The brighter side 7 Jun 2011
By Isaac Pascal - Published on Amazon.com
The strings stretch and detune a bit but it gets better with time. It takes longer for silicon strings to settle in than regular bass strings. The strings are a bit fragile. I'm told it helps to remove the string tension between sessions, particularly on the D and G.

On the other hand: it weighs so little, it's so small and it has so little tension in the strings that it causes musch less trouble with my carpal tunnel wrist and extends my rehearsal time. And it sounds nice. My tenor sax trio prefers the upright, but ranks the Ashbory tone above either my fretless or fretted Fender jazz.

When I first received my Ashbory I was ready to send it back. Now I like it.

Great Look; Disappointing Performance 3 Sep 2010
By Marvin Kent Gibbs - Published on Amazon.com

I have been wanting this little bass for a long time, and finally decided to purchase it, even though I had never had an opportunity to test one. Worse decision ever. For me, the bass is virtually unplayable. It's not so much that the strings are too close together for my playing style, but it's the fact that the strings do not stay in tune. Because this is a fretless bass, adjustments can be made relatively quickly, but when you play "positions" like I do, and the position does not remain in tune over very short time spans, the frustration level rises exponentially. Not recommended for any serious bassists.
