Anyone here played one of those Ashbory basses?
 
Dinky little things with (wait for it!) an 18-inch scale. Sounds weird to me - double bass sounds, but shorter resonance times, much more like an electric bass. Balance is also something with these tiny guitars - some people have to play them balancing over their right shoulders.

I fiddled with one in a music store a few years ago.  Neato tone but I couldn't play the d*** thing in tune to save my life.  Might be fun to have laying around the house or office though..
