+1 on that.
All the prestige Ibbys I've played were nothing but top-notch in the craftsmanship and fit & finish departments.

Here's my '79 Musician.
I thought I had already posted it here, but then I realized that I had posted it in the ebony board thread.

OH, NO!
What have I done?
I never should have let you play it at last years get-together.

I'm so sorry.

The ATKs look like beasts and I hear nothing but good things about them, I should try one before I decide on a new bass!
I'm a big fan of the ATK series. It has a good range of tones for a one pick-up bass, and it sounds, plays, and feels great. If you like a ballsy sound, I'm sure you'll like the ATK.
got myself a SRX-705, and it's not only fun to play and incredibly versatile, it's gorgeous.....

did anyone see the new Ibanez add with Adam Blackstone playing an ATK that had a single coil at the neck position. anyone know anymore about this model?

yeah i guess. I didn't notice that the koa (?) one had the neck PUP. the one in the add was a sunburts 5er and it had a three way PUP selector switch as well as the ATK switch for the tri-coil. As much as i like the ATK this one just didn't do it for me. Now the koa topped one in smurf-o-death's post is a completely different story
Thanks
Ibanez makes some killer guitars. The RG series has such a comfortable neck. I tried probably a dozen or so guitars and Ibanez was the most consistent. I do not even want to talk about the quality of the Fender instruments I tried. The cool thing is, I also had a chance to try a few ATKs (the ones made in Indonesia) and they were also surprisingly really good. No sharp fret ends, manageable weight, and nice electronics. Come next year I really want an ATK 5 string. They are awesome for the $$$.
Here is my 1983 Ibanez Roadstar II and my GSR200 back-up bass...there is vids of me on my myspace if you want to hear the difference...GSR with Ampeg and Markbass and my 83 : )
