Manufacturing classified in the fender family / music man. Big year alder body (mahogany I think on the ATK 700), handle large stocky, not too big mcaniques prcises, triple coil, single coil in a serious and active electronic. Possibility to block the strings from the bridge or bridges compltement through the body. Handle with key saddle and 24 jumbo frets plutt. Jack intgre well on the side of the lower (stronger than on the fender for example). Plastic nut a little cheap but fortunately ended well.
Rglages: volume, bass, mdiums, acute slecteur 5 positions for coupling DIFFERENT microphones.
Matt varnish and soft on the back of the neck (dtendez-vous. ..). Gloss lacquer on the body (mmhhh. ..) and a standard ... easel all chrome and shiny solid!
Finish trs treats that gives the impression of value for money. Good violin except possibly be a plane of the handle so-so in boxes Most recent internship (at least on my bass, some boxes curl more than others).
Pretty low I think.
UTILIZATION
The neck is absolutely great! Plump, but not too much, and especially easy to play. The frets are well finished on the edge of the handle and do not hurt your fingers. CHAC is acute in boxes made even if, as dj said, some of the eight boxes dernires curl a little.
Play "dry" (no amp), bass gives a good impression. It rsons rap. It Ragit quickly and gives a feeling of rigidity of solids is found in the vibration of the strings. You can play this bass trs "appliququot; with the fingertips or so beat up the strings, you can do everything, from slap to mdiator through your fingers ...
The knobs are easily manipulated and not too prs each other. The booster severe acute mdiums and has a small notch blocking the middle of their race. Practice. With a little usual, we can even rgler in the dark! The slecteur 5 positions is sufficiently large and more convenient than a small switch and fragile ...
The mcaniques are in the middle, nothing more. Ibanez makes some other types of mcaniques much better than-l. Voil you can take the jack and plug the bass ...
SOUNDS
I rcapitule: 3 Tone correcting a single microphone, a microphone and a double 5-way switch -> You can reach a standard range of the Different. Sounds sail in an area ... indescribable!
The slecteur 5 positions:
- In the middle: the sound resembles that of a jazz bass without the roundness (away from the same ...).
- One step to the easel: a like the Music Man without being (not as "singing").
- Compltement to handle: type precision but with less body and less pretty mdiums.
Well, we will not do them all ... if in addition we start fiddling with the knobs, it is doing more!
ATK has it really well. Always sound "like a little ...". This is certainly the fruit of that original design that is not a copy. Ms. Tone with correcting it comes to change the sound that I find hard rsons. Giving more serious, for example, are not going to add roundness. It gives the impression plutt to increase the output level of the tufted mdiums and treble.
I had dj 3 ATK. The dernire, I keep it, because if I sell, I'll buy it back 6 months later! In fact, to be honnte, I do not like the sounds and the texture of the ATK. Plutt quickly one tires of his sound, as numerous as they are. But I find it enjoyable to play and watch trs! It was for the Rasht I always ...
I have long believed that I could get something great reinforcement pedals, pramplis, compressors ... but since I buy a Fender Precision amricaine (CHRE much, it is true) I do not play in a group with the Ibanez. I think the sound is sluggish as a group. It's really the bass showcase idalie. Good looks, his sduisant at first. Worse over time, we realize that a good low passive simple and well built supports better the sound of the guitar. We realize also that the old low-Integrates best with the sound of the bass drum, that does not sound shrill Fawn Black & Decker, that are not serious deafening yet well rounded and well-Submitted ... In short, ATK is a SHIT ELECTRONICS! Call a spade ... a cat!
The pickups should not be terrible either. They have at least MRIT not make too much background noise. During the recordings I've done the home and in groups, I alternated between the Ibanez and Fender. At the cost you, there's no photo: the best Fender spring mix, the sound is more frank, a "breathe" more.
So ...
Its shit ... shit ... note =
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, I would say this is extremely low "charming" and a little tape - l'oeil. It is super well built and has no major gaps if this may be ... sound harsh and wrong (lack of serious natural beautiful). Sounds good but as I slap in not doing with my band ...
I'm thinking to change the pickups and large liabilities output levels as the Fender. We will see what a given at the next property ... PERIOD
Report qualitprix trs honnte as this bass is at least as well made a Music Man SUB rating more than twice that.
In fact, must love the sound ... If anyone has found a configuration (amp, compressor, drive ...) in which this bass sounds great, it m'crive! I would love to finally be able to sound this bass!
"With the exprience, I will avoid the sell before buy ..."
