The KenKen signature model, from the legendary bass hero, has arrived.

The "BK" signature model is synonymous with KenKen, who is active in various projects, including famous bands. It is well known that the background to the creation of the signature model was KenKen's desire for a "24-fret version of the M#245," which he was fond of using Atelier Z's flagship model, the "M#245." Equipped with the Bartolini/XTCT circuit also installed in the M#245, and with the addition of the MCT375 middle control, this model embodies KenKen's meticulous attention to detail. While retaining the powerful sound quality of the Magnitude, this model boasts a wide tonal range and diverse sound control that responds to KenKen's versatile playing style.

With its 24-fret design, the cutaway is deeper and the body is slightly smaller than the M#245, resulting in a quick and responsive sound. The ability to achieve a solid, resonant acoustic tone even with low string action is a welcome feature unique to ATELIER Z. It delivers excellent articulation for slap bass, and a well-defined bottom end for fingerstyle and pick playing. In addition, it features a Bartolini/XTCT preamp. Known for its powerful design based on the Fender Bassman's EQ section, this preamp offers clear and effective tone control and a bright, solid tone, allowing for the creation of expressive sounds. Furthermore, the addition of the MCT375 mid-controller further expands the range of sound variations. Compared to the similar "Beta4" model, it gives the impression of producing a robust, almost bored-out sound. This model also features an ATELIER Z original bridge, and the punchy, tight tone and rich sustain produced by the weighty bridge are also appealing.

This signature model boasts impressive specifications such as a striking mirror pickguard, tuning pegs engraved with the character for "demon," small metal knobs, and a Badass bridge. It also features a D-tuner on the 4th string, allowing for one-touch drop D tuning. KenKen, a renowned modern bass hero, has poured his secrets to aggressive playing into this instrument. While normally a made-to-order model, this is one available for immediate delivery—don't miss out!

Pickguard: A mirror pickguard that shines beautifully under stage lighting. It also gives the body lines a sharper look.
Preamp: KenKen previously used the m#245, so he chose the familiar Bartolini XTCT. In addition, he used the MCT-375 to add to the mid range, resulting in a design that also provides strong low-mids.
Bridge: Equipped with Badass Bass II.
Tuners: Equipped with specially customized KenKen logo D-tuners and tuners.
