FOR SALE:
Immaculate Handmade Atelier Z DAL-5 Jazz Bass.
I've had many Boutique Jazz Basses from the likes of Mike Lull, Bacchus, Marcus Miller V, Sei and Atelier Z are right in the mix. Fell in love with their sound ever since seeing Jerry Barnes live with Chic. There's Jazz Basses and then theirs a Super Jazz, and this Atelier Z definitely earns that badge. I'll be sad to see this go but I can't justify keeping this bass in a case. It deserves to be played.
This bass dates back to approx. 2002, which I have had confirmed by Johnny at Atelier Z, and handmade by Mas Hino in Japan, who went on to work with Roger Sadowsky making their basses in New York.
The body has recently been re-finished by David Wilson in Hexam, who has done an unreal job. It looks, feels and play brand new.
