Artist AJB5 15th Anniversary Paisley Relic 5 String Bass Guitar

The above image is a mock-up that will be replaced with actual images as soon as possible.

We're turning 15! We've certainly come a long way from our humble beginnings producing a small range of electric guitars all those years ago! To celebrate, we're bringing you a range of pro-spec instruments at prices that defy belief - just as we've been doing for the last 15 years...

This one's for the bassists! The Artist AJB5 is the ultimate 5-string low-end beast, combining peak aesthetic design, playability, and quality specifications to produce one of the best bass guitars we've ever made. With a mahogany body hand-pasted with pink paisley wallpaper, the AJB5 has been painstakingly finished with nitrocellulose lacquer before being relic'd to give it that "battle-worn" relic look. Though it may look pre-loved, the AJB5 is not the shabby instrument the relic'd finish suggests. The roasted maple neck features a slab of genuine rosewood adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, while high-grade Derulo tuners and a bone nut frame the gorgeous matching headstock.

With a pair of hand-wound pickups courtesy of the Laohao workshop, the AJB5 delivers clarity right across the frequency spectrum - tight low-end and plenty of sizzle for awesome slap tones that cut through the mix. Bright yet versatile, the AJB5 is perfect for funk-rockers and jazz players alike - given the pickup mix and EQ options available via the tone and volume knobs, there's a sweet spot here for every player!

Like the rest of our range, the 15th Anniversary AJB5 has been painstakingly designed to perfectly balance professional quality with our famous affordability - the same ethos that has carried us since our first guitar rolled off the line all those years ago.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or you've come in late, we can't thank you enough for supporting us in delivering quality instruments at an affordable price. Here's to another 15 years, and many more!
