No matter what Im trying to play.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Its been mine since new and used for gigs and recording. Never had any issues finding my sounds with this.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Specs from the ESP site are as follows:[/font][/size][/font][/color][list] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Bolt-on neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]34" scale[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Maple Neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Ebony fingerboard[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Swamp ash body[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Standard 45mm nut[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Dot inlays[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]21 XJ frets[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Chrome hardware[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]ESP-LTD Vintage tuners[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Wilkinson licensed WBBC-5 bridge[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]EMG MMTW-5 pickup on the bridge[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]40P5 active pickup at neck[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Volume, Balance controls[/font][/size] [*][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]3-band EQ[/font][/size] [/list] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]A few notes on this.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The first is the low B tuner has had the shaft replaced after a knock. no impact on the basses playability however the peg is now a tad bigger than it should be so in a straight line the B and E pegs overlap by about 1mm. Its never been an issue for me though since its rare that ever happens.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Second is a small crack in the paint at the 2 lower knobs, again never an issue and seems to be common with this bass.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]and finally the usual wear, a couple of minor scratches on the back but nothing to hinder anyones playing and nothing more than what you expect on a second hand bass.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]In my view its a great bass and suited me perfectly. Sad to see it go but its a must unfortunately.[/font][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Looking for £250, would much rather collection as I only have a basic gig bag for it at this point (thats probably too small) but will happily consider posting or delivery to major [/font][/size][/font][/color][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#282828][size=3]cites [/size][/color][/font] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2012/post-377-0-62040200-1341655791.jpg"][/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2012/post-377-0-43326100-1341655760.jpg"][/url] Edited September 5, 2013 by Archetype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
