@bassdiegofloyd ATK is indeed a type that comes close to a stingray, but the pricerange is way lower. Since OLPs aren't made anymore, this is the best low price range alternative :)
Great job Aloha432. I tried one of these in the store this morning and am pretty close to making a decision to get this guitar. I have been playing a Yamaha BB305 for the last 15 years and it's time to get an Active bottom feeder. Love&Peace y'all
People say this bass is extremely heavy but just how heavy is it? I'm definitely going to try it out, but right now I can't. How much heavier is it than a P or J bass?
Nice, tasteful and precise playing! Thumbs up! Man.. how do you get your atk to sound so mid-growly in fingerstyle? I don't seem to be able to get the slightest bit of mid-growl out of mine... Dou you change EQ or pickup switching from slap to fingerstyle? Using nickel-roundwounds, I suppose..? Thanks for any hints!
Yeah, I just got myself an 4 string ATK as well. Covers all the right sounds, from dark standup-ish jazz to gritty funk. Very nice playing indeed....enjoy it much, thanks!
You should write more music!! The way you play can be improved, there's alot of headroom there, but the way you put the composition down, is awesome! Please don't give up writing music!!
Awesome playing dude! nice groove, great tones and a nice mix of styles. 5 stars for you, and a favourite for me :o) Love to hear/see more of the ATK in action....I'm getting ever closer to buying one.
That is nice... Have ATK300 in black... Nice bass, thought the thick vinyl coating kills the sound, so it doesnt sond as good as the clear the natural finishes...
I have a MIJ version in black and i`am modding everything on it right now.
It`s a good bass alright but it lacks that punchy slap sound and it`s a bit hard to cut through the mix, plus mine had some high end hissing, not to mention the weight of that sucker.
I exchanged almost every part in the preamp with better audio components, put in a bassculture ATK PU, glued a flame top on the body/headstock,..lighter bridge and tuners and now i have to repaint it :)
Damn! Ibanez's ATK-300 cops the vintage StingRay vibe better than the present Stingray. Must be the thru-body stringing. I just ordered an older ATK from G-center-can't wait to plug that puppy in! Anywhoo,great grooving on this tune. Nice to hear someone slap without going diggidadiggidadiggida....and your fingertone is happenin'too-good post,bro!
This is the only Ibanez Bass I don't hate. I've tried lots of Ibanez basses and I don't like them, except this one, which I own.
Sometimes I miss the sound of a "Passive" Bass, this bass sounds very "Active". The pickup is nice, the attack has balls but 0.5 seconds after hitting a note you can hear the note choking. I'm gonna replace the pickup
Nope, it has a 3 position switch, down position is for slapping and that stuff, middle position emulates a MusicMan Stingray, it's good for fingers and pick, I don't use the upper position, it almost sounds like the middle position but with less balls.
I want to replace the pickup and buy a Stingray pickup
Awesome playing man, right in the pocket, I came to this vid to check out a ATK tone since I just traded for one and I see this dude just grooving his ass off.. AWESOME subscribed.
I don't know if you can get new Japanese ones. In my country one can get only Indonesian or Korean models, I've tried one and that stuff was cool and very powerful too. Also they are equipped with high quality strings!
I've got a 10 year old Japanese ATK - I've bought it last November. It's the MOST versatile bass I have ever seen. The sounds are great but the price is affordable. One of the best basses. I LOVE it more and more, day by day.
1,000,000 imaginary dollars to whoever guesses right what is playing on the tv in the backround. you can see on the reflection of guitar. I know the answer
nice tone man ... but you're recording directly into your puter somehow, right? :) I have 2 older ATK's a fretted and a fretless and really like them both ... A LOT! Good job bro!! :)
hey! awesome sound in that bass man. thinking of getting me one. ur doing awesome. slapping is perfect. good feel and tone! do you think that a tri-fade (sunburst) atk would look good?
Groovy!
