Up for sale is my Ibanez ATK 305. I bought this new about three months ago from a store here in Richmond and while it's not mint (mint, to my mind, being absolutely brand new), it's in excellent shape. I think I only managed to put one scratch in the body and I'll be polishing that out tonight. The black pickguard shows typical light sratching.
Some details:
- Ash body
- maple fretboard w/ round edge treatment
- Trifade burst with black pickguard
- Ibanez ATK Triple Coil pickup
- ATK 3-band EQ & tone character switch
- can be strung through body or through bridge. I happened to have a mixed set of D'Addario XLs with long scale E-G and a super long scale B, so that's what it's currently wearing, with the B strung through the body and the rest through the bridge.
This is, without a doubt, my favorite budget bass of all time. For sheer gig-worthiness I will take the Pepsi challenge with this bass vs. anything else on the market. It's solid, dependable and between the coil switching and the EQ I can dial in a variety of really useful sounds. Does it sound like a P-Bass? No. A Jazz Bass? No. A Stingray? No. It has it's own unique tone that I've found sits very well in a mix. And the B is excellent.
So if I'm so high on it why am I selling it? Because I couldn't resist another bass here on TB and the balance must be maintained lest I displease She Who Must Be Obeyed. If my latest purchase doesn't work out I'll buy another ATK, no question.
In summary - 3 mos. old, plastic still on the control cavity cover, fresh setup.
Asking $400 shipped in the lower 48. I think I'm all out of gig bags but I'm up to my knees in bubble wrap, so it'll be packed well.
Always happy to talk trades. Currently on my wish list:
-backup head (LMII, Genz-Bemz Shuttle, Carvin B800, Peavey Tour series, etc. etc.)
- rack tuner
- 3-spc rack bag
- a good multi-effect
- preamp wired for four holes and one switch.
- Hipshot cloverleaf ultralights (5) 1/2" width
Thanks,
J.
