The ATK1205 is a five string 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 ATK1205 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 ATK5 bridge with 18mm string spacing, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut and Ibanez open gear tuning machines.

For 2015 the preamp was changed to the Ibanez BEQ3 with 3-band EQ.

The ATK1200 is a four string version.

The ATK1205 was discontinued after 2015.
