{"product_id":"ashdown-the-saint-artisan-amethyst-flame-436386","title":"The Saint Artisan Amethyst Flame","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Elegant Finishing in the Saint Artisan Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Artisan Amethyst Flame is part of a series designed for bassists looking for a well-crafted, expressive instrument that is immediately enjoyable to play. It features a modern construction while retaining elements inspired by traditional electric basses, including its passive P\/J electronics and vintage-style bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts asymmetrical poplar body prioritizes excellent ergonomics, while the flamed maple top adds a particularly refined visual touch. The glossy Amethyst Flame finishing reveals the maple grain beneath a deep, luminous purple, making this bass as striking on stage as it is in rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bass combines an elegant presentation with features commonly sought in an instrument designed to support the musician over the long term: roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, precise tuners and easy-to-master passive electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Accessible Bass for Exploring Every Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Artisan Amethyst Flame is aimed at discerning beginners, intermediate musicians and experienced players looking for a reliable 4-string bass. Its C-shaped neck profile provides a natural feel, equally suited to learning the fundamentals and playing more technical lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 34-inch \/ 864 mm long scale length provides familiar string tension and a solid low-end response. With its 13.78-inch \/ 350 mm radius, the key offers a comfortable surface for moving from accompaniment playing to faster passages, whether fingerstyle or with a pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its P-Bass and J-Bass configuration, it naturally fits into rock, pop, funk, blues, soul, jazz fusion and contemporary music. The P-style pickup provides generous foundation to support the band, while the J-style pickup helps bring out attack, nuances and more articulate lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Richness of Passive P\/J Electronics and a Roasted Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bass's sonic character is based on the combination of a poplar body, a flamed maple top and a bolt-on roasted maple neck. Poplar promotes a balanced, even response, while maple helps preserve clarity in the attack. This foundation allows the passive electronics to retain a direct, dynamic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two pickups, equipped with Alnico V magnets, are hand-wired and paired with CTS-style potentiometers. The P\/J configuration considerably broadens the tonal palette: the P-Bass pickup delivers round, firm and punchy lows, ideal for establishing a dense bass line\u0026#59; the J-Bass pickup adds extra definition in the mids and highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two independent volume controls allow each pickup to be blended with precision, taking you from a massive, traditional sound to a more lively and detailed response. The master tone control can then soften the highs for a smoother sound, or conversely retain a clear attack that cuts through a dense mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roasted maple neck and key also contribute to the instrument's overall resonance. This treatment improves stability in the face of temperature and humidity changes, while providing a dry, fast and precise playing feel. The 20 stainless steel frets offer excellent resistance to wear and a crisp attack across the entire scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the fixed vintage-style bridge with copper saddles promotes efficient vibration transfer. It contributes to note stability and sustain, while the vintage tuners with an 18:1 ratio enable fine, reliable tuning adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bass comes with a gig bag, which is practical for daily travel and storage. To preserve its original balance, it can be fitted with a set of 4-string long-scale electric bass strings with a 34-inch \/ 864 mm scale length, in a gauge close to 45-105. A bass tuner and a jack instrument cable are also suitable additions for enjoying its passive electronics right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
