Ashton Review: AB2 Bass Guitar

History:

Purchase: I aquired this instrument at Musos corner, newcastle, australia for $270 australian. i wanted this bass as a good starter bass with some features.

What I Like About This Ashton AB2 Bass Guitar: The good bits about this bass is that its a punchy tone with a ashton custom precision pickup, two control knobs - volume and tone. The neck is thin and the nut distance is short, perfect for my hands. Its also nice and light - perfect for jamming or gigging and the action is perfect, low and fast. The maple neck is smooth and the rosewood fretboard is nice.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ashton AB2 Bass Guitar: Not much about this bass is bad. The only problem was probably the horrible factory strings, which i changed straight away. But when you do that, its a marvel to play.

Ashton AB2 Bass Guitar Quality Rating: This bass is very tough and very well constructed. It was also designed in Australia.

Review Summary: A very good starter bass or a spare bass for a great price. Go get one if you can!

Rating of this Ashton product: 5
