Japanese ATK305

A micro and a triple 3-band equalization truly effective, a coherent whole.
Bridge type 1kg aluminum bolted to the body, sustain overflowing, a mouth that I did not like 10 years ago when a friend told me bass "is a killer!" and that I preferred the modern stuff ...

I read some reviews on the micro Ibanez, with bass in hand and the sound comes out of the amp they are quickly forgotten.

UTILIZATION

The neck is quite thick but very comfortable, it was really low in the hands of the heavy. Access to acute is normal, as a precision or a Stingray.

It is quite heavy but it will have the philosophy of the instrument.

The sound is monstrous, and the growl of the potato, the serious sounding ... happiness.

The only downside on mine, the frets deserved a little finishing to be less "raw", it does not cut but it did not flow either, it's done is nickel.

SOUNDS

the fact that for all styles, the sound is typed but not too much for exclusive use, played on Ampeg B1 and everything that you have in the studio is always good or very good.
In this beautiful slap in walking it moves the guts ... A very good bass!

Indeed, perhaps one SMX Dual Compressor Trace Elliot, just to get some lamps.

There really is 10 because the value is amazing!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for one month to complete my Status Shark since I forsake ...
I had Washburn XB400 (FRO) to start, Fender fretless Precision 74 (3000 francs sold at the time, I whipped every night since!) Status Shark, I tried everything I could lay my hand for 15 years and I found one foot with this bass that only high-end made me.

I was looking for a low "man" to complete the Status which is rather slight, fine, handle any purpose. The value for money?? ATK 300 or 305 it is around 300-400 €, it's not even a price, it's a gift! I'll start a collection.

Finally, here's a bass that has a character all the qualities of a great for the price of uh ... shit. What do you want more?? This bass is a perfect example of the instrument abandoned by snobbery, if it is not US, Fender or Musicman, who cares, it is full of euros and it Moutonnet

Not only does this choice I would do, but I will actively hunt the great beasts!
