Jonny Walker Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 This is a Jap ESP Viper Bass in see-thru black [neck-thru], 3 piece Mahogany neck and mahogany wings, EMG Jazz in the neck and a EMG 35DC in the bridge, GOTOH pegs and a GOTOH Willkinson bridge, it was sent to SIMS to fit 20 front and face red L.E.D.'s and a custom mother of pearl 12th fret inlay [ESP]. i use standard gauge Elixir strings apart from the 135 i use to drop down to a low b without putting any strain on the neck. This is my first post so i hope everything comes out right... anyhow any opinions on my bass would be appreciated as it is extremely hard to find any information about ESP [not ltd] viper basses on the internet. Thanks very much, Jonny Walker.

EdwardHimself Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i really like these basses, it's just a shame that they don't make 5 string versions of this or the eclipse bass otherwise i would have snapped it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Can't comment on the basses (although it looks nice!) but Captain Sensible raves about the six-string version on his bit of The Damned's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a highly under rated guitarist too. I believe Stu, their bass player is using ESP too now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass chat seems like a very freindly place. Edited December 30, 2007 by Jonny Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
