1996 Ibanez Japan ATK300-R Bass Guitar (Natural)Japanese made in the mid 1990's, the ATK300 R was a mid range ATK model with an ash body, maple neck and 22 fret rosewood fingerboard. Weighing 4. 5kg's, it's loaded with a triple coil humbucker controlled by a three band EQ and it sounds just as big as you'd imagine. Professionally serviced and restrung prior to listing, it's got shiny frets and a straight neck with an adjustable truss and only basic signs of wear as pictured.

With a classic black and chrome aesthetic

easily converted back by adding some strings and removing the nuts from the tailpiece
