Ashdown - Roasted Capri Shortscale Gloss Black

The Ashdown Roasted Capri Shortscale Gloss Black electric bass is pure muscle. With its short 762 mm scale, it responds to the slightest touch. Fast runs are intuitive. Your fingers glide along and the bass responds to every note. No brakes, just efficiency.

The roasted maple neck? A real war machine. Roasting boosts stability and reverberation. It's not just a question of looks, it's solid. The feel is clean and precise, without variation, even after hours of playing.

The poplar body vibrates with warmth, but remains light. The sound is clear, less massive than alder or mahogany, but just as punchy. The bass is dynamic in all registers.

The vintage mechanics add charm, but above all, they don't move. Once tuned, it remains stable, gig after gig. There's no going back, the tuning holds.

The Alnico Humbucker pickup? Warm, direct and brutal. It packs a punch, without getting lost in the details. The sound is immediately powerful.

And the tone? More rounded, more percussive, the choice is yours. You play with it, adjust it, and every note comes alive.

The 19 frets mean you can do it all. The short format is an asset for everything from funk to rock. It's there, ready to roar.
