I'd love a tele style bass, but I am looking for a 5 string. I don't really want to go the Warmoth route as every G&L I've played has been great. I've just never seen a 5 string ASAT. Anyone seen one?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks! lug 06-10-2007, 02:01 PM I've heard rumors of one off prototypes but to my knowledge there has never been aproduction ASAT 5'ver. chunkstyle 06-11-2007, 11:33 AM i've seen a picture of one... man was it sweet! apparently the neck dive was out of control. either way, i'm patiently waiting for the picture to be posted again... bassteban 06-11-2007, 11:46 AM I often enjoy phantom memories, but I vaguely recall seeing an ASAT 5 at BassNorthWest. Again, I'm probably trippin' hard.:) vroc38 06-11-2007, 11:50 AM Saw that photo too, and was bummed to find out that 1) they are pretty much unavailable, and 2) the neck dive issue. I have been a fiver-only guy since the early 90's, but the ASAT brought me back to fours. I then realized how little I actually used the long thumbrest, I mean the B string. Still love my 5'ers, but now I'm lovin' me some G&L 4-bangers too. Chef 09-22-2007, 03:57 PM apparently there is at least *maybe* such a thing. at least one was listed on craigslist recently. gone before i found it... lug 09-22-2007, 08:47 PM A bassist on the Concert For Dianna used one a couple of months ago. My wifw was watching and wondering why I was flipping out. :D coop 09-24-2007, 01:22 PM Not mine , I think it's in Germany now. http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/3558/pit1asat681973chv6.jpg Chef 09-24-2007, 01:31 PM oy!

It haunts me enough as it is. Jimtoonz 09-25-2007, 07:08 PM OK...if the interest is high enough, I will contact G&L and see what would be necessary to do a "build to order" minimum run of ASAT 5s. We would have to reach some consensus on color, features, etc. PM me if you would have interest and include your thoughts about configuration and the maximum $ you would be willing to pay. Please include info that I could use to contact you. Perhaps any of you BABP owners could relate your experience on the L-2000 project. Infernal Affair 09-25-2007, 07:40 PM It would be awesome if you guys ended up doing it a la the BABP L2K. Lucky for me I don't need a 5 string ASAT. :) |
