When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)
A few years ago I heard a bass player (who's name I don't know) with Martha Davis' Band (formerly of 'The Motels') playing both fretted and fretless Ibanez ATK basses. The tone (through the PA anyway) was thick and warm... really superb.... as was this guy's reserved but supportive playing.
I have never thought of using an Ibanez Basses (jangan marah ya moe.. eko..) but, since then.. I thought of someday getting one of these for myself.. hahahaha.. nabung2.. 125.000 Yen ^_^' *gleg* hehehehe.. I occasionally see one used on the internet, but it seems as though Ibanez no longer or perhaps never sells these (markets these) in the USA, nor do they list them on their US web pages nor other countries. It's only avaliable in Japan !!! but also, they are available through music stores (that have web sites) in Germany and other european countries, and they are featured on the Ibanez web pages for other countries (such as England/UK for example). It also seems that the only models of ATK basses ever sold in the US or other countries (di Indonesia juga, inget waktu ke Jakarta NAMM kemaren di JHCC ga win ?) were the ATK 300 (4 string) and the ATK 305 (5 string), but overseas there are many other higher end models of ATK basses that include an extra neck J-style pickup (in addition to the triple single coil/humbucker bridge pickup seen on all ATK's), as well as the top of the line ATK 1300 OL and ATK 1305 OL that have a AAA flame maple top on the body.
Well.. kapan yah ke Jepang.. damn SARS..
nahh.. bole ni win dikawinin sama Bmax lo tadi.. hehehehe (^_^)\m/
