ESP LTD B154FM Electric Bass

No longer available at zZounds
ESP SB-4 pickups. Bolt-on neck. Jumbo frets.

Think you've seen it all? Well, you've probably never seen a flame-top bass for under $300! Leave it to ESP to deliver. The B154 and B155 basses are another example of tremendous value. Play one and you'll discover tremendous quality, tone, playability and feel. Features include an agathis body with that stunning flamed maple top; two ESP SB-series pickups; a new ESP ABQ-2 active 2-band EQ with improved range and definition; a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and 24 XJ frets; and black hardware.

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.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I tried several moderately priced basses before buying this one. It will last me for as long as I keep playing. If it was lost or stolen I would buy the same one again.
Sound
I just sold a Carvin BB 75 Bass I have had since 1995 and this B154 has just as good a sound!! I play jazz and want a full sound thru the full scale of the instrument, this has it in Spades!!
Features
Nice fast neck and well adjusted from the factory, intonation was set perfect.
Ease of Use
It took no time to set up the sounds I was looking for. I put a new set of Rotosound stings to replace the ones from the factory.
Quality
For this money it is fantastic!!
Value
The best buy around for the price!
The Wow Factor
