herman Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi all, Could anyone help to identify this bass and what it's worth please? I bought it 2 years ago on a whim!! All I was told that it's a Grassroots ESP bass with an ebony fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Confusing! Body shape and head say ESP LTD but pickups, controls and bridge pieces are not like any ESP I have seen, and I own two of them. What does it say on the head? I wonder if it has had a new face put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herman Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi BassBus, All it says on headstock is Grassroots & on the back it says produced by ESP,it's such a powerful bass!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) according to google Grassroots is a Japan-only brand from ESP, with a more affordable price tag, the early ones were apparently made in japan, later ones in korea, [url="http://www.espguitars.co.jp/grassroots/"]http://www.espguitar....jp/grassroots/[/url] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Grassroots-Guitars-By-ESP-Grass-Roots-Information-/10000000016885119/g.html"]http://www.ebay.co.u...16885119/g.html[/url] [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP_Guitars"]https://en.wikipedia...iki/ESP_Guitars[/url] Matt Edited December 14, 2015 by Matt P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I remember seeing a load of Grassroots basses on Denmark St years ago, just before the LTDs started to appear. We're talking late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Here's the current line-up, nothing as nice looking as yours, but all around the £250 to £350 mark [url="http://www.espguitars.co.jp/grassroots/"]http://www.espguitars.co.jp/grassroots/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
