The M#245, a super standard model from our atelier, is now available as a custom-ordered model from our store! With all the parts unified in black, and combined with the translucent, wood-grained see-through blue body, this guitar boasts a cool contrast between gloss and matte finishes! ATELIER Z enjoys immense popularity among bassists, both professional and amateur, especially those who are dedicated to slap bass techniques. The M (Magunitude) #245 was originally released as a signature model for Tomohito Aoki, but it is now used by countless musicians, both professional and amateur, and is considered a standard model and a flagship model of ATELIER Z. The combination of an ash body and maple fingerboard delivers a clear, punchy tone with tight bass. The control system includes one volume, pickup balancer, master tone, and a 2-band EQ with treble/bass boost. Opening the back panel reveals a Mid-CUT trim, allowing for a wide range of adjustments to your preferred settings. The treble/bass controls have a click stop at 50% to indicate the preamp boost level, making it easy to adjust to your liking. This unit features a wiring configuration called Spectrum Boost, which increases sound pressure and allows for an even wider range of sound shaping. This model boasts reliable quality and materials that can keep pace with the wide range of high-end amplifiers. With its excellent responsiveness, allowing the sound to project smoothly even when played effortlessly, and its combination of clarity and a wild side, this guitar can handle a variety of playing styles, from thick fingerstyle tones and explosive slap sounds to the attack of pick playing, making it suitable for any genre. If you’re looking for a ready-to-use active model, this is it!
