ESP LTD fretless

Does anyone have any experience with ESP fretless basses? I found this model priced quite reasonably, but found very little information on it online.

Curious if anyone has any info on this bass, or impressions about ESP basses in general. Cheers!

Don't know about that model but I like the LTD basses a lot. The thin U neck on them is really good. I have a Surveyor model with EMGs in and it plays and sounds great.

I'm a big fan of the ESP LTD basses, too. I have a couple C-304's, one of which I had professionally de-fretted and set-up as a fretless. It's a fantastic bass and the quality of the build is incredible considering how little it cost.

If the price is right, I'd go for it.

Good luck.

I don't know how the current production ESP basses are, quality-wise, but I have a couple of ESP fretless necks from the late 80s (when they were still making Fender copy replacement necks) that are just fantastic. I've had them both on various bodies over the years and it's unlikely I'll ever part with either one of them. Really top-notch stuff.
