Up for sale is a like new ESP/LTD Surveyor 405 5-string bass. I bought this bass new in August '09. The plastic is still on the control/battery covers. It plays and sounds great, but I am moving away from 5 bangers. The only real flaw of this bass is that it is very long with the 5 in-line headstock, but that is a design/manufacturing issue.
It is strung with the factory SIT nickels, but I don't kill strings, so they still sound new. Has a very nice B string and balances great seated or on a strap.
These have been discontinued and replaced with the ESP/LTD Surveyor 415 series which are exactly the same but have a 1 in the model name. These sold new for $850 on MF, the 415's are $730 on MF, both without cases.
Specs are:
# Swamp Ash body, light weight. Between 8-9lbs.
# Bolt-on maple neck
# Maple fingerboard
# 21 XJ frets
# EMG MMTW-5 (Bridge) / 40P5 (Neck) Active Pickups
# LTD Vintage Style tuners
# Chrome hardware
# Volume and Balance controls
# B-30 Rev-S 3-band EQ with Mini Switch coil tap (bridge pickup)
# Wilkinson licensed WBBC-5 bridge w/19mm string spacing
# 34" scale
# 45mm/1.77" nut width
# U neck countour
