Scott S Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi, fellow Bass Chat peeps, Hmmm...the ESP Ltd Rocco Prestia model; I'm GAS'ing for this big time, especially the 5-string! I'm just wondering if any of you have had the chance to check it out and, if so, what are your thoughts with regards to sound and playability. Cheers.

charic Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There's something about it that makes me want to dislike it but I find myself liking it.... I'm confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Oh my! Rocco gets/endorses yet another signature product, him and Adam Clayton sure do get about sig kit wise. Rocco with a 5 stringer; that's new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Can't tell if it looks really classy or just tacky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Haha, yeah, Rocco not only with a 5-string but also with...drum roll....A SIX STRING!!! (to be fair it does come as a 4-string, and in some less "striking" finishes). Apparently, the bridge pup is so placed not to be specifically used on its' own but more to be conservatively blended with the neck pup. Confusing...? Perhaps...but the Manga Japan Bass Boy is far from confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teamcoy Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That bass is so wrong that it might be right. Scott_S, are you the Matrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ive reviewed the four string. It's really nice and the Aguilar pickups sound superb. You'll need to scroll through my posts here to find the magazine issue in which I covered the bass: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248043-doods-100-online-video-reviews/page__pid__2645016#entry2645016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
