artisan Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 my new Esh Various 4 arrived at 8:30 this morning & it is bloody gorgeous,by far the best made bass I've ever owned,ordered from Bass Direct yesterday. The only problem is that I'm stuck at damn work so can't even play on it,not fair not fair,can't wait to get home a plug her in. here's a pic' (from Bass Direct's site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Think I tried it a few weeks ago, piezo only setting gives a very close, deep 'double bass' sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfish Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What made you choose Esh? Curious. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well I know I would choose ESH: They look awesome. Incredible build quality. I like the way that the body shapes can look outrageous, but they've kept the woods and colours fairly conservative. They sound incredible. ESH piezo circuit sounds like a DB. No-one else uses them. Ergonomically sound; no dive, nice and light, comfortable on the strap or sitting position. For a handmade bass, good value for money. To buy new, you need to go to Mark at Bassdirect. And he's awesome. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop [/quote] this sums it up perfectly what an awesome bass this is,the quality just blows me away it is the best £900.00 i ever spent,ok i didn't get a tool kit or gig bag with it (ex demo bass) but i don't really care about those as the bass is just mega. to answer Jellyfish's question - basically i am totally bored with Fender/EBMM etc & just want a bass that is so much more ......... if you know what i mean,my MTD KZ5 (in the sale section) taught me just how much more bass you can get for your money. I just love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfish Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well I didn't realise how cheap they were, seems like a mad price for something so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 i agree,the normal price should have been about £1500.00 or so but this being an ex demo bass it was a lot cheaper although there isn't a single mark on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing lead now and keep thinking I need so move some basses on but I'm loathed to move the move on the Esh because of the priezo sounds-so do I move on a Sandberg or my fretless-no no no can't decide.
