{"product_id":"ashdown-the-saint-artisan-cardinal-flame-436387","title":"The Saint Artisan Cardinal Flame","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Elegant Bass in the Saint Artisan Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe The Saint Artisan Cardinal Flame is part of a range designed for bassists looking for a reliable, expressive instrument with a particularly striking appearance. Its asymmetrical double-cutaway body promotes a natural playing position, while its flame maple top adds a premium touch to the Cardinal Flame finishing. The deep red color and glossy finishing reveal the maple’s grain, making this a bass that stands out just as much on stage as it does in rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 4-string electric bass combines classic design choices with more contemporary features. The vintage-style fixed bridge, vintage-inspired tuners and P\/J configuration are reminiscent of the major references in electric bass design. Added to these are a roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets and a dual-action truss rod—features valued for their stability, comfort and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Versatile P\/J Bass for the Bassist Who Wants to Play Everything\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe The Saint Artisan Cardinal Flame is equally suited to a serious beginner, an intermediate player or an experienced bassist looking for a versatile electric bass. Its C-shaped neck profile offers a familiar, accessible feel, making it suitable for long rehearsals as well as daily practice. The 20 frets and double cutaway also make it easier to reach the higher notes without compromising the playing feel in the lower register of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its P-Bass and J-Bass pickup configuration, it adapts to a wide range of styles: rock, pop, funk, soul, blues, jazz, reggae and independent music. The P-Bass-style pickup delivers full, solid bass lines that are ideal for supporting a band. The J-Bass-style pickup provides greater precision and definition, particularly for nuanced fingerstyle playing, pick attacks or more percussive grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Low End, Present Mids and Precise Attack\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poplar body provides a balanced foundation, with an even response that allows the P\/J electronics to fully express their character. The flame maple top primarily contributes to the instrument’s visual identity, while the roasted maple neck and key contribute to a clear attack and a direct resonant feel. The roasting process also improves the wood’s stability in response to normal temperature and humidity fluctuations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two passive pickups, hand-wired and equipped with Alnico V magnets, offer a dynamic, musical character. The P-Bass pickup delivers warm, round and punchy lows, with enough midrange presence to maintain good clarity in a mix. The J-Bass pickup complements this foundation with a more incisive register, particularly useful for achieving precise highs or enhancing the definition of each note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two independent volume controls allow you to balance each pickup and create the right blend for the song. Used on its own, the P-Bass pickup emphasizes depth and fullness, while the J-Bass pickup places more focus on articulation. Combining both produces a balanced, broad and versatile sound. The master tone control, paired with CTS-style potentiometers, can then be used to soften the highs or maintain a more open response depending on the desired playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vintage-style fixed bridge is equipped with copper saddles, a choice that promotes efficient transmission of the strings’ vibrations to the body. Combined with the roasted maple bolt-on neck, it contributes to a direct response, consistent sustain and an attack precise enough for both rhythmic lines and melodic passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo preserve the original feel, this bass can be fitted with 4-string electric bass strings in a 45–105 gauge, matching the factory setup. The included gig bag already makes it easy to transport the instrument every day. For playing while standing, an electric bass strap can be added to the strap buttons fitted to the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
