The ATK1200 is an ATK series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2011. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the Prestige range.

The ATK1200 features an asymmetric double-cutaway ash body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers. Components include Ibanez CAP passive pickups with a double humbucker mounted in the bridge plate and a Sonic Arch single-coil mounted in a clear plastic pickguard, an Ibanez ATK N3 preamp with 3-band EQ powered by a 9V battery, an ATK4 bridge with 19mm string spacing, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut and Ibanez open gear tuning machines.
