Greetings TB'ers,
For sale is my pristine, near-mint Atelier Z J Note 5s. Made in Japan. No dings/nicks/cracks/etc. Straight neck, minimal fretwear. Action is nice and low, with no buzz.
Sweet, clean, deep, incredibly versatile tone. Some dual-humbucker basses only sound like humbuckers, even with the neck pickup soloed. Not this beauty - can do P-thump with neck, J-burp with bridge, modern/hifi with both and everywhere in between. Full and even-toned all the way up the neck. Perfectly balanced with Gotoh Res-o-lite tuners.
Pickups: Front Bartolini 72BC5C-B, Rear Bartolini 72BC5C-T
Preamp: Bartolini NTMB with 3-band midrange selector switch.
Knobs: Vol/Vol (not blend), passive pull up at bridge volume
Body: Ash 2 piece
Neck: Maple/Rosewood 5 piece
Fingerboard: Maple
Finish: Gloss body, satin neck
Tuners: Gotoh GB-350 Res-o-lite
Bridge: ATELIER Z BB518
Scale: 34"
Frets: 24
Bridge Spacing: 18mm
About 9 pounds
Fantastic Optima Gold strings installed!!
Decent (unbranded) gig bag
A truly boutique playing and sounding Japanese bass, priced like an Asian assembly-line one. Ridiculous value. I'd love to keep all the things, but got my eye on something else so...
$1400 PPF&F plus shipping CONUS. Local meetup within DC driving distance highly encouraged.
Thanks for looking!
