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.

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

Features
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… read more
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!'
