Despite its 28.5" short scale, the B-4 Junior packs a massive wallop! Perfect for beginning bassists, this bass delivers full-size sound from its LDP pickup.

If you're looking for a bass with a shorter reach, check out the ESP LTD B-4 Junior electric bass. Full-sized bass guitars tend to have long necks, but this 3/4-sized axe's bolt-on neck stretches a full 24 frets long over a shorter scale length of only 28.5." An ESP Designed LDP passive pickup fitted inside a basswood body keeps your output warm and clean, and a maple neck cut into a Thin U contour readily awaits your hand with its slick rosewood fingerboard and close action. This bass is a nice companion for exploring an array of genres and playing styles -- a great stepping stone if you're looking to dip your fingers into playing bass, without committing to a more expensive axe.

Comfortable Reach

Bass scale lengths are usually around 34" -- which might not be ideal for all players. Your ESP LTD B-4 Junior electric bass takes things down a couple of notches. A shorter scale length results in a few key differences: a shorter neck, closer frets, and a looser string tension. This setup means your arm won't have to reach as far, and a looser string tension has a more relaxed feel to it. If you're new to bass, a shorter scale length might be right up your alley.

Warm Basswood Body

Your ESP LTD B-4 Junior electric bass features a warm and resonant basswood body. As a tonewood, basswood yields a well-balanced sound that works well for pretty much any genre or style. The asymmetrical double cutaway body sports a deep horn that allows you to reach your higher frets with read more ease.

Articulate ESP Designed LDP Passive Pickup

This bass keeps things nice and simple with its single ESP Designed LDP passive pickup. Each note achieves clear articulation clean or distorted without any buzz, hum, or low-end mud. Be sure to utilize your volume and tone control to get your output exactly where you want it.

Bolt-On Maple Neck

Maple necks bring a pleasant rounded brightness to your tone. Although this neck is slightly shorter than most bass guitars, it boasts a wide tonal spectrum of 24 frets. Each fret harnesses a comfortable action, and the rosewood fingerboard provides smooth playability for your fingers to enjoy. Compared to set necks, bolt-on joints tend to have more of a twang to them -- a nice bonus to help your signal cut through the mix.
