DER LOW RIDER WURDE ZUSAMMEN MIT DAN LAKIN ENTWICKELT

Basierend auf einem Freund von uns, dessen Leidenschaft für das perfekte Instrument zu einer Reihe von Inkarnationen von etwas Ähnlichem wie dem, was Sie hier sehen, führte. Wir würden gerne glauben, dass ihm unsere Interpretation seines Klassikers gefallen hätte.

Mit Hipshot-Tunern und Wilkinson-Brücken wurden diese Bässe aus den bestmöglichen Materialien für den professionellen Einsatz unterwegs, zu Hause oder im Studio hergestellt. Die Bassserie von Ashdown ist so gebaut, dass sie den Test der Zeit besteht.

Dan Lakin and Mark Gooday
Dan Lakin Luthier/bass aficionado and Mark Gooday, friends for many years have pooled skills, resources and passion for Bass with a line of co-designed Dan Lakin and Ashdown Engineered manufactured Bass guitars, to start it was just going to be one bass but as you can imagine things got a little carried away and we opted to go all out with an impressive range of instruments.

Dan’s passion sees him making basses in Chicago to order and totally USA built. Basses built to order are one thing but getting a brand out there as he had in the past was not of interest to him.

So with Dan in tow Ashdown is taking up that mantra for him as having made basses before and always wishing to do so again, a Chance meeting in Chicago Music Exchange on a road trip for Mark saw the seeds of interest sown.

Originally our necks were going to be finished with polymerized low-sheen tung oil. This product became increasingly difficult to source. Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil brand gun stock oil turned out to be the best substitute product to obtain the classic feel of our bass neck.
