F/S F/T ESP M-IV (Not LTD!)

Sign in to disble this ad
ESP M-IV, late 80's-early 90's. The bass has a very thin but more P-style profile neck,very nice rosewood fret board, Active P/J Seymour Duncan Vintage Pickups, ESP high mass bridge, all black hardware, comes with a road worn hard shell case, Just set up and has newer strings and battery. At some point I think the P/U were changed, if they were they were changed it was when when the bass was new. The P/U's are time correct with the bass. The bass has 1x Volume, 1x Tone, and 1x P/U selector switch (P only, P&J, J only) It has a very P bass feel to it- P-styled neck, P-styled body, and a very P bass sound. The bass does have some buckle rash and a few nick and dings, nothing bad through the paint, just a well played bass. Plus the bass is VERY light, only 7.5lbs on my bath room scale.

For those wondering about the little white switches on the pickups they are cut/boost switches for the highs/mids/lows. Only ones I've ever seen like it, sure makes it easier than taking the back cover plate off to adjust!

$400obo

I have one of these. They are pretty nice . From what I've been able to tell, they came with Duncans from factory. I threw EMGs at mine. One neat thing about these is ESP doesn't know if they were MIA or MIJ. At least, they didn't know a few years ago when I was inquiring about mine.
Here's a link to a pic of what I did to mine.

I not sure where this one was made too... It has top notch craftsmanship though. No markings to indicate birth place. Plays like butter, I'm just not a "P" bass player anymore.

Probably Japan. Late 80s saw the introduction of "series" models (not custom, nor F*nd*r replicas) with active electronics like this one and my guess is that if you don't see any special mark indication that is an USA model (like Custom Shop or something), then it's Japanese made.

I have the trade offer I want for this bass, but need the cash a lot more than another bass at the moment. As of Saturday the bass will be gone on a trade, but I'll will do $400 SHIPPED IN THE CONUS until then. So get it while it's here!

this bass is crazy cool. looks alot like the one Eerie Von used to play with Samhain.
when all the kids start a best bass for metal thread this would rank hella high and ESPs feel incredible!

if i had the spare cash it would have been gone by now (BUMP)
