"Bass so hot, the amber sunburst is hotter than the real sun."

Feature:
For the price it has excellent features. One that a 700$ would have.

Quality:
it has teh quality of a bass that costs 1000$. I'm not just saying that. I told my band to try out Esp instruments.

Value:
the value is so good, i had to tell everyone about it.

Desirability:
this bass is beautiful, especially in amber sunburst. It makes your mouth water.

Sound:
The pickups are excellent, for any kind of music that you want to play. The sond can be easily changed but it has a smooth, clean sound. This notes don't make a fuzz or slap sound every pluck.

Ease of Use:
the neck slides easily. It allows you to shift up and down very smoothly and quickly!

Support:
i was on hold for about 30 minutes. But, when they answered the phone, they were very informitive and helpful.

Overall:
i expect to be satisfied for as long as i have it.

"Great!"

Feature:
This bass for only $449.99 i thought was priced wrong, not only did it have a neck thru body but it also had a 3 band onboard EQ i plugged it into an ampeg and played for about 20 minutes the verdict was in that this bass crushed other basses for under $500.00 if you havent played it play it! if you havent bought it BUY IT!

Quality:
One of the fastest set neck i have ever played the heal of the neck is very smooth, i rarely go up there but if i do i will be pretty comfortable this is one of the best quality intrsuments i have played in this price range it stands right next to my Epiphone Thunderbird IV which sells for around $400.00 or so it really is great

Value:
for under $500 it is outstanding it plays like som thing double its cost and gives you a great look!

Desirability:
when i first spotted it i wanted to play it and liked it right off the bat

Sound:
Great sound, sounds good playing anything from metal to jazz it is really a great bass for any kinda of music the emg pcikups have a helping hand in this as well! I use this bass with an SVT classic Sansamp Pre Amp and an 8X10 Classic and it sounds killer

Ease of Use:
Well its a bass if you dont know how to use it please for everyones sake dont, as for molding your own sound it is simple the 3 EQ knows (hi mid lo) are great and are very noticable while tweaking the different frequencies unlike some you can have at +10 then take it to -10 and not notice the slightest change!

Support:
the first time i called (this was about a friends guitar) they put me on hold for about 20 minutes so i just hung up and called back when i called back they answered my question right there no hold or anything, they have a good support line easy to deal with

Overall:
Great bass try one out they really are amazing!

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Now ESP delivers amazing affordability in a neck-thru, flame top bass with EMG active EQ. You can even choose to string thru the body or thru the top for the perfect feel and attack. The specially contoured body is very comfortable and provides a solid foundation for tone. Precision 3-band active EQ gives you the ultimate in onboard control and tone shaping. Rock solid construction includes a 5-piece maple/walnut neck, an agathis body, a rosewood fingerboard with 24 easy playing XJ frets, and Cosmo Black hardware.

String-Thru Bass Bridge
Whether you want to increase overall string tension or just "beef up" your string attack, the string-thru option is a big plus. This bridge can be used in either "string-thru-body" or traditional "string from the top" configurations".

5-piece Maple/Walnut Neck
This neck design provides a very solid feel and an improved transfer of tone from the neck to the body. Increased neck stability and performance will man less frequent truss rod adjustments

Double Action Truss Rods
All ESP/LTD guitars and basses feature a 'double-action' truss rod design. Unlike a normal (single) truss rod, this one is adjustable in two different directions. This means that you'll never run into a situation where the neck has 'run out of adjustment'. Regardless of which ESP model you choose, you'll get years and years of playing enjoyment.

EMG-HZ Pickups
Each EMG-HZ bass pickup is created for its unique sound quality and includes features from over 25 years of EMG's design experience. Players all over the world agree that EMG is the leading authority in pickup technology. EMG-HZ: advancing the art of the passive pickup.
