Feature:
Not much to it. But it's a bass for god's sake. You don't need much. The knobs are quality and look cool. The tuners are nice and tight. The bridge is quality. Good deal.
Quality:
The bass is BEAUITFUL! It looks like a much more expensive bass. It's sexy as heck and the finish is perfect. I couldn't be happier with the looks of this bass!
Value:
I would say that the 2 bills that I paid for this was totally worth it. I am tempted to buy another just to have in the closet to give away at a show or something. I play with more expensive gear, and have been disappointed many times....NOT with this one.
Desirability:
I can't wait to play this in front of women! It's sexy, sleek and very very cool. Much cooler than a woodgrain bass or some plain black thing....
I HATE the look of Fender basses---I think they look cheap (unless it's Sting's '59) so this thing is a nice change. It's great!
Sound:
Just got this out of the box a few hours ago. I plugged it in, gave it a quick tune and have been playing non-stop for the whole time. It sounds GREAT. Not as deep and thumpy as my stilleto, but it sounds very comparable to my Ibanez srx500---Good tone. I did have to adjust the bridge slightly, but that's no biggie. It took two minutes. The strings are ok. I will jam some DRs on there and we'll be fine. I bought it because I had heard so many good things about ESPs and wanted to see how their under $200 models compared to Ibanez before I invested more. I will probably use this one for a few weeks and see how it goes....but I gotta say, it sounds great!
Ease of Use:
Do you know how to play the bass? This is a breeze. Is this your first bass? I would say that you can learn on this nicely. The neck isn't too wide. The bass feels stout but not crazy heavy. It's got good balance (unlike an Ibanez which always feels neck heavy). I have killer expensive straps so I can't tell you how it would feel with a cheap strap, but it's pretty comfy.
Support:
Haven't had to deal with them
Overall:
I am sure I will be buying another ESP in the future. Afterall, one can't have too many basses right?

"The best value for a first bass"
Feature:
Not much to it, just some basic tone controls
Quality:
The volume knob was loose when I got it at first, but otherwise its been fine.
Value:
The BEST bass to start out with, or a great back up bass for more experienced players.
Desirability:
Everybody's so used to seeing the typical fender/squier bass shape, so this really stands out. I've gotten a ton of comments about how it looks expensive, and I also have the titanium color, which looks weird at first,but with stage lights it reflects a buncha different colors it looks great.
Sound:
Really great sound for such a low price. Sounds great in the studio as well.
Ease of Use:
GREAT for any metal bassist. Feels tougher than other ones I've tried out, in my opinion its the best value your buck can get you.
Support:
Never had to deal with them.
Overall:
I plan on keeping this one for quite some time.
