Jim Chef 04-23-2006, 09:12 PM There was one on either ebay or dudepit recently. I remember being surprised... MAJOR METAL 04-24-2006, 11:56 AM I think their was a few made as prototypes. bradjonesbass 04-24-2006, 12:08 PM I saw a used semi-hollow 5-string ASAT on somebody's site a while ago - maybe BassNW.com???? I'm sure that was a custom though. Made me think about saving my pennies and ordering one - fretless. flash99 04-24-2006, 11:46 PM There are a few around that are prototypes but it was never offered as a production model - apparently it was REALLY neck heavy as a 5 string. And while an L2500 may not look as cool, it will sound exactly the same. AThomas Bass 05-30-2006, 05:26 PM I just tried to order a custom 5-string ASAT Bass. The dealer called his G&L rep and was told they aren't making them anymore because they are ridiculously neck-heavy. F.Y.I. Chris Rhoades 06-10-2006, 12:43 PM Maybe i will have to make my own!

I know Michael could build that for you at a great price, www.dolanguitars.com dgce 06-11-2006, 07:53 PM You know, Schecter could make you a domestic version of their Tele shaped Baron bass in a 5 string. I've seen them in magazines. Probably will be super neck heavy and not exactly cheap. But its an available ASAT substitue and very good quality stuff. r |
