Members GRANKOR Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 the atk is way nicer, ash body, better switching and electronics, really nice fat neck. I played one last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 The ATK is an excellent series all around. Even the low-end stuff is well-made and has good electronics and hardware. I prefer them over OLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 No BOALG option? How long have you been here? ATK by a mile. It's a better bass in every respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yeah... that's basically asking if you'd rather have an SX or an MIM fender. The ATK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 what's the budget ? I could probably afford an ATK. Not sure though.... I'll have to give one more time to see if I like the neck or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g.ghost Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 This is a joke poll right? Anything and I mean ANYTHING is better than OLP. They are the #1 POS in the world at any price!I have been there, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 This is a joke poll right? Anything and I mean ANYTHING is better than OLP. They are the #1 POS in the world at any price! I have been there, I know. I played one today and it didn't seem so bad. Yeah, I know the ATK is the obvious choice, but when the OLP is half the price? I could have an OLP and a new fretless for one ATK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brother Mango Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 The OLP is so cheap.... I think there's something else that's holding you back from making a decision. I wonder if you're really wanting the ATK and can't let yourself spend the money? What would YOU say is the source of your dilemma? Based on the previous comments and a little research, I get the sense that you get an all-around better bass witht he ATK. But why are the 2 in the same hopper? When I was shopping for a cab, I was torn between Ampeg and Aguilar. Ampeg was in my budget. Aguilar sounded so much better and was 2x my budget. I spent the money, got the Aguilar and am VERY happy with it. Basses? I own an Alembic Epic and it's in a closet at my sisters' home. I've been playing my OLP and my Frankenstein Ibanez DIY bass. I doubt I'll ever spend more than $300 on a bass again. I want a functioning bass that I can put stickers on, cut holes into, and beat up. No Warwicks or Laklands for me. How are YOU thinking about your 2 options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the money. What will you REALLY get for the extra money? Look at the opportunity costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
