Calli Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, I am selling a unique Atelier Z Jazz Bass that was custom built for a Japanese bassist. This model, based on a Jazz bass, has never been included in their regular production line. I bought this bass a year ago and, while great, it doesn't get as much playing time as it deserves (I am mainly using my Lakland Darryl Jones). Mas Hino, the main luthier at Atelier Z at that time, used to work for Sadowsky before. As a consequence, this bass feels and sounds remarkably close to a Sadowsky (a comment made by several Sadowsky owners I know). Specs are as follows: • Overall Condition: Very Good • Year of Manufacture: 2002 • Model: JZ-CTM4 (Custom) • Body: Ash top, alder back - a little slimmer than general JB body. • Finish: Transparent Black (Minor scratches are visible, but are consistent with the age of the instrument) • Fingerboard: Rosewood • Hardware: Gold (some slight oxidation) • Pickguard: Clear • Pickups: Atelier Z original. Front is single coil, rear is humbucker, which is switchable (pull volume knob) to single coil. • Preamp: 3-band Atelier Z EQ-X • Control Description: Front volume, rear volume (pull single coil), treble boost/cut and bass boost/cut knobs on body top. Middle boost/cut mini trim pot is located on the preamp circuit board in the control cavity. • On/Off Switch for Preamp: No • Case or Gigbag included: No • Weight: 4.1 kg You can get this very flexible bass for 1800 € delivered in France, Benelux and Germany or £1600 delivered in the UK. As a comparison, a new one (custom ordered) would cost you more than 3000 € (tax included). I can ship to other destinations but we'll have to discuss about the shipping costs. I open to reasonable discussions about the price and will accept partial trades. I am looking for: - a loaded Fender Reggie Hamilton body (black only) or a Fender Jazz Deluxe body (MIM, in black or candy apple red). Actually, I am not so much interested in the electronics but I need all the hardware. - a Precision bass (Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub, Fender 50s, Squier Classic Vibe...). Only constraints: no PJ nor Jazz-sized necks. - a Fender Jazz bass MIM pickguard in Red Tortoise Do not hesitate to ask for more information, Calli Edited November 1, 2011 by Calli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
