Ashton ACB 100CEQ Reviews  4 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI ordered this bass guitar over the internet from mymusicmegastore.com in Australia (great service!). It cost me AU$399.
I surfed the net to weigh up a few options, taking into consideration the fact that I was new to the whole bass guitar game. I settled on the Ashton because of its good looks, decent reviews of Ashton products in general, and it's value for money.
It looks great! However if you are (like I did) considering getting the black colour, think carefully again. Whilst being aesthetically pleasing, it's also high maintenence.
It sounds good! For what you pay for (AU$399). The pickup is pretty decent. BUT...
The strings!!! Within the first few notes that I played, it was evident that something was wrong (on top of my sub-par skills). The strings sounded awful and felt bad.
Within 3 days of intense playing, the E string was totalled, I mean absolutely dead. I had it replaced with a set of D'Addario strings (45-105).
Now it works like a charm and sounds great, with good looks to boot!
