Calli Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, I am selling a unique Atelier Z Jazz Bass that was custom built for a Japanese bassist. This model, based on a Jazz bass, has never been included in their regular production line. I bought this bass a year ago and, while great, it doesn't get as much playing time as it deserves (I am mainly using my Lakland Darryl Jones). Mas Hino, the main luthier at Atelier Z at that time, used to work for Sadowsky before. As a consequence, this bass feels and sounds remarkably close to a Sadowsky (a comment made by several Sadowsky owners I know). Specs are as follows: • Overall Condition: Very Good • Year of Manufacture: 2002 • Model: JZ-CTM4 (Custom) • Body: Ash top, alder back - a little slimmer than general JB body. • Finish: Transparent Black (Minor scratches are visible, but are consistent with the age of the instrument) • Fingerboard: Rosewood • Hardware: Gold (some slight oxidation) • Pickguard: Clear • Pickups: Atelier Z original. Front is single coil, rear is humbucker, which is switchable (pull volume knob) to single coil. • Preamp: 3-band Atelier Z EQ-X • Control Description: Front volume, rear volume (pull single coil), treble boost/cut and bass boost/cut knobs on body top. Middle boost/cut mini trim pot is located on the preamp circuit board in the control cavity. • On/Off Switch for Preamp: No • Case or Gigbag included: No • Weight: 4.1 kg You can get this very flexible bass for 1800 € delivered in France, Benelux and Germany or £1600 delivered in the UK. As a comparison, a new one (custom ordered) would cost you more than 3000 € (tax included). I can ship to other destinations but we'll have to discuss about the shipping costs. I open to reasonable discussions about the price and will accept partial trades. I am looking for: - a loaded Fender Reggie Hamilton body (black only) or a Fender Jazz Deluxe body (MIM, in black or candy apple red). Actually, I am not so much interested in the electronics but I need all the hardware. - a Precision bass (Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub, Fender 50s, Squier Classic Vibe...). Only constraints: no PJ nor Jazz-sized necks. - a Fender Jazz bass MIM pickguard in Red Tortoise Do not hesitate to ask for more information, Calli Edited November 1, 2011 by Calli
