Maybe there's something you could do with the pickup switch, perhaps you could replace that with some 6 way pickup selector knob with 3 settings being passive equivalents.

Anyone know if you can buy an engraved bridge from a ATK300RSPBK? I really want to pop one of these on my 700

Check the spares section on the Ibanez website, find the serial number an find an Ibanez dealer. Be prepared to bend over when the bill arrives though... was quoted SEVENTEEN pounds for a replacement nut for mine, I could easily get a hand carved one made for me by a local luither (which would be specifically for the gauge of strings I use too) for half that

Guess it depends too on what parts you seek - for example, I recently checked with my dealer on the cost of a replacement ATK pickup and preamp here in Canada:

Pickup $60 CAN (on a side note, it appears the 5 and 4 string use the SAME pickup, as only one model exists)
Preamp - $120

The PREAMP cost shocked me, though ultimately IF I put a stock ATK pickup in again (currently have an EMG 40DC and really dig it), the preamp is something I don't miss and wouldn't replace even if it was cheaper).

Wow, that's pretty insane, you could get a pretty genuinely awesome pre second hand for not much more then that I bet.

Just scored this ATK for $200 plus a hard case, soft case, and the guy threw in an cool-old Hartke tuner! Had to do some cleaning up, but it looks great now!

A few dings here and there, but for an almost 19-year-old bass, it looks good!

Before....

After...

Please can I have a numbah!

Now if only I was a righty! I'm going to teach myself to play upside down just so I can enjoy what you've all been talkin' 'bout!

Did they make any of these 300s with the MM-style trussrod adjustment?
