ESP LTD F255 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
EMG HZ pickups. Three-band active EQ.

Stand apart from the crowd!
As unconventional as this new ESP bass looks, it's built with high quality woods and EMG HZ pickups with 3-band active EQ, just like some of the best basses in the world. The radical body angles and deep cutaway provide the look and playability of a truly extreme instrument. Features include an upgraded 5-piece maple/walnut neck, an agathis body, 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, double-action truss rod, and a deluxe string-thru body bridge.

5-piece Maple/Walnut Neck
This neck design provides a very solid feel and an improved transfer of tone from the neck to the body. Increased neck stability and performance will man less frequent truss rod adjustments

35 in. Long Scale Bass
The increased scale length provides tighter overall tension and improved performance, resulting in better response, especially from the lower strings. 5-string aficionados and those using dropped-tunings will find this feature a must-have.

Double Action Truss Rods
All ESP/LTD guitars and basses feature a 'double-action' truss rod design. Unlike a normal (single) truss rod, this one is adjustable in two different directions. This means that you'll never run into a situation where the neck has 'run out of adjustment'. Regardless of which ESP model you choose, you'll get years and years of playing enjoyment.

EMG-HZ Pickups
Each EMG-HZ bass pickup is created for its unique sound quality and includes features from over 25 years of EMG's design experience. Players all over the world read more agree that EMG is the leading authority in pickup technology. EMG-HZ: advancing the art of the passive pickup. read less
