I'm selling my
[b]ESP Navigator Espionage Precision Bass[/b]


Navigators are high-end basses made by ESP Custom Shop
Infos about Navigators here: [url="http://www.guitarsjapan.com/ESPinfopage.html"]http://www.guitarsja...SPinfopage.html[/url]

This particular model is probably from the 80s (hard to tell, there's no serial number) and is very rare in Europe (I imported it from Japan)

Great quality, hand-crafted bass, very light (3,9kg) and resonant.
Just received a fret job by a professional luthier and plays really great with low action.

Everything original except:
I replaced all the potentiometers with new CTS ones, new input socket too. (I still have the original parts)
At the moment it comes with Gotoh Res-o-lite tuners, very light. Upon request I could put the original tuners back on (which would be reflected in a lower price).
Not sure whether the pickguard is original.

Good condition except a for few nicks.
The holes for a (potential) bridge cover were made by the previous owner, not very nicely though in my opinion. Little crack in the pickguard (see pictures).

I would love to keep this but have another bass on the way which needs to be paid....

PS: It comes with the standard silver knobs, not the black ones pictured in some of the photos
