The Ibanez ATK805E Premium Electric Bass was designed from the ground up for the working bassist after a long, intensive period of research and development. This bass combines incredible versatility, superb tonewoods and great looks. The ATK805E bass is made at the Ibanez Premium factory and is loaded with a CAP Double Humbucker bridge pickup and an Ibanez proprietary CAP Sonic Arch neck pickup, in combination with the specially made ATK-N3 3-band EQ, the ATK805E Premium delivers true versatility.

There's no form of music outside the comfort zone of the ATK805E Premium bass. Jazz, Gospel, Classic Rock, Metal and more are easily within reach. The massive bridge unit firmly attached to the body transfers optimal string vibration to the body resulting in excellent sustain.

The ATK805e demonstrates very high quality construction. The neck is nicely finished and is very comfortable to play. I haven't had to use it, but I appreciate the small touches like the truss rod adjustment that is not buried under a cover or at an awkward angle that is difficult to access. I also like that the battery compartment doesn't need to be unscrewed to change the battery. Before I purchased this bass I read a review that called it a "jack of all trades" and I would agree with that statement. You can get a wide variety of tonal options. (Personally, I think it has a nice sound with everything flat and both pickups selected, and I haven't found any need to do much tweaking with the knobs other than just to see what it can do. However, if you want variety in one package with an ability to get close to P-Bass, Jazz Bass, and Stingray tones all from the same bass, this is your instrument.) For me the top considerations in a bass are comfort, sound, construction quality, appearance, and finishing touches. This bass receives high marks in all categories. It's not what I would consider inexpensive, but it is a superb value. When you compare buying this $800 bass to buying something less expensive, realize that you will likely upgrade to a bass of this quality eventually. It is actually cheaper to purchase a quality instrument such as this in the beginning. Highly recommended.

Musical Background:

30+ years playing bass in a variety of settings.

Musical Style:

Blues, Classic Rock, 80s Metal, Pop, Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Fingerstyle Funk, etc. ...
