1987 Guild Ashbory Product Slick
Contributed by Jamie Danter on September 15, 2002
Here is a promotional slick for the Guild Ashbory Bass. Another one was also available.
Editor's Notes:
- I haven't used a pick with Ashbory strings as mentioned below, but it seems like an easy way to ruin strings to me.
- The tuners are awful to use. Schaller makes nice tuners, but these modified Ukelele tuners aren't very good for task. The DeArmond Ashbory Basses have geared tuners, a big improvement.

Side one text: For players who are tired of playing countless clones of the same old instrument, Guild offers the epitome of originality: the Ashbory Bass ... the most innovative bass guitar ever created. From its 18" fretless scale, to the silicone rubber strings, to the patented Ashworth transducer, the Ashbory is a completely unique instrument. The flexible strings make playing easier and produce a low-end response that rivals an upright. The preamp powered transducer circuitry gives an exceptionally low signal-to-noise ratio. And the Ashbory's small size and two-pound weight make it truly portable, you can even wear it comfortably over another instrument. You can make reaches impossible with a full-sized bass and still play faster and cleaner than you ever have before. From the growl of an upright to the punch of a rock bass; you'll get it all with the Ashbory. But don't take our word for it -- try one for yourself. Compare the sound with any bass on the market. Discover how much big sound can be put in one compact package. The Ashbory. Only from Guild. Guild |
