bubinga5 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Im thinking of keeping this because it really has grown on me. especially the neck and preamp. but one last bump. Atelier Z DAL custom 70's jazz. 9.3 pounds. It was a custom order as I have found out. I emailed AZ and they told me it was made by Mas Hino in 1997. Look up Mas Hino if you don't already know of him. You won't see another DAL custom in black with this weight or specs. This will be my last bump then I will withdraw the instrument. Alder chambered body. Ash top. One piece maple neck with skunk stripe. Atelier Z JBZ 5 pickups, 70,s spacing .Atelier Z EQ/M 2 band preamp... amazingly engineered resolite Gotoh tuners and bridge. A few dings but nothing major. Neck is super comfortable. Very flat. It a 70's jazz bass sounding instrument. The neck is maple with cream binding and goldish pearl block inlays. Its amazingly well made as are all Atelier Z s are with a really tight sounding B string. . 70's pickup spacing. Sounds killer like a 70's jazz does without the weight Trades. Light weight Lakland 55-02 deluxe + cash. Other high end Jazz basses or soapbar basses. 5 string only.

bubinga5 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 18mm at the bridge. No neck dive that i can tell. I use a Sadowsky strap with no problem. It weighs 9.2 pounds on my scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apothem Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 AZs are severely underrated. I own a M245 black/maple like this and have owned a Jino 4, both stunning, high quality instruments. GLWTS, it's loooovely!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
