) as I have just bought a Stingray 5 and already have two other ATK's. I used this ATK300 for D-tuning but have no need for that in my current bands.Those of you who know the ATK series will know what this is. For those who don't: the aim of the ATK was for Ibanez to draw customers who wouldn't normally buy an Ibanez. The ATK is everything the most well-known Ibanez bass, the Soundgear, is not: it is anything but sleek and light. Its aim was also to provide an affordable alternative to the MM Stingray, and it did so with grace. The first run of ATK's was Korean-made. Later on, Japanese models also became available, until finally the curtain fell for the ATK in 2000. Both the Japanese and Korean made ATK300 and the Japanese made ATK305 were available lefthanded.
In 2007 new ATK's were introduced, this time Korean and Indonesian made, including a lefty version of the Paul Gray (Slipknot) model. There are no regular models available lefthanded anymore though.
The one I'm selling is made in Japan.
The specs:
- 3-piece ash body, finished in transparent black;
- 3-piece maple neck, wide and fat;
- big ATK bridge;
- 3-coil ATK humbucker, switchable to parallel / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) + high cut;
- 3-band EQ.
The body has some dents, that's how I got it about 7 months ago. I've marked them in the pictures.
I'm asking 400 Euros or best offer. Shipping within most of Europe is 30 Euros. Eastern Europe is 40 Euros. Shipping to the USA is 104 Euros.
