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.
