Official ATK Club

Love mine. Only bass I play anymore.

Love that grain pattern.

Mine is more uniformed, almost stripey.

 

[ConspiracyBass]

So do I! Too bad the other pieces of Ash used on the body are ho-hum.

Yeah, its 16.5mm and I personally like it a lot.

I moved from a 19mm 5 to the ATK - Ibanez site actually states ATK305 is 17mm BTW.

To ME, it is the best 5 string spacing - easier on my fretting hand, easier to mute, slapping is a BIT tougher at first but you quickly get used to it. After a few days, I was hooked. Had a similar experience way back with a Stingray 5.

My 19 mm was great, but I found it a bit much of a stretch at times and harder to mute, but I can play either now really.

I agree with you there, I love the string spacing on my atk 305. its just right for me. i previously played on some ibanez SRs and the string spacing is tight and the neck so slim, and i was afraid the ATK would be like a huge baseball bat, but it fits just right in my hands. only thing that would make me happier is to have another backup 5er, and a 5er fretless, haha

Figured I'd see more of these, they must be out there somewhere. Supposedly only 400 exist. USA ATK5 with a PBC tension free neck. Do I win the award for the the rarest ?

 

[buzzbass]

And a couple more. The grain on this body is really cool.

ok man, but i have to warn you, if you want mine, you have to take a trip to portugal to get it from me

i envy the US, just because they have a lot of crazy editions of the atk, that europe doesnt have ...

i would totally love a white w/matching headstock

 

[bassist 4 life]

What does the PBC tension free neck actually do?
thats a very hot grain pattern
