I can't answer your questions however, I just saw Bello and the boys from Anthrax and they are as tight as ever, even after 30 yrs.

 

[maiden1717]

thanks. Awesome man i hope they come to the Uk

At worst case you could upgrade the Squier. I personally feel a little to old to be rocking the skull graphics but maybe its good for you?

The fender is no loner available because he is now using ESP
His new sig is available as a ESP and LTD

Seems like Fender has lost yet another artist...just as well, the new 2012 Bello ESP looks much better built than his fender ever did.

This is one sexy bass. I'm curious to see how it plays and feels

His relationship with fender seems to have gone south after his sig model didn't sell well. Saw this coming lol!

I wonder how ESP/LTD is going to handle that satin finish. My Fender Highway One P is flat black. I get many compliments, but that nitro finish is so thin. I take really good care of my gear and I still have some chips on the back. I'd rather have a nice thick poly gloss any day. But maybe ESP has some tricks up their sleeve.

Sooo stoked for this bass. Any idea on pricing yet?

These look soo much better than his Fender. I love Jazz Basses, but his old Fender was eh and his ESP Pbass is soo awesome!

 

[anomynous]

I can't tell if you guys are joking, because his fender looked a lot better. Those are hideous.

 

[mr.black]

i think he musta really liked my old matte squire p-bass special i had him sign for me back in the day. same look only mine was matte nickel. HAHA!

wasn't Frank was using ESP during the Among the Living days?

now, if he'd only go back to the Rotosound Steels and that classic Bello clank!

I'm lovin it, too

 

[anomynous]

Ok, changed my mind. The bass is pretty sexy.



But I still like the Fender better.

 

[maiden1717]

these look cool.

What do you think they'll cost ? $800 or $900 ?

 

[anomynous]

LTD is $1000, ESP is $2000



Not kidding
