Overview
While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid '80s when ESP guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. The LTD '87 Series are faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP's 1987 catalog. With the LTD Surveryor '87, the coveted ESP Surveyor shape is making a well-deserved return to the spotlight. A classic bolt-on design at 34" scale, the Surveyor '87 has an alder body with maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. It also features top-tier components including a Gotoh 201-B4 bridge and a Seymour Duncan Vintage P / Vintage Jazz pickup set.

"Fantastic Bass"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
First and foremost; the stock photos of the white do not do it justice. There’s a slight iridescence to it, and it’s guaranteed to look even better under stage lighting. It’s got a nice weight to it: not too heavy and not too light. It feels sturdy without being back-breaking. Playability out of the box was pretty good. I lowered the action a hair at the bridge and it now plays beautifully. The fretwork is impeccable and the neck is comfortable. I’m usually not a thin neck kind of guy, but this one is very easy on the hands. The Seymour Duncan pickups are wildly versatile. The P pickup is a bit on the dark side, but it packs a massive punch. The J pickup is bright and articulate without being harsh. Blending the two is probably the best of the PJ sets I’ve heard. Normally they kind get wimpy sounding... but here, no. You get the articulation of the J and the power of the P. Just what you’d want!Fit and finish is fantastic. The tuners, like another reviewer posted, can leave a little to be desired... they’re kind of flimsy, which for a $900 bass is kind of disappointing. That being said, mine hasn’t exhibited any issues as far as stability goes or anything like that. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
