ATLANSIA STEALTH SP

[paulo]

It looks really unusual and cool, no description at all and crazy high price just like most of the basses in Japan now days...

Yeah, that was my bass when I used to play with the guys down at the Mos Eisley spaceport.

Man, that venue was gross, and it barely paid enough to make it worth our while. But, you do what you have to do to make a living.

They have some interesting stuff...

I like this Bass! But, A lot of scratches and dents... and this is supposed to be a New Bass! Still great design... I wonder how it sounds?

[fivebass52]

Well, you certainly can't say this company doesn't think out of the box! Check out these "groovy" designs.... http://atlansiaguitars.com/Bass-Guitar.php?type=bass

The adjustable screw nut is an interesting idea. I haven't noticed that on anything before.

Extremely cool looking basses.

Something that has always bothered me about tilted pickup designs....
I have found pretty consistently that D and G strings tend to, if they don't sound balanced with the other two, sound much thinner.
So a titled pickup that would appropriately compensate for that, would tilt the other way. Sense the string closer to the neck on the two high strings to get a bit beefier sound.
These tilted pickups, and others I've seen, would seem to make that problem worse.

Gotta admire the creativity of Atlansia.
These are built by hand by "H. Noble" (Nobuaki Hayashi) who was once responsible for the design of a.o. many iconic Matsumoku era Aria Pro basses like the SB series. The guy is a real tinkerer and inventor. Builds some crazy instruments and designs and builds his own power tools and equipement too! Much of the hardware on his basses is handmade too, like some downright crazy bridge designs! One of his latest ideas which he recently prototyped is the "Noble bar", a metal bar mounted behind the neck for more resonance and conductivity of vibrations. Because screw ergonomics, right?





Gotta love his Facebook posts too, completely ignorant to comments and in lovely Engrish.

ATLANSIA　" NOBLE BAR "

The effective bar for sound quality improvement
You can get more sustainable sound.
Good-by such as dead, short sound.
Hello long sustin and brilliant sound

It is easy to set this bar to the head and body back with 3 screws

If you use it,you may not need neck's reinforcement device or adjustment device.　Especially useful for those who do not like FAT NECK , like slim neck.

This is my one of the options. If you feel troublesome, do not use it.
By the way, I can not play the guitar.
This is a very ridiculous and funny thing ?. Please laugh at me.

I am confident that there are still many possibilities in the instrument called a guitar.The guitar is evolving without staying
Let's learn from the past, but never be bound by things of the past

My dreams for the guitar still continue.
Please expect . H.Noble from the far east with love.

And yet despite all this wacky customization, we STILL can't get a lefty headstock.

I dig these though. Very unique, singular design vision going on here.

My thought, too. Otherwise these are pretty cool.

Leo wasn't much of a shredder, either
