Hi all, my Ashbory finally arrived last week via PMT Birmingham (great shop, recommend it if in the Midlands) and Arbiter, wrong colour, red instead of blue originally ordered and guess what.............. the A string is broken, yes the bloody A string, i wouldn't have minded so much if it was the G or D that i read so much about. Anyway, enough negativity, it sounds ace, even with 3 strings and my new A string is already in the post, should be with me tomorrow.
What a completely under estimated instrument, it certainly sounds a hell of a lot bigger than it is.
Thanks guys, if it hadn't have been for the forum and especially Largesound, i probably wouldn't have bought one.
(ps, Brock, i have learned my lesson, i should have bought one from you)

It's a shame as there are likely to be several folks around with incomplete sets of strngs, and an "A" would be an extra most of the time. I've had  both a "G" & a "D" break, so have 1 full set and 1 "E" & "A"set as spares.

That's cool. man.

I really can't emphasize enough that the Resources here are free and for everyone, and there's no need to feel obligated. As I note in the Commerce FAQ, there's no special priviledges for buying from LargeSound.com Commerce and no penalty for not doing so. This site was a free resource first (as the "Ashbory Internet Resource" at http://www.steamroller.com/ashbory/ ) and is still a free resource first.

Glad you're enjoying the bass. As to the A string gone, that's unusual. It's almost always the G or D. I'm almost positive I've never had an E or A break.
