Well, I've had my T40 for a couple of weeks now and I must say it's what I dreamed it would be. There are so many sounds in this thing! So many that I find myself forgetting how to dial in all the variations. I found a sweet Rickenbacker-ish sound throwing the pickups out of phase (but if I want...

I'm certainly partial to maple boards. I have two Ibanez ATK Premiums (four and a fiver) with maple and my Ric 4003SW has the most stunning maple board I've ever laid eyes on. I'm also a BIG fan of ash bodies but I don't get tunnel visioned on one type of wood. I'll be sure to pass on my...

There are only a few small marks around the output jack which are very minor. Other than that, nothing at all to hint that it was ever played. I was hoping to find a burst with maple fingerboard but when this came available in my area for $700 I wasn't going to be picky considering the...

Thanks. It is indeed a fine looking bass. Just needs a minor tweak on the E string as I find it a little too low and doesn't have the best action in drop D. Currently I ride a 2011 Yamaha Stryker but will likely be selling it this year either to upgrade to a V Star Touring 1300 Deluxe or I may...

Picked this up today after a long time of hunting and scouring. Paid $700 CDN. It's an '83 (which I wanted as it's my birth year) and in as close to mint shape I've ever seen one. I'm now the third owner. I'll be spending some quality time with this over the weekend .

That sandblasted J looks stellar with the black hardware. Really admired the blue finish.

My honest review is it is my favorite five string I've owned. The fanned fret design is very easy to adapt to and within a week or two (depending on how much you play it), you'll find yourself getting comfortable with it. Very even sound across the fretboard. It sounds great. The active/passive...

Not really a fan of either. I think the black hardware would look nice on a Walnut model.

My ATKs. Love those Premium models. They're getting along well with my Rickenbackers.

My current setup minus my ABG.

Hey everyone; Long time admirer, first time poster here in the ATK club. I just got an ATK815 to go with my ATK810. Pics will be provided later once I get this sh*t eating grin off my face. Damn these things sound sweet.

Great info. Thanks for the help!

I'm looking to replace the stock white plastic pickguard on my Ric 4003S Mapleglo. Searches online haven't yielded much success in finding what I want. I'm looking for something made from wood (preferably maple but open to other options) which I could stain to a color of my choice (thinking...

Thanks. My old guitarist referred to me as a "gear wh**e". Although, I haven't sold a bass in over two years now. I've just been acquiring them pretty quick. Everything in this pic was bought since November 2014. I went through a period where I sold a large portion of my gear or only had cheap...

Got one. Ibanez Fanned Fret 5.
