Man, I am so longing for a Purple Atelier Z M265. I played one in London and it is by far the best Jazz Bass I ever played. Not a single Custom Shop Fender, No Sadowsky etc was close.Absolutely. A good used Atelier Z can be had for JPY 250,000.
If you're in Shibuya, Ikebe Music Bass Collection, Kurosawa Gakki, and Ishibashi are well worth a visit.
