SimonH Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tried offering this for trade but no takers, so it's the last stop before I put it in the attic and forget about it. £200 is a bit daft for a guitar this good, but gotta feed the need for new gear! [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a mega-deep trans blue (almost black) Ibanez [/font][/color][color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ATK405[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] in clean condition and no issues. Specs are 24-fret maple neck and board, 34” scale, five-way switch between triple coil bridge and single coil neck. Made in Korea in 2000.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s an absolutely amazing instrument to play – the fretboard is flat, action is ultra-low but no fret-buzz, frets are hardly played, and it's a doddle to use; [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’ve got diddy fingers and I’m perfectly comfortable on it. I just keep forgetting it's a 5-er when I play live. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The range of sounds is broad; you should be able to find something to love here. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]When I got the ATK it was missing the trussrod cover at the top of the neck: I bought a new one. I also fitted a set of DR DDTs, which have two gigs on them. So they’re as new.[/font][/color] As I say, I was looking to trade for another bass but I'm over it now; I want a MB combo instead. So unless you can trade one of those (cash your way, obviously), the ATK has to go. £200 is a give-away, but I can't stand stuff sitting around not being used while I want to buy something else. I'm also selling a '79 Ibanez Roadster and an Akai Unibass elsewhere on Basschat (as soon as I get the pics up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonH Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Bumped. Am I bonkers or is this a good deal? I might actually buy it off myself, then I'd have the guitar AND the money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why does no one want these ATK's? They're awesome basses, and for £200 someone's getting a pretty high end Ibanez bass... Tempted to buy it back myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is a damn good deal and a really sweet looking bass! If I wasn't obsessed with 4 string Fenders I'd be all over this. GLWTS dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 He's not lying when he says this is a great deal - I've got the 4 string version and though it gets little use it's still an excellent bass... £200 is pittance for this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonH Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I know, I know... I'm not selling it back for £200 to you Russ... :-)... oh, hang on, yes I would. Another day or two of this, then... I'll burn it. I will! Thanks for the kind words, dudes! Edited August 29, 2012 by SimonH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshallBTB Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This was mine before it hit this Forum I think, quality bass, loads of options. If I could justify it I'd be tempted, bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonH Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Gah! I sort of want to keep it too, but I've tried and 5 strings is one too many. Someone, please? Don't make me eBay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
