FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

Though Leo-era ASAT Basses are usually fitted with a jack plate, the earliest examples from 1990 did not have this plate.  Other than that, these super early ASAT Basses are the same as the ones made during the 1990-91 time period.  The bass shown here is extraordinarily lightweight at 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg).
