SteveC Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I played that bass at our store. It's pretty darn nice. I'm keeping an eye out for a 2nd bass - I play a 5 but a 4 for "backup" might be nice - and it's not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I remember playing ESPs in a store 5-6 years ago and being dismayed at the (lack of) quality. About 2 years ago I played a number of different models, and they were all fine basses. Their neck-through basses are quite tempting. You listed the pickups as ESP, but I thought they were EMG? You have chosen wisely. Enjoy Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

Bottomgottem Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 That is quite a leap from a Deluxe Precision. Very nice! My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front.

WCriley Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Beautiful bass, Simus. I have owned an ESP LTD bolt-on for a few years. Carpedebass has one, also. My bass has EMG passive pickups and a preamp made by the Korean company that makes OEM stuff for EMG. I've noticed that the LTD basses are now advertised as having ESP pickups and preamps. I'm guessing they are variations of EMG's designs made in the same factory as EMG's OEM stuff. My only complaint with my LTD was that the battery only lasted 2 or 3 months. (capedebass had the same problem.) It seems the cheap output jack was letting current leak even with the bass unplugged. Replacing the jack seems to have cured the problem...haven't changed the battery in over 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
