Ashdown - Saint Soap Onyx Green

With its classic silhouette and deep green colour, the Saint Soap Onyx Green electric bass will not go unnoticed. Ashdown, a British brand renowned for its amplifiers and basses with a strong character, has created an instrument that focuses on the essentials: an organic sound, intuitive playability and a striking aesthetic. The lightweight, resonant poplar body has a solid base for natural sustain, while the roasted maple neck adds a touch of warmth and stability.

Fitted with an Alnico magnet Soap Bar pickup, this 4-string bass is simple and effective. No preamp, no superfluous filters: just a pure signal, shaped by your fingers and your playing. The CTS potentiometers - renowned for their precision - let you adjust volume and tone with immediate responsiveness. Whether you play slap, fingerstyle or with a pick, this model responds with a generous grain, ideal for rock, blues or even funk.

The torrefied maple fingerboard, with its 350 mm radius and 20 frets, provides optimum comfort for both melodic lines and tight grooves. The vintage chrome tuners and black pickguard add a retro touch, while the glossy lacquer finish protects the instrument without muffling its vibrations. With a 5-year warranty, Ashdown proves its confidence in the sturdiness of this bass.

Who's it for? For bassists who want an instrument that's reliable, expressive and visually striking, without getting bogged down in complex settings.
