LE GRAIL CO-CONÇU AVEC DAN LAKIN

Nous avions une basse Candy Apple Red de 1962 qui a malheureusement été volée au Bass Center de Wapping, le manche a cependant toujours été un favori et au fil des années, nous l'avons utilisé sous diverses formes, des T-Basses aux Lodestones. Celui-ci a une esthétique beaucoup plus classique et un peu moins en termes de design. Nous l'adorons et pensons que vous l'aimerez, avec son manche huilé et son matériel haut de gamme, cet instrument est parfait. Une configuration finale et un contrôle qualité ont lieu au Royaume-Uni avant de prendre la route. Nos basses ne font qu'offrir un aperçu supplémentaire de notre passion pour la basse.

Utilisant des Hipshot Tuners, Wilkinson Bridges, ces basses ont été fabriquées en utilisant les meilleurs matériaux possibles pour une utilisation professionnelle sur la route, à la maison ou en studio. La gamme de basses Ashdown a été conçue pour résister à l'épreuve du temps.

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.

Months later those seeds come to reality...

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.
