Manufacturer's Description for ESP C305 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

ESP guitars and bass guitars. Used by some of today's top alternative artists. Get one today and you'll hear, see, and feel why.

35 in. Long Scale Neck
ESP has decided to increase the scale length on the F Series and the new C Series basses to provide a tighter overall tension and improved performance. This will result in better response from all strings, especially in the low "B" string and 5-string models. If you tune below standard pitch, this feature will enable you to achieve the tension you want without using heavier strings.

5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck
All of ESP's 200 and 300 Series basses come standard with a 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck design. This provides a very solid feel and an improved transfer of tone from neck to body. Increased neck stability and performance will mean less truss rod adjustments over time.

40-HZ-EP Pickups
These 5-string soapbar humbuckers with pole pieces are designed to be used with the B-30EQ active EQ. They feature 4-conductor wiring and a ceramic/steel magnet for more punch and a high output. zZounds is an authorized dealer of ESP products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Very Nice Bass For the Money."

Sound: The C-305 has a great sound. The high EQ is a little noisy when turned all the way up. The Bass and Mid are very quite. I am going to have to consult with EMG about this matter, not sure if this is a normal thing or just on the bass I got. EMG suggest that you beef up the power by adding another battery in series to 18 volts (easy to do). I did this and it made a big difference in the clarity of the bass. Feature: The b-64 eq system with low, mid and high works great for slaping and popping the style. Quality: The quallity of the C-305 is very good. Mine had one little minor flaw , but for the price I paid I can't complain. Value: The bass is worth what I paid for it at closeout price. The Wow Factor: The C-305 bass looks very nice . The body is small and the neck (35 inch) feels about the same as my other 34 inch bass neck. Overall: I am very satisfied with this product. I would buy another C-305 or ESP bass different style in the future. Once again the bass feels good in your hands.

Style of Music: Rock, Funk, Smooth Jazz
