Esp Ltd bb4?!

#2
i am currently looking at buying the ltd B-5E NS. I went to a local shop that is an esp dealer and he had both the bass you are looking at and the B-5E NS. I got the chance to play both. They are both PHENOMINAL basses. AMAZING sound AMAZING feel. AMAZING price. I think you are looking at a bass that has a bolt-on neck. But that is not to worry at all. The esp guiars and basses all have amazing bolt on necks. Some of the gnarliest (in a good way) bolt structures and patters that make for an extremely soid bass. I would definately reccomend this bass to you. They are extremely versitile and can have even new pickups and preamps put in to personal prefrerence. The bass can have pretty much any tone you want. And there is a great feel, both sitting and also standing with it strapped on. I highly suggest you to buy this bass man. I hope that helps!!! :D

Thanks, that helps some but it looks like the one I mentioned is the first of a new series. it reads it's a neck through with some Seymour pick ups I never heard of before. Here's the link [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I own 5 (yes 5) Esp/LTD basses and IMHO they blow the competition away in their comparable price points....

Love the Necks (super comfy and fast) and construction is top notch (even their cheapo's are great)

those Duncan pups are super bright and burpy and punchy (lot of midrange) and the output is very hot

Graphite nut and Grover tuners...can't go wrong with this bass

you could do a lot worse for $800.00

That is one very nice bass in your link. I love "P bass Special" basses with a J pickup in addition to the P. Striking looking and I imagine it sounds nice as well.
