Awesome -I do miss my ATK. Note that the listing says it was used right-handed by a previous owner, so I'd be on the lookout for an annoying strap screw hole in the lower horn..(edit - it's in the last picture- they were not working for me at first).

Bastard - Blasphemy! This ATK will never be worth thousands, but still, screwing up a small run of an iconic bass by drilling a hole in it... just sucks... still, it's now part of the provenance I guess... what are you gonna do?! :(

I’m with you on this Fivebass… like you said, never a big money earner, but a great working man’s bass, which seems to be getting scarcer in Lefty…

I currently have three... an Amber 4-string, a Dark Smoke 5-string (can't recall the actual name, although Jeroen would know...), and a Black Sparkle/right handed 5-string...

Sweet! Throw up a picture in the gallery!

That would be Transparent Black (or TK in short) :)
These were mine (and I had one more ATK300 in the same finish, all three made in Japan):

I don't own either of them anymore, my last ATK300 was sold years ago and I sold my ATK305 a few months ago. They are great basses and incredibly solid (which any pair of scales will happily confirm :lol: ) but I just don't get along with MM-type pickups anymore. I hadn't touched my 305 in years and it just sat there in my rack while I was only playing my Status Graphite 5-string and some of my 4-strings.

Jeroen came through with the ATK305 color, it's called Dark Smoke... and scroll to the bottom of this old post of mine, where I show all three basses, this was the day that the 305 finally arrived in the mail, and was put together... the Amber 300 was sold years ago to a forum member. I found another last year on Facebook Marketplace, being sold by a young marine... the odds of finding an ATK300 on a small Island are very low, and yet I did. So, I still have all three colors... here's the link -

Also, here's a link to the right handed Sparkle Bass, and the reason why I bought it. Pictures aren't the greatest, but the headstock pic show what the sparkle looks like. I've had right handers use it at jams, and it sounds really good, a touch mellower than my lefty 98...
