Lord Sausage Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi, Probably gonna buy one of these of Thomann next week. Anyone know anything about them. unfortunately no sound samples on Thomann and can't find owt on Youtube. If i don't like i will send it back but any info before i buy would be handy. Here's the link http://www.thomann.de/gb/esp_ltd_b205sm_fl_natural_satin.htm Quote
BassBus Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'm tempted by the four string fretless, but do I need any more basses. Of course I do.

Lord Sausage Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Nice one. Thanks for that. It's kind of for the same reasons as one of the early posts in that thread. I have a fretless, but i love it to much and only use it on special occascions (nerd). I want one for everyday use. This looks like it will fit the bill! Quote
BassBus Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like if you buy one. Quote
Mykesbass Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I used to be an ESP stockist when I had a guitar shop and I always found their cheaper range (the 200 series) some of the best guitars in that price range, a little bit different in design and very well manufactured. Funnily enough it was upper models of the LTD range (400 mainly) that I had some issues with, but this one should be a fabulous bass. Looking forward to a review and pics!! Quote

Jimryan Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Didn't Merlin sell a 6 String Version a while back? If so, he could probably give you a rough idea on them. Quote
merlin Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Hi still got the six,could not bring myself to sell her,but got Gas, brought the five fretless,I now use this as main bass. The bass is real easy to play fast neck nice string spacing,well fits my porky fingers,the B is good no nasty suprises here no volume or tone drop out,like on other 5s,mine was playable out the box. The Esp pups work well the tone controls are ok,not as good as the 6,not sure why?but all the tones are there, and as with the 6 the finish is spot on.If your brave theres a youtube of said bass,I was just starting the solo when the pratt turned off the camara,claiming battery death,best of luck with your quest. .the YT link top one down below M.

merlin Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Well my Lord it is a short reveiw of sorts,a humble one and very short,I have had Warwick 5s and 6s and other top end basses,this one does the job as well as these.Now awaiting your sound clips, Cheers M. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Right! just ordered it off Thomann. I'll let you know stuff when it comes. Quote
