tomlee06 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Lovely bass and first off let me say how sorry I am for the poor quality photos. Gigged regularly but kept in a hard case, this thing is my baby and I've taken care of her! =D Some very little dings on the body and usual scratching on the back from my belt, but all in all, great condition. I'm looking for around [b]£400[/b] for it to put towards some new gear. I'm not all too keen on getting rid of her but needs must and all that Jazz. I bought it for a heavy band that I used to play in, but that went tits up and now I'm playing in a band that I have no need for the 5 strings with. Oh, and I will replace the strap on the bass, I lost mine =P The strings are not new, but I mite be persuaded to re-string it if it makes the difference between someone buying it or not! As far as swaps go, I'd take a Bass POD (rack) + Money, or a B3K Darkglass pedal + Money. Or guitar swaps, I'd like a P-bass style, really got my eye on the LTD vintage 204's + Money too. But I'm open to offers I'm based in Sheffield. Would prefer pick-up, or I wouldn't mind meeting half way for a little bit of petrol money.

tomlee06 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Bumping again cos this forum moves so fast!
wookie Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 A truly execeptional guy to deal with! I bought his Sansamp BDDI from him and the whole experience was top class from start to finish! So...have a bump on me Tom!! Cheers

Kongo Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Yet another LTD on here that seems to have...well no interest. Why, I wonder? These have to be some of the best built basses for your money, by far better built than both Yamaha and Ibanez. Forget "stigma" you don't need to play metal to play an LTD...just look at that finish!
tomlee06 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Couldn't have said it better myself. I was so close to buying an Ibanez till I saw this, bought it mainly on the looks, but I was astonished at the spec for the price! Through neck, ebony fingerboard and I was told the esp pick-ups sound top notch, which they do! It's been my favourite bass since I got it! Cheers for the bump Kongo
MarkWJenkins Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Fair play, these basses are stunning to play, the pickups really sing! If I'd seen this before today, I'd have made an offer instead of buying another P bass!
tomlee06 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 Another bump. Open to offers as always.
tomlee06 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Accepting offers if you think it's too pricey guys
lankyman20000 Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 I would love to go for this but i have no way of getting to you (In Cardiff and no car haha), plus i'm hoping that someone decides they don't want a LTD F-5E , i can't beleive how many good ESP's arn't being sold!

[/quote] Stigma, I believe. If they became known as the in bass for Funk or Jazz I'm sure they'd sell by the bucket. But, they are known as being played by scary metal heads so... X-D Hands off the F-series though, those are MINE! >:-D Edited October 14, 2012 by Kongo
tomlee06 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 Haha, well, I can always cut out some dints in it to make it look like the F-5E Also, if it means selling, I wouldn't mind organising a courier.
lankyman20000 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Just pm'ed you man! And don't cut it as much as i'd love an F5 i'd feel terrible if you destoryed something that beautifl haha
Urban Bassman Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Sadley there seems to be no love for ESP Ltd basses. My B-1004 has been up for sale for a while and no nibbles at all So it's now on ebay. Good luck with yours though - have a bump!
tomlee06 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Haha, yeah there's someone out there who likes good basses ... =D
