The Ashbory electric bass, originally designed by Guild but now made
by Fender's DeArmond division, is certainly the easiest bass to learn on
that we've encountered, and it's so unique and funky that many pros have
fallen in love with this sawed-off short-stack of a bass and used it on
recordings and onstage. The extremely short 18" fretless scale and super
light weight of the Ashbory make it easy to recreate the round tone of
an upright acoustic bass, and the unique silicone rubber strings make it
by far the easiest-on-the-fingers bass on the market today. $299. www.ashbory.com
