  1. I used to own a Suhr and these are are easily as good at half the price. Different but the quality and playability are just as good. .
  2. Sound demo of an Atelier Z with the exact spec.
  3. 18mm at the bridge. No neck dive that i can tell. I use a Sadowsky strap with no problem. It weighs 9.2 pounds on my scale.
  4. The width of the neck at the nut is 97 mm
  5. I look back on pictures and sound samples of this Lakland. I can't remember who I let it go to and I cant find the previous messages.. but if you see this and want to sell it back please let me know.
  6. Were these not all made in Japan.? I thought they were a Japanese company. Im probably wrong. I played one of these at Bass Direct and it was off the chart good. Really punchy through a Genz rig.
  7. phenomenal 6 string bass. Yamaha at its very best.
  8. For his voice alone. Its so unique and I like a unique voices, like I like Micheal McDonald etc.
  9. Im thinking of keeping this because it really has grown on me. especially the neck and preamp. but one last bump. Atelier Z DAL custom 70's jazz. 9.3 pounds. It was a custom order as I have found out. I emailed AZ and they told me it was made by Mas Hino in 1997. Look up Mas Hino if you don't already know of him. You won't see another DAL custom in black with this weight or specs. This will be my last bump then I will withdraw the instrument. Alder chambered body. Ash top. One piece maple neck with skunk stripe. Atelier Z JBZ 5 pickups, 70,s spacing .Atelier Z EQ/M 2 band preamp... amazingly engineered resolite Gotoh tuners and bridge. A few dings but nothing major. Neck is super comfortable. Very flat. It a 70's jazz bass sounding instrument. The neck is maple with cream binding and goldish pearl block inlays. Its amazingly well made as are all Atelier Z s are with a really tight sounding B string. . 70's pickup spacing. Sounds killer like a 70's jazz does without the weight Trades. Light weight Lakland 55-02 deluxe + cash. Other high end Jazz basses or soapbar basses. 5 string only.

    SOLD

    Im suprised that this hasnt hadnt had more interest. The price is subjective of course but ive played a few of these and they are the real deal 5 string jazz basses.
  11. Everything is great about this. Ed Motta. Fantastic bass playing also. I went to see Incognito in London and this guy came on in a pink cardigan and blew me and my sister away. Have followed his and Black Band Rio's music ever since.
  12. Ive been asked to play for a local cover band. They gave me set list and it is really varied. Some songs are great and some im not a fan of. How many of you guys are in a cover band and are in this situation and what are your thoughts. Im thinking i may learn from the stuff i dont particularly like musically. It varies from AHA to Prince, to Bob Marley to Abba etc. Just wanted anyones thoughts really.
  13. I had a USA Jazz 5 from around 2001 I believe. Was in ocean blue or that type of colour. The B string was awful, really floppy but it may have had the wrong strings on it. Could have done with some DR Low Riders. Whats the price on the one your looking at.? I would certainly buy another one for the right price but I reckon £600 is fair. I thought the USA 5 in line tuner Jazz Basses had an 18 v preamp. I could be wrong. This one has. https://reverb.com/item/4369305-2001-american-fender-jazz-v-5-string-bass
  14. An absolute master class in jazz funk bass playing. I bought this DVD and was pretty much blown away.
  15. Im not sure I care what they are talking about because I don't understand Portuguese, the music alone and the musicians are just magic.
