G&L ASAT 5 pics?

[melkinsbass]

Does anyone have any pics of the ASAT 5 string bass? I've heard about them, but never seen one. I didn't come up with any on Google search.

anyone?

I've never heard of a ASAT-5 being in production. Sounds like a good idea though.

I have only heard of a few being made. Possibly for employees only? One was for sale here about a year ago but the pics are no longer in the thread.

the ASAT remains one of my favorite looking basses. Even more so if they were a 5 though I'd be concerned about possible neck dive.

Not mine. I think it's owned by somebody in Germany.

That's AMAZING, but I have this sudden shooting pain in my lower back and shoulder when I look at that pic...

Not exactly the same thing, but the Exlusive Super-B that I did the demo for is a tele-esque five string. It balanced well for me

That's amazing, never seen an ASAT 5 until just now. I don't see it being much heavier than my L2500, though, maybe 6oz for that extra wood where the upper horn isn't?

I heard they took it out of production because it had terrible neck dive, though I heard someone made a neckplate that extended the strap button to compensate. I saw a fiver on Ebay, a while back, with a similar shape, but I can't recall the maker/luthier. Thanks for the pic.
