"GREAT ESP 5-STRING"

Feature:
i feel the selection of components was very good and made for a great bass. The most useful features are the volume and tone knobs. this bass has everything i wanted.

Quality:
the finish on this guitar was flawless, no loose parts. this bass is very reliable. i depend on this for all my music needs. i dont keep a back up because i dont need one with this bass. this bass seems like it will last me forever.

Value:
this bass was worth every penny i spent.

Desirability:
ive shown this to a couple friends and they were blown away by everything. this is much more than a practical addition to my setup.

Overall:
this is an awsome bass in all aspects. i will keep this bass for as long as it lasts.

"Great Bass not only for its price but also those going for a about 400 to 450."

Feature:
Two minor. Second Tone control and Pick guard.

Quality:
Shokingly get a 10 easy. Great stiff neck, no string buzz even with cheap (IMO)strings and very nice Passive pcikups.

Value:
So far I feel I got a great deal.

Sound:
A: Sounds great considering it has passive Pickup, but they are very good. The Bass makes the best of what it has to offer and fits my needs pretty well. I almost didn't buy it because I like tone controls on both pickups. I also thought about 35" scale over 34". After playing it almost 3 days straight over the weekend, that wasn't a problem at all. Responds well and I'd not trade it for some Basses I've tried that cost twice as much.

Ease of Use:
Great action for me! Finger board is the perfect size.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Would give a 9.5 if I could.
