I absolutely love the headstock, but, not so much the body.
Headstock makes me think of Ritter for some reason...

I really like the body! Especially the white one. Not too fond of the 3 and 1 headstock though. Still, this is giving me a bit of GAS
I guess those of you with more conservative tastes better hold on to your butts for this one because the Green, Purple, and Gold Metal Flaked Flamejob one? I'd TOTALLY rock that!!!
I would ****in rock that one in the middle loud and proud.
Do they actually sell those "exhibition" ones?

After playing a couple of these basses, I was really impressed. In fact, we gave ESP a Bass Gear Magazine Best of Show Award for the Stream line.

wonder what the actual retail price is going to be.
One cool thing ESP did was offer the Stream as an LTD, E-2 (new line, which replaces the "less expensive" ESP's of yore) and the ESP line (now reserved for the top of the line instruments).
That's the one they should be making, 5 string, neck thru, 24 frets, I want
I have it on good authority the 5 String version will be along shortly!
Good lord, I could get all sorts of stupid with that thing!
Normally I wouldn't be interested in basses with that much "bling"...but that one just rocks!
It's a shame they only have a black or sunburst base model. I'd buy a white one if they had it for $499 instead of $1,899.
As for neckdive…it's not a problem with either of my Thunderbirds and I'm sure the same remedy would work for this or any top-heavy bass.
Just found it in black for $300!

and at that price point, I love it in exactly the same way I love a vintage Ferrari....from a distance

The more I look at it - the more I kinda like it, but with a price tag of $4,200 +, I'll have to pass.
The ESP site says it's active with a 2-band EQ/EMG's.
