Not only is it Atelier Z's flagship model, it's also arguably one of the most representative Japanese-made active basses, boasting a level of recognition that has endured for many years. Based on the style of 70's JB basses, it incorporates Atelier Z's unique ideas throughout its construction, and its high level of craftsmanship, with attention to detail from a bassist's perspective, is the secret to its popularity. This particular model, the M#265, is a 5-string model based on the M#245, featuring a 34-inch scale length and an 18mm string spacing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This guitar features a high-quality ash body. The body design reflects feedback from musicians, and despite its asymmetrical JB shape, the smoother shape on the control side minimizes slippage and tipping when placed on a stand. The maple neck and ebony fingerboard, which are characterized by their powerful low end, are fitted with celluloid-wrapped necks and block position markers. The original bridge, which provides ample sustain and a rich attack, is modeled after the high-quality bridges that were once very popular. In addition, the use of a 3mm thick clear pickguard reduces the distance between the strings and the pickguard, and combined with the half-cut pickup fence, it provides stability for slap bass techniques, thumbing and pulling. The Tuning Z System, with its moderate tension and low string height setting, also provides smooth playability. These player-friendly specifications and meticulous adjustments are likely the secrets to its long-standing popularity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even with a low action setting, it delivers a solid, punchy sound that doesn't lose its body, producing a strong bass presence that stands out in various ensembles and genres. The preamp is the familiar Bartolini\/XTCT, which fully utilizes the rich resonance of the bass itself while enabling even more aggressive sound shaping. When used actively, it can produce a wide range of sounds, from thick, rocking bass to scooped slap sounds with a boosted EQ. Furthermore, the instrument itself has a rich sound with ample mass, so even when used passively, it produces harmonically rich and elastic bass tones, making it suitable for various playing styles and musical genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular instrument is a custom-ordered model commissioned by our shop. It features a transparent blue matching headstock. Its appearance evokes the image of a simplified version of a renowned endorser's instrument. Beyond its instantly recognizable, distinctive sound, the meticulous quality control of our workshop's basses provides a sense of security that captivates many bassists. This is a truly professional model that will make a statement on stage and in recording studios.
