LTD basses - opinions ?

i can honestly tell you that I am not a fan personally of LTD basses. Not that they're bad or anything like that. I just have my own preference. (I like to have more finesse than LTD usually gives) But I do like is Metal, and I do think that most LTD basses sound great for Metal. I like the necks on LTDs pretty good too. The B-1004 is pretty comfortable to me when I have played around with them. I think you're going to do good with that one.
 
I dont know the exact models you're discussing, but I used to own an LTD B404. It was a GREAT bass and I kinda wish I had it back. Full EMG electronics (pickups and pre) made it roar. Body was lightweight ash and the neck was a dream.
I only sold it because I was moving away from actives at the time.
