You might notice something a little bit different the first time you set your eyes on the ESP LTD D-4 electric bass. If you don't see it, you'll definitely feel it: this bass guitar features a neck-through-body design that gives it a sturdy "one piece" feel. The five-piece maple/mahogany neck sits straight through the merbau body, offering a smooth and seamless transfer of sound as your fingers travel the silky rosewood fingerboard spanning 24 extra-jumbo frets. A pair of ESP SB-4 active humbuckers forge a clean and articulate sound, and three-band EQ controls let you craft your output's high, middle, and low frequencies.

Carved in a comfortable shape, the ESP LTD D4 bass features an asymmetrical double horn contour that gives your fingers easy access to those higher frets.

Five-Piece Maple/Mahogany Neck

Combining maple and mahogany yields an interesting sound -- maple brings in a rounded brightness with a nice snap to it, and mahogany focuses on those low and middle frequencies. The Thin U shape is great for a hand that enjoys speedy runs, and the neck-through-body design provides a smooth transfer of sound and a sturdy feel. 24 XJ frets offer tight action and plenty of notes for your fingers… read more to enjoy.
