Ashdown - Roasted Saint Soap Seafoam Green

If you're looking for an instrument that exudes authority from the first note, the Ashdown Roasted Saint Soap Seafoam Green is it. Its electronic configuration is based around a single Soap Bar pickup, nestling under an elegant chrome cover. This technical choice favours organic clarity and a passive signal of rare purity, ideal for sculpting your acoustic identity without artifice.

The luthiery goes a step further with the systematic use of torrefied maple for the neck and fingerboard. This 'baking' treatment stabilises the wood fibres, protecting your set-up from the onslaught of humidity on tour. Beyond the technical aspect, this finish adds a tactile softness that transforms every slide on the 20 frets into a moment of pure pleasure.

The ergonomic design is based on a balanced poplar body and a narrow 38 mm nut. This reduced width at the nut promotes immediate dexterity, perfect for complex bass lines or extended work sessions on the sofa. The body-matched headstock adds to the sense of exclusivity, while the internal components, such as the CTS potentiometers, exude seriousness.

Beneath its retro sports car look, this 4-string bass hides a great deal of versatility for jazz, blues or garage rock. Its standard 864 mm tuning fork ensures optimum string tension for consistently crisp definition of low notes. It's a robust creative tool that takes a back seat to your playing, leaving only the essentials: grain and emotion.
