The Ashdown Roasted Saint Onyx Green Metallic is a 4-string Precision Bass-style bass designed around simple yet effective electronics. Its poplar body is paired with a bolt-on roasted maple neck and a roasted maple fingerboard, providing stability and playing comfort. With an 864 mm (34") scale length, 20 frets, and a C-shaped neck profile, it offers a familiar and versatile feel. Its glossy Onyx Green Metallic finish beautifully highlights the green’s metallic sheen, while the matching headstock and chrome hardware complete its aesthetic, which is both vintage and modern.
The Roasted Saint features a PJ pickup configuration combining a Precision-style pickup at the neck and a Jazz-style pickup at the bridge, both passive and hand-wound. The two volume controls allow for precise blending of the two pickups, while the tone control offers simple adjustment of the tone character. The P-style pickup delivers deep bass and a solid foundation, while the J-style pickup adds attack and definition, allowing you to transition from a round, powerful sound to a more biting tone. The vintage-style tuners and fixed bridge round out this simple, straightforward, and exceptionally versatile bass.
