I got this bass because it just fits my personal style. I played a Spector, G&L and other active basses over the years and the tone of this one is as good if not better than any I've played. I have always thought that LTD guitars and basses are really well made and good value products. I worked in a music store where we sold ESP and LTD and I came to respect their line.This is not your daddy's P-bass or J-bass if you are looking for that low rumble this is not the bass for you. The pick-ups are bass lines and have a great tone to them. The active electronics are helped by the fact that you have a bass and treble knob which allows you to boost or cut them.The weight is also very light for a bass guitar. I purchased the amber color which for some reason was only $869.00 with the case. The top is a quilted maple and really beautiful. Overall everything about this bass is top shelf and the best part it is actually made in Japan at the ESP factory. I received mine on a Wed. took it out of the case tuned it to pitch and went out Sat. and played 2 gigs with it and haven't had to adjust anything to it since.Great bass,beautiful color and top,great tone,features with a case and made in Japan is there anything more to say.
