AVANT

The Ashdown Saint Avant series is a modern range of multi-scale basses designed for precision, clarity and versatile performance, available in both 4 and 5-string configurations. Built around a fan fret design, each instrument optimises string tension and balance across the fretboard, delivering tight, controlled low-end response while maintaining smooth playability and articulation in the higher register. A roasted maple neck and fretboard provide enhanced stability, durability and a fast, responsive playing feel, complemented by distinctive hex dot markers for clear navigation. At the heart of the Avant series is a powerful 3-way pickup system, offering a wide tonal range of deep, defined lows to punchy mids and crisp, articulate highs. Whether laying down solid grooves, cutting through a mix or exploring more progressive playing styles, the Avant series delivers consistent clarity and control. Available in a choice of striking finishes, the Saint Avant basses combine modern aesthetics with high-performance capability, making them equally suited to stage, studio, and rehearsal environments. Available to pre-order in the UK for delivery/collection towards the end of October 2026
