Pinball Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) [i]SOLD[/i] The Esh is back up for sale as I need more cash (don't seem to have enough these days ) To be honest I don't know much about it's history but I was told it was produced just before the company changed hands in the early 2000's. The controls and pup set up are unusual. It has 4 pots. One volume, one tone, one with several "[color=red][size=4]Esh[/size][/color]tronic" sound options and one with pickup combinations. With some of the pup combinations you get very little or no tone control due to the [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]preizo (hope I's spelling that right). The other settings use the "[color=red][size=4]Esh[/size][/color]tronic system" and vary the tone quite a lot. with passive/active/recording etc. There are a lot of variations.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The body finish is also interesting. It has a nice flame maple front but the edge has what I believe is a sandblasted finish so that the ash? wood grain stands out. Run you finger down the edge and it feels corrugated. Construction is good and solid.

[/quote] Yep certainly does, it's not just a looker. It's a serious bit of kit and a nice tactile instrument.
Mornats Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I've played this bass and it's lovely, really lovely. Got to admit to a bit of lust for it myself but I'm skint. It would easily replace both of my Tanglewaters hands down. It would easily replace my entire collection actually!

tommorichards Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 is the westone stock passive (in which case, just a simple westone thunder 1) or an active thats been neutered?
Pinball Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 It's passive, no battery space and de-fretted but well done imho. If you want pics send me your email and I'll send them
TRBboy Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Can't believe the Panther hasn't sold yet! Hope if goes soon so you can get whatever you're lusting after. A cliché I know, but if it was a 5er.....
Mornats Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Someone buy this please, I'm googling prices for selling kidneys...

I checked on ebay and the cheapest used Sandberg (ignoring Sandberg designed Corts and their starter range). I may have to resort to that. If I can get my £650 I'll be happy. Strangely since putting this up for sale because I wasn't playing bass I may be playing a bit of bass after all I still need to generate cash though so it has to go.
Pinball Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Thank-you, it is beautiful and since the original post I have started playing it again ...but I still have too many basses so it is still for sale. Edited July 18, 2013 by Pinball
