantee volume and tone control without the slightest hint of interference.

Whether you're in the middle of a rehearsal session in your living room, or recording in the studio, this model makes a statement through its simplicity. The vintage-style action ensures exemplary tuning, even after hours of slapping or picking. It's the perfect workhorse for those who value character and ergonomics!
