Bass ID: 6-string Jazz-style bass

[konaaayukeeenee]

Does anyone recognize this bass? I saw it in the background of a video from 2016 (snippet of an interview with Ian King for anyone curious).

It’s awfully difficult to identify a bass with only a blurry image of a body and no headstock.

That said, I’m going to guess the bass is an ATELIER Z JINO-6.

Here is a clear image of the Atelier (with a black pickguard instead of the tort in your pic)…

Atelier Z was going to be my suggestion as well.

The bridge placement looks a little different, but otherwise very similar.

Maybe a KSD Proto J?

Whatever it is, it is nice to see a Jazz bass with the correct number of strings.

Probably a custom. I also have a 6 string Jazz and could not find the manufacturer. As far as I know, the only production 6 string Jazz is a Squire.

To my untrained eye, those look like Nordstrand pickups or copies. Look at the pole pieces.

Edit: Ian King's website has pictures of him playing Overwater basses, and their bridges look kind of similar:

Edit 2: Overwater has a signature page for him with a bio, too.

I also noticed the pickups. Could be a Nordy

Thanks for chiming in so far, everyone.

I was leaning towards the Atelier Z Jino-6 too except the pickups look more like the Nordstrand Jazz 'bars' as pointed out.

My first guess was a LowEnd J, but Atelier Z is also a strong possibility

My first thought was Bass Mods.
They do a 6 string jazz bass.

Looks like an Overwater to me.
