Large Sound

Hard to believe it's been over five years since Alun Ashworth-Jones passed away. He invented the Ashbory Bass concept, and is listed as the inventor on the Ashbory patent. He was a friendly guy that was always pleased to hear about the interest in his invention and was happy to share related news and historical artifacts. He even rebuilt my Guild pickup for me in the mid-1990s when it was an old, discontinued product that he didn't have to support. How cool is that?!

The Ashbory Bass and derivatives such as the Bass Ukulele were all built from the work of Alun Jones. His impact continues on today.
