SOLD !!!!!!The Bunker Neck ATK Killer!!!I have here a very very rare USA Dave Bunker Trekker Louis Johnson Sig. Bass with Bunker tension free neck Its loaded with EMG P and J pickups with Seymour Duncan STC-2p 2 band active pre with pull slap switch..Pickups are original but I added the Bart pre(I have the original passive pre if you want it)It was made for slapping (Louis Johnson,DUH!!!)because the g string side of the body is shaved down an 1/2" lower than the E side the be able to get your fingers easily under the g side for string pulling.Its in great shape for its age and the tension free neck is slim and fast with tons of sustain.The neck alone is worth the price.These were the necks on the 1995 bass of the year USA Ibanez ATK.Super low action and plays with ease.These were about $1200 back in the 80's to early 90's .Comes with hsc for $450 OBO or trade offer.Ad $15 for west coast.

great price for a great underrated US bass. I was watching a YouTube video where Flea was talking about his bass collection and he still owns one of these.

How does it sound finger style ? I'm a p-bass guy, but our cover band added a third guitarist (that we need as much as a third nose) and I need some j-burp, mid presence and articulation to get the bass to sit where I want. Also, doesn the neck have a truss rod ? I can't quite graps what the tension free neck is about.

Yes it has a truss rod but it floats and doesn't rest against the wood so no dead spots.Has a nice P bass pj tone with a lot more bite and sustain.Finger,pick or slap you can't go wrong.If you look at the Bunker link I have in the ad it explains the neck.Its a brilliant design.With the emg pickups and SD pre with the pull slap switch there are tons of tone options.Open to any trades or cash.I apologise because I had it listed as a Bart pre but its a Seymour Duncan STC-3P with slap switch.
