zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "After spending a year with the LTD B-50, the verdict is: very satisfied."

Sound: This was the first instrument I've ever owned, aside from playing relatives and friends various guitars and pianos, and from what I've seen this has a very solid, whole sound. Incredibly good for the price, but even setting that aside it has a terrific sound all by itself. Feature: The entire guitar feels very solidly put together, and with high quality materials. My only gripe is that one of the knobs has gotten a little bit loose after a year of constant use. Even then, it's perfectly usable. Compared to basses priced even four times as much, this bass feels very quality. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Maybe a tad on the heavy side compared to some others, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. An excellent bass for beginners to experts. Quality: I bought this for my beginner's bass, and probably do 1,001 things that you *SHOULDN'T* do to your bass, and it's taken everything in stride. It's even survived a move from Seattle to New York in it's cardboard shipping box and didn't even need a tune when it arrived. Very solid. Value: I'd say this is the best bass guitar you can buy in it's price range. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to contact anyone regarding problems or complaints because there haven't been any! The Wow Factor: I wish ESP would offer the B50 in a few more colors, although the glossy black I ordered it in isn't ugly in the least. Not the most aesthetically pleasing bass, but definately not ugly. All personal preference, but I'd say it's quite smexy. Overall: 100% satisfied with my purchase.

"A Diamond in the Rough"

Sound: I am just getting started in the bass world, but i have tried a lot of different basses and none sound as good as the B-50 Feature: No accessories. Still it has a nice amount of features I would say. The materials used are great. If I had to change anything i might change the pickups to EMG's but really i wouldn't change a damn thing. The ESP pickups on it are really awesome. Ease of Use: Very easy to use compared to a lot of basses I have tried. No learning curve, I'd say its great for a beginner and someone far more advance too. I certainly have no doubts about how far this bass can take me, the sky's the limit. Quality: I would say that this bass is made really well, the neck is bolted on, but you'd really have to like run it over with a car to wreck this thing. I totally depend upon this bass and I think it will last a long time. Value: Yes it is worth the price, you wont find a better guitar at a better price. Its worth more than I payed for it. The Wow Factor: Its very simple, with a really great edge to it, its not overdone, but just right. I looked at it and was like 'hey I want that one!' Overall: I expect to enjoy this guitar for a very long time. If I got another product it would be an ESP B-55 or one of their 5 string basses. I would say that compared to all of the other basses that I have tried, this one is simply the best bass ever. Its got a great feel, and wonderful sound and looks awesome. If something ever happened to it I would totally replace it, most likely with the same thing or the five string version. The two things I like most about this bass are the sound and the feel.
