Ashdown The Saint Roasted LH - gloss black

Left-handed model.
Original, versatile, and competitive, the ASHDOWN The Saint Roasted Left-Handed (Gloss Black) solid-body electric bass combines a unique aesthetic, traditional features, and more modern specifications.
It’s ideal for beginners or experienced hobbyists looking for an affordable instrument that can adapt to a wide range of musical styles.

The instrument features a 40 mm-thick poplar body, a bolt-on roasted maple neck, and a roasted maple fingerboard (set with 20 frets). This design produces clear and dynamic acoustic tones that are rich and responsive, with precise, punchy bass, balanced mids, and crystalline highs.
Poplar is considered an alternative to alder. It is widely available and cost-effective, making it the preferred choice for entry-level and mid-range instruments.
In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the kiln-drying process improves the instrument’s stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance, while protecting it from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold.

The pickup set with AlNiCo V magnets consists of a J-Bass-style pickup at the bridge and a P-Bass-style pickup at the neck. They deliver dynamic, warm, and well-defined tones.
Thanks to the individual volume and master tone controls, you’ll be able to adapt to a wide range of musical styles and settings.

The Saint Roasted’s ergonomics are excellent. Its C-shaped neck profile, 350 mm radius, and optimal access to the high notes ensure a quick and comfortable feel.
