Details

Bought this from Guitar Center a few months back and I love it, but I'm going through a massive downsizing campaign and this and a few others are on the block for new homes.

Here's the listing from Musicians' Friend


If you're like me, and don't feel like clicking through, here are the specs:

  • Bolt-on alder neck
  • 34" scale
  • Maple neck
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • 42mm Bone nut
  • Dot inlays
  • 21 XJ frets
  • Chrome hardware
  • Gotoh tuners and bridge
  • Basslines SJB-2 bridge pickup
  • Basslines SPB-2 neck pickup
  • 2 volume controls
  • tone control
Simply put, it's everything you'd want in a PJ. I used to have it strung with some DR flats and it absolutely killed. Currently it wears a set of medium gauge D'Addario nickel rounds.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the distressed/relic'd look at first but the playability sold me on the bass and since then the finish has really grown on me. No worrying about that inevitable first ding, though I babied this one like I baby all my basses.

Ships in an appropriately worn hardshell case.

As far as trades go, here's what I'm looking for:
- cabs
- cabs
- and more cabs
- fretted 5s (particularly interested in a Fender P5 or an EBMM Stingray or Sterling 5)
- fretless 4s and 5s

I can add cash for the right deal.

I'm asking [DEL]$1000 [/DEL] $825 for an outright sale.

TRADE PENDING

Don't hesitate to hit me up with questions.

Thanks,
J.

Hawt dayum son. That's pretty. I've heard they sound very nice.

My one friend swears by ESP, and it would appear very good bang for the buck.

Unfortunately, I have foresworn Fender style and fretted basses for the moment, so good luck with your sale!

Still available. Not really crazy about shipping overseas but not 100% opposed to it either.

Still hoping for a trade for a fretted 5.

-thanks.

Man, as a long time ESP fan, I wish I had played this when I was over at your house. I've always wanted one of these. Justin is great guy to do business with everyone!

Went back to the DR flats on this baby after adding a Hipshot vintage bridge...bump for a Pino-licious bass that I suspect I'm just going to keep to myself:)

I have 2 nice never gigged matching Bag End cabs,,, S15-XD(tweeter version) and S15-D two awesome gigging cabs that are light and small yet sound big!
but I'm not into shipping and figured maybe theres a tincy wincy chance you'd be in the New England Area soon?

bumping for ya though..
 
I guess that American second-hand market of ESP is flooded by similar things around the 600-700 mark, but I've personally played one of these and loved it. My favourite bass tone and sound for less than 1k, if I wasn't in Europe I'd be negotiating over this!
