jay-syncro Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Due to unforeseen circumstances I'm having to let this beauty go. Atelier Z make some of the best super-jazz basses going, and this is no exception. It combines faultless Japanese build quality with great electronics and the result is pretty stunning. The bass plays beautifully with a low action, the neck feels great and is a beautiful piece of maple (see last pic). It was hand made in Japan and comes complete with an Atelier Z case. Spec: Nut width : 38.5 mm Finger board 20 fret width : 63.5 mm Fingerboard R : 240R Neck thickness : 1st fret 21.2 mm , 12th fret 23.8 mm 21 frets, 34" scale, Maple neck Ash top over an alder body Pickups - Atelier Z JBZ-4 Preamp - EQ-XXII Preamp with the following configuration: neck vol - bridge vol - treble - bass and adjustable trim pot inside for mids Badass II bridge Gotoh GB 528 tuners with a Detuner on the E string Atelier Z case Just set up with a new set of DR Hi-Beam strings and a new Duracell to ensure many trouble free hours of funk ahead 😎 Edited July 4, 2018 by jay-syncro 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay-syncro Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 I should also add that I can refit the Badass II bridge that came as standard. I removed it as I'm not a fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brams77 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Ooh this is real tasty! What's the weight? Any sound clips you can tease us with? Edited June 12, 2018 by Brams77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 4kg with the vintage bridge and 4.1kg with the BAII. I have some recordings from a recent gig if that'll suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay-syncro Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Here's a couple of live recordings from a gig using the Atelier Z. Bass was DI'd straight to the desk. I occasionally play the correct notes, but don't like my bandmates to become complacent 😁 If function band song choices offend you, do not click the link!

bassaussie Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Mate, that's some amazing playing. I love listening to a rhythm section that locks the way you guys do - I'm including the guitarist, BTW. Really tight, just fabulous playing. And the bass ain't bad either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay-syncro Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) He's another track recorded at the same gig. The guitarist gets to stretch his legs a bit more on this one 👌 Again, straight DI signal from the Atelier Z, but this time with a little Octave pedal action.

jay-syncro Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 OK, I can let this go for £925 posted to your door with the new Fender Vintage bridge fitted. That's an absolute bargain for a bass of this pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
