Hi, after log time debating I am finally putting for trade my Atelier Z M265 five string bass.
This is an excellent example of how to make perfect 70's sounding jazz bass in five string version.
Playability is great, action can be set very low without buzzing.
For the record, last fall I was deciding if to move Atelier or Sadowsky MS5 and Sadowsky went out of the door and Atelier stayed..
At the moment I have several basses for the JB sound (F-Bass 5, Fender JB 1976, Moon JJ-4) and the GAS is telling me that I need some other flavour, so this time the Atelier is on the block.
Atelier Z specs:
34" scale
17 mm string spacing
11.8 lbs weight
Atelier Z single coil pickups
Aguilar OBP3 preamp - controls: volume, volume, mids, stacked treble/bass
(original Bartolini 2-band preamp included)
Schaller straplocks
Nice, very thick padded Atelier Z gigbag
Everything works, no issues.

The bass I'd preferably consider for trade would be
Ken Smith BSR5J or
Roscoe LG/SKB 5 string.
Thanks!
