Atelier Z
From Japan we have a slightly used funk bass.
I have been told that the fellow behind these basses now makes the
Sadowsky Metro line - please, correct me if I am wrong.
The quality is here , without a doubt.

* Ash body
* Maple 34" scale neck and fretboard
* Atelier dual / single coil pickups
* Atelier 2 band pre - vol, blend, treble, bass , with the bass knob
being a push / pull single / dual coil switch.

The best of both worlds - single coil for most slapping applications
and dual coil for fingerstyle ( or slap with added booty )
This bass is very nearly mint.
Unlike most Atelier basses I have experienced , this one is not a
boat anchor.
It weighs in at 9lbs, 6oz.

With a very nicely padded gig bag, this bass is $1,250.
