Overview

With the LTD AP-5, ESP started with a traditionally-styled body, but then took things in a new, high-performance direction that only ESP can offer. Designed to be a 5-string bass that blows away the expectations of players of any musical style, from metal to punk, reggae to funk, the AP-5 has the great playing feel and the professional components that make it a winner by any definition. It begins with a classic bolt-on design, with an alder body and smooth, thin U-shaped maple neck at 34" scale. For an excellent variety of tone, the AP-5 offers a set of active EMG P5 and LJ5 pickups, with a volume, balance, and tone control to dial in your sound quickly. It offers an ebony fingerboard with 21 extra-jumbo frets, reliable Grover tuners, and a Babicz FCH-5 bridge for terrific tone and sustain power.

This bass is worth every penny it looks great and plays even better I couldn’t have asked for a more well rounded bass it can give you the warm round sound for any funk or jazz you wanna play and that translates amazing for when you want to get into metal genres at almost $900 I wouldn’t recommend someone unsure of if they are going to be playing bass or not picking it up but if your already experienced and just looking for another tool to help create your sound this bass is just that it’s helped me find my sound out of all my basses this and my epi vintage pro are my 2 favorite and I’m leaning more to this baby it just has an amazing feel and you feel like you flow down the neck I hope this helps anyone sitting on fence about if they want one or not (the answer should be yes)
