Ashdown The Capri Bass Guitar - Onyx Green

Short-scale punch with classic car attitude

The Ashdown Capri Bass is a love letter to the golden age of motoring, inspired by the unmistakable style and swagger of the Ford Capri. In Onyx Green Metallic, it leans fully into that heritage — deep, rich and effortlessly cool with a finish that looks stunning under stage lights.

Built around a 30" short scale, The Capri delivers a wonderfully comfortable and responsive playing experience. The slightly reduced scale length gives you a supple string feel and tight, punchy low-end response, making it incredibly inviting without sacrificing authority. It’s compact, balanced and brilliantly expressive — ideal for groove-focused players and anyone who appreciates vintage character.

The roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard provide warmth, resonance and improved stability. Roasting enhances tonal maturity and consistency, giving the instrument a lively, seasoned voice from day one. With 19 frets and classic 6mm black dot inlays, the layout is clean and traditional, keeping the focus firmly on feel and tone.

Under the hood, The Capri is fitted with hand-wound Alnico soapbar pickups with chrome covers, delivering thick, rounded lows, punchy mids and smooth highs. These passive pickups are paired with CTS-style pots, giving you precise and responsive control over your sound. The result is a tonal palette steeped in vintage richness — articulate, warm and perfectly suited to rock, indie, soul and classic pop.

Details matter here. A matching headstock, vintage chrome machine heads and carefully chosen pickguard options complete the aesthetic. In Onyx Green Metallic, the look is bold yet refined — unmistakably retro, but fresh enough to stand apart from the crowd.

Available in Sparkle Pink, Sparkle Ice Blue and Onyx Green Metallic, The Capri is more than just a bass — it’s a statement piece. In this finish, it feels particularly special

It’s exactly the kind of distinctive, personality-driven instrument that gets players talking when it’s hanging in Musicmaker — vintage inspiration, modern craftsmanship and serious groove potential.
