ESP Ltd RB signature bass...Rocco's latest squeeze.

[Scott S]

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.

Interestingly positioned bridge pup, there!

There's something about it that makes me want to dislike it but I find myself liking it.... I'm confused

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.

Can't tell if it looks really classy or just tacky...

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!

Yep, already there, mate, but before I can indulge myself I'm going to have to off-load my 2012 US P-bass 5-string. Oh, well, here we go again!

That bass is so wrong that it might be right.

Scott_S, are you the Matrix?

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:

Nah, mate, I've never been an employee of Merseyside Police nor involved in gun crime
