M#265 Custom -Matte White w/Matching Head-【4.66kg】

“Atelier Z” is one of Japan’s leading high-end bass brands. Since its founding in 1989, the brand has consistently adhered to a design philosophy centered on professional use, establishing a solid reputation for its exceptional playability and powerful sound that cuts through the mix on stage. It is an immensely popular brand that is highly regarded not only by top Japanese artists but also by musicians overseas.

This is the “M#265,” a 5-string model from the “M/Magnitude” series—the brand’s flagship line and the very heart of its lineup. It embodies the essence of Atelier Z’s design philosophy and is truly an instrument that symbolizes the brand.

The body is crafted from ash. Characterized by the clear, well-defined highs and tight lows unique to ash, it produces a tone with a solid core that retains its definition even within an ensemble. The neck and fingerboard are both made of maple—a combination of hardwoods that delivers a bright, quick-attacking response.

The back of the neck features a matte satin finish. This finish provides both a snug, secure grip and smooth position changes, ensuring a stress-free experience even during long performances or recording sessions.

It is equipped with the original JBZ-5 pickup. With its wide-range and powerful output characteristics, it ensures clear low-end definition and a strong, solid core. Combined with the substantial original bridge, it transmits every vibration of the strings to the body without loss, delivering tight, well-defined bass and a responsive attack.

Furthermore, this model is equipped with the “Spectrum Boost” preamp, which is based on the Bartolini XTCT but features custom wiring designed to enhance sound pressure. With the wide headroom and dynamic range characteristic of active pickups, you can shape your sound while maintaining a three-dimensional soundstage without the sound image becoming muddled, even when using the boost. A major appeal of this model is its ability to clearly express the nuances of different playing techniques—such as the sparkling high end during slapping, the rich midrange when fingerpicking, and the sharp attack when playing with a pick.

This shop-order model features a matte white matching head paired with black hardware, resulting in a clean, elegant look with beautiful contrast.

The Atelier Z M#245 pursues the highest standards in playability, sound, and appearance. Combining know-how honed in professional settings with the meticulous craftsmanship unique to Japanese manufacturing, this is a guitar we truly hope you’ll experience for yourself.

Please take this opportunity to consider it.
