Atlansia Garland Passive — Rare Japanese Boutique Bass — Excellent Condition

Up for sale is my Atlansia Garland DX Passive, a hand-built Japanese boutique bass that rarely comes up used — especially outside Japan. In really nice, well-cared-for condition throughout.

Why this bass is special:
Atlansia is one of Japan's most respected small-shop builders, and the Garland is a showcase of that craftsmanship. It's fully passive, delivering a deep, woody, upright-adjacent tone with incredible clarity — the kind of organic low end players chase for years. The ebony fretboard is genuinely gorgeous — tight grain, jet black, and beautifully finished.

Neck note — please read:
This neck is THICK. In 25+ years of playing bass, this is the thickest neck profile I've ever played. If you prefer slim/fast necks, this is probably not the bass for you. If you love a substantial, full-hand neck, you're in for a treat. Just want buyers to know exactly what they're getting.

Specs from vendor's site:

Ash body (wood aged 12+ years before build)
Canadian hard rock maple neck, bolt-on
Ebony fingerboard, conical/compound radius (50–100R) for effortless low action
34" scale, jumbo SBB-215 frets, side-only dot markers
Atlansia original ARCX4 passive pickup
Atlansia original tailpiece + signature Hi-Posi cutaway for upper fret access
Gold hardware, Gotoh tuners w/ roller tensioner
Tool-free adjustable screw nut
Screw-type bridge
1 Volume, 1 Tone

Condition:
Used but excellent — no structural issues, plays and sounds exactly as it should. Happy to answer questions or send additional photos.
