ESP Pancho Tomaselli PT4?

#2
These are great basses. I've owned a few ESP/LTD instruments, particularly in a PJ configuration. Lot of mid range growl and cut the mix really well for passive basses.

I don't think you can go wrong with this one, especially for the money. I almost bought a Pancho bass last year but, an amp I wanted came up as well. It wasn't an easy decision.

IMHO ESP/LTD have the best consistent build quality of any brand I have ever tried across their entire spectrum of instruments...from their entry level...all the way to the custom shop. (I own six of them at various price points)

I really like the neck profiles...

BTW...you are likely to see a lot of good deals on the Pancho Tomaselli Sig models pop up...as he just jumped off the ESP train and made the switch to G&L

Order placed!!! Expect NBD post soon!

Thanks so much guys! Interesting, I was wondering why this was no longer on ESP's website. Crazy good deal...$551 at checkout, considering this was going for ~$1000 just a year ago.

I've got an Ibanez SR250 now. Great entry level bass, but I'm ready to upgrade and I've always wanted a P/J J. This was perfect because the latest model I believe was switched to passive? And I love the blend knob and the simplified tone control. Ibby will be backup bass, or keep it in a different tuning. GAS fulfilled...for now! Although I would love a chorus pedal and pedal tuner... :)

Thanks again!
