ESP F205 5-String Bass Guitar

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 this is truly an extreme instrument. As a 5-string version of the F-204, it's features are identical with a slightly wider neck to accommodate comfortable the 5-string spacing. Features include a Mahogany body, a Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, deluxe bridge and 24 extra jumbo frets. Learn More...

Feature:
I didnt Actually Buy my F205 from here so I dont know if there would be a difference, but mine came with an ESP deluxe hardshell case which is awesome and very rugged so far.

Quality:
I've had this bass for over 2 years and it has not failed me yet. My only problem with it is the body is soft (keeping it light-good thing) and it dings relatively easy.

Value:
Definately worth every penny i paid for it. I would buy again if I had to replace it.

Desirability:
Mean looking and sounding, I love the design. The design is what originally made me want to buy it. Not only that but with the nice looking EMG-hz pickups and Active electronics make this a bass to be desired.

Sound:
The Sound is great for the kind of band I play in. We'll go from playing Megadeth Holy Wars to a blues jam in "A". Just make quick adjustments and your ready to rock. What I like about it is the separate volume controls for each of the two pickups so you can get a higher gain sound from the bridge or a slightly warmer sound from the neck.... both together Sound good to.

Support:
Never needed any service except for the usual adjustments, new strings, etc....

Overall:
I pretty much explained my most satisfied points throughout this review, but I will never get rid of this bass. My next bass will either be a backup 5 string for road purposes and/or a 6 string for the extra versatility, but this bass will always be in the main lineup.
