Arnoldoc Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Selling my Atelier Z Jerry Barnes M265. Top of the line, hand made in Japan, 70s style bass from Atelier. Bought new a few weeks ago and in literally "as new" condition. Fantastic instrument and craftsmanship, but selling as I'm much more of a 60s pickup position / alder body guy. Easily nails the 70s super jazz, Marcus Miller type of tone. It has an upgraded electronics package (including a passive tone knob), adding additional versatility. 70s type of sound but without the huge weight! (pretty light for an ash 5 string). Currently setup with quite low action with no buzz at all. Jerry Barnes (Chic's bass player) signature model. Specs: Neck : Maple with binding, 21 Frets Body : Ash Tuners : GOTOH Bridge : Vintage-type Pickups : ATELIER Z JBZ-5 Preamp : ATELIER Z EQ-M Control : F vol, R vol/switch A/P, Passive Tone, Stacked Bass/Trenble Colour : Vintage Natural gloss Gig Bag: Padded deluxe Sring spacing at bridge: 19mm Weight: 4.5kg Plenty of feedback: Edited July 26, 2021 by Arnoldoc 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothem Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Well. if it's good enough for Chic, then... LOL I used to have a AZ JIno 4 with the same EQ-M preamp, and it sounded terrific. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
