SimonH Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Hi – really don’t want to let this go, but can’t switch between four strings and five strings during a gig without getting black looks from the singer every time I go for the E and get a B instead. So here it is, a mega-deep trans blue (almost black) Ibanez ATK405 in near-mint condition and no issues. Specs are 24-fret maple neck and board, 34” scale, five-way switch between triple coil bridge and single coil neck. Made in Korea in 2000. It’s an amazing instrument to play – the range of sounds are broad; you should be able to find something to love here. The neck isn’t wide – I’ve got diddy fingers and I’m perfectly comfortable on it. When I got the bass (from another Basschatter) it was missing the trussrod cover at the top of the neck: I bought a new one. I also fitted a set of DR DDTs, which have two gigs on them. So they’re as new. I can’t tell you how easy this is to play, and how good it sounds – you can get a (rough) idea of the tones the ATK can stretch to below: But, as I said, I can’t play it live, and that’s what I need it for. So I’m looking to trade for… not sure. I’ve got a few ‘classic’ Roadstars and Roadsters, so I’m after something relatively modern, active and slappy. I’d be happy with a 4-string version of the ATK, but I’d think about Spector/Schecter/Warwick etc. Try me. Value-wise, I paid £250 for the ATK, which is a bit underpriced I think, but something between there and £300 is about right. I can top-up the deal with various pedals (including a boxed Akai UniBass)/fretless Ibanez/other stuff. Let’s talk! (The pics are a combination of old ones from the previous sale and online stuff; I can supply my pics later (but check feedback; I’m not messing anyone about!)

TheGreek Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've got the 4 string version of this - isn't the colour called "Midnight Blue" - must say I don't play it much..though it is a good bass with a good range of tones.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

such Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Would you consider selling the UniBass separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonH Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Certainly would. Bought it from eBay a while back. I'll revisit my buying history and find out what I paid for it! Probably too much... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Tis a fair price for a cracking bass! This little baby used to be mine, loved it, but it needs one or two more strings for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
