【used】Atelier Z / M#245 Natural Mod. 4.55kg #0106xx【GIB Yokohama】

Atelier Z is a professional bass guitar brand beloved by professional bassists both in Japan and abroad.
It's known for its basses being used by a host of renowned musicians, including Tomohito Aoki, KenKen, BOH, and JINO.

This is the flagship M Series, Tomohito Aoki's signature model.

Based on the 1970s Fender Jazz Bass, it's a more modern model.

The body is ash, with a maple fingerboard and neck, a classic brand configuration.

The pickups are original.
The preamps are BARTOLINI XTCT and MCT3MC.

This one has been modified.
Controls include neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone, treble/bass, mute switch, and mid-boost/cut (in the cavity).

The four-way mini switch offers active/passive, mid-frequency switching, series/parallel, and tone capacitor switching.

The heavyweight ash body produces punchy low frequencies and piercing high frequencies, making it an appealing choice.

A masterpiece that lets you experience the coveted slap sound.
