ScottBrough Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) My taste in basses has changed from modern and active to wanting a nice classic fender tone. Im not 100% sure that I'm going to go through with this, It'll only be if I get offered something that really takes my fancy. So, I'm looking for a Fender P or J bass, I don't have a particular model in mind although Im a big fan of highway ones, but it must be passive, and preferably 4 string, but will definitely consider 5s. pic: The ATK was brought new last summer, I have the pickguard for it and it is in very good condition, but the only noticeable cosmetic is some buckle scratches on the back of the bass. It doesnt go through to the wood or anything, but its just a lot of scratches that won't come off. Edited May 28, 2009 by ScottBrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Tried one of these a while back, absolutly loved the tone but the neck was a little big for my girly hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBrough Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yes, the neck is very love/hate I love the feel of it, but really gassing for a more vintage sounding bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say to many, if you'd make it grow another string I'd have been interested...4's have little use to me these days. But like you I also GAS for the vintage models these days.

LeftyJ Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Interesting way of winding the strings around the tuners They really are great basses, both the old Korean and Japanese ones and the current Indonesian ones! I have three MIJ's (two ATK300's and one ATK305) and they're great. I love the all-black look without the pickguard. I wonder how it would look with a black 3-ply pickguard like the old ones used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a b/w/b pickguard for it but to no avail. There must be someone interested in trading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha...I love it on 5-stringers when people wind the Low-B the wrong way...surely it's leading to a broken nut? Remember, always into the centre...if the tuners are on the left, string wants to fall to the right and vise versa....
