So despite there being several threads devoted to Atkinson basses, there has yet to be a club for Atkinson owners. Lord knows that here on TB, club affiliation is priority number one, so here it is, the official Atkinson Owners Club.
You guys know the rules. Post a picture (or two, or twenty) of your Atkinson bass and I will provide you with the all-important number, which will define you for the rest of your days. I usually check TB once a day, so I should have no trouble keeping track of updates. PM me if I forget to give you a number.
Without further ado, here is my Atkinson P Bass, making me member numero uno:

The neck on Baby Blue is a '62 Jazz neck, but a bit thinner from front to back, with clay dots and ebony board, finished in nitro. |

She's heavy, but I like her.  
I did change the pickguard, but that's it. Didnt need anything else.  |

Midtown Guitars | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: 810, Michigan | | Man, I thought id be right on that one.
As always, its not what I think that matters. 
Talkbass has spoken. Black pickguard it is.
Ironically enough the day I got her in the mail a friends band called me up to say their bassist quit, and they want me as their new bass player.
So id like to thank dan for making such a well made instrument to play, because I get to put it to practical use right away.
Played today for a few hour jam/practice and the I actually like the extra weight, about 11 pounds.
Anyhoo, watch for a NBD thread from me and ill dish the details. I'm thinking about doing an actual review as well. |
