Presentation
The Ashdown The Saint Artisan Obsidian Flame boasts a sleek black aesthetic with its Obsidian Flame colour scheme and high-gloss finish. This 4-string electric bass from the Saint Artisan series features a 40 mm solid poplar body, a double cutaway and optimised access to the higher frets, ensuring a natural feel.
The bolt-on neck, crafted from roasted maple, features a C-shaped profile with a matching fingerboard. The 34" (864 mm) scale length, a radius of 13.78" (350 mm), 20 stainless steel frets and a 38 mm nut define the playing experience, with a double-action truss rod to adjust the neck curvature.
The PJ configuration offers two complementary tones. The Alnico V P-Bass neck pickup and the Alnico V J-Bass bridge pickup are hand-wired; the passive circuit features 2 volume controls, 1 tone control and a blend control dedicated to the J-Bass pickup, with CTS potentiometers for each setting.
The fixed vintage-style bridge features copper saddles for stable string contact. The vintage-style tuning machines with an 18:1 ratio allow for precise tuning, whilst the chrome hardware provides a crisp finish to the overall design.
The D’Addario XL165 strings in 45-105 gauge provide a firm tension under the fingers. A gig bag is included with the instrument for transport between rehearsals, the studio and the stage, throughout the concert season.

Founded in 1997 by Mark Gooday, Ashdown Engineering draws on experience gained at Trace Elliot, where its founder had served as managing director for twelve years.
From the very beginning, the British brand placed the bass at the heart of its business with the ABM range, which has become one of its iconic products. Its famous VU-meter quickly became a recognisable visual signature on stage.
Over the years, Ashdown has developed an international presence and earned the trust of bassists such as John Entwistle, Mark King, Geezer Butler and JJ Burnel. This history, deeply rooted in the bass, forms one of the cornerstones of its identity.
