VicMacKey Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hi All, I have to let this go to raise some money, so it is for sale only : Made in Japan ESP Navigator N-JB-400-LTD, circa 2009 coming with Navigator case & factory paperwork. Navigators are high-end basses from ESP Custom Shop : Woods are carefully selected and finish is full nitro (quite fragile but makes the wood breathe). ESP people are hand crafting basses and are pushing the details further than the originals. More info [url="http://www.guitarsjapan.com/ESPinfopage.html"]http://www.guitarsja...SPinfopage.html[/url] This one is a 70s model, meaning : * Swamp Ash body, * 1 piece Maple neck with black blocks & binding, * Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups. ESP recently changed the name of this model but this one has exactly the same specs listed on their website [url="http://www.espguitars.co.jp/navigator/njbasm.html"]http://www.espguitar...tor/njbasm.html[/url] This bass sounds awesome, I mean, I was not a fan of full maple necks before, and despite this, this one is currently my main bass. Of course, it has the 70s JB sound you can expect from such instrument, due to 70s pickups position, but not only. Sound range is quite large, and this one allows me sounding right whatever the kind of music. It also can have a kind of PB sounding on the neck pickup. Low action makes playing really easy, and a beautiful growl appears while attack is stronger. Weight is 3,9kg. Just plug it and play. As shown in the attached pictures, this bass is in quite good condition, neck is straight with low action, and fully adjustable if required. There are 2 minor dings below the body as shown in pictures. As I said above nitro finish is really nice but fragile. Cover and case included are in good condition too. I own several high end basses and honestly this is one of the best basses i currently have. No trades, thanks. Price includes shipping in EU. Collection can be arranged in Paris area. Please find my feedback thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239404-feedback-for-vicmackey/"]http://basschat.co.u...-for-vicmackey/[/url] Thanks for looking.
