Nbd ibanez atk 405

[patrikmarky]

this turned up today purchased of eBay £150.00 + postage and its awsome
Had one a few years ago and really regretted selling it on
Fantastic range of sounds and great low action .
Hugely underrated ...

I'm actually starting to appreciate the black 'n' maple thing... and that's a total bargain.

Brilliant buy! Congrats

[alyctes]

I do like the 2+3 headstock... not that I play fives, mind you

Looks like a good deal!

Thats great - I was looking for an ATK805 the other day, there don't seem to be many of those around. Mind you there didn't seem to be many ATKs at all.
I tried to buy one on gumtree once but the guy stopped talking.

[patrikmarky]

There's one on eBay through a online shop from Germany I think around £550.00..

What, while you were on the phone? Did you hear him collapse? Had he fainted, or been shot or something?

Lovely bass.

[Funky Dunky]

Really nice bass. Those things sound wicked - how are the necks?

[ebenezer]

got the atk 300, and again, a very good bass.

[patrikmarky]

Necks quite "chunky"...which I like in a bass , not your typical ibanez ..its lighter than my USA sub and has so many more options with
The active eq ....this is a keeper ..

That's because it's the best combination...

Humm this looks really interesting. How does it compare to the Ibanez SR range in terms of tone and feel? I love my SR for its weight and sound but I find the neck is a bit too thin for my hands.

My favourite ibanez bass, I really miss mine and this has made it worse! Absolute bargain, nice one.

I have always liked these basses and really enjoyed the sound I was getting when I played one, BUT I just can't get past the aesthetics of the massive bridge, and it has put me off buying one in the past.

The price one pays for being shallow.

The tonal range is vast especially with the Jazz pup ,it's a chunkier neck compared to the sr I here the necks are thin ..its heavy than the sr I've never tried a sr so can't really advise on tonal comparison...

Yeah the bridge is my least favourite aspect of the bass and not sure it really needs it ..but I can live with it
