I am really pleased with the bass which I purchased as a result of the article in Bass Player magazine.
As I am not a fan of the rubber strings as fitted to the bass, I looked on line to try and find a metal round wound string set that would fit the 24 inch scale of the Ashbury bass. As a result I purchased a set of Goldtone strings which are made to fit Goldtone's own mini basses of both 23/25 inch scale. These fitted perfectly and play really well.
I hope this may be of help if you have any questions from potential buyers who like me would want to do a string change.
I did contact you asking about a possible set of strings like the Goldtones but you replied that you did not have any.
I bought the WAV4 as a new string to my bass guitar playing. I also bought it after recently buying the WAV4 violin (the instrument I learnt for 11 years as a kid) and being suitably impressed by its design, playability and sound. After getting to grips with the larger string length and spacing, I find the WAV4 solidly built. Im only plucking and so have had the pickup in pizz. mode only, which gives a rich, full tone with a significant sustain. It has a low action that suits me, but I think may need to be modified if you wish to play slap (which can be easily done by raising the bridge). The position markers are particularly useful for a beginner to the instrument. As for the Bass Centre, well they delivered as they said with no fuss.
Betsy arrived from London, and was put to work at first chance. This seems to be a very very nice bass. It's a lot easier to play than my Squier Precision '70s retro that I got last year, that I thought was super... It sounds great and very loud, has very good balance, and is set up better from the start than the Squier. No adjustments needed on this one! Frets are precise. Really amasing sustain and nice tones. Holds the tuning very well. A lot of bass for the money! Happy bringing this one home to Norway!
The build is excellent and the cherry on the cake is the set up by Chris Ward. Cannot believe the price as it is superior to many instruments three times the price, especially as it is fitted with the EMG pickups.
Great service from the Bass Centre. Would highly recommend.
I've been in the market for a wider, more comfortable bass strap for a little while. The problem is, they're predominantly made from leather! This strap is exactly what I've been looking for: comfortable, good value for money, and importantly - cruelty-free. Thanks, Bass Centre!
Great service and the instrument plays even better

Some time ago - some decades, actually - I had one of the original styles of Ashbory Bass and even had Ashley Jones re-build it with upgraded electronics. I was made an offer I could not refuse for the instrument, so have had to do without since. But then I saw a review of the new version and decided that I just had to have one for the sake of completeness, if nothing else. Good decision, the dinky little fellow is better than it ever was, The Bass Centre gave great service and the instrument plays even better.
