Hi can I join and get a number please! Think I may have joined another ESP club but can't find it, I started an ESP thread but was directed onto another one, possibly this one.

Anyhow I own a ESP/LTD Viper 254 bass, with an active pre-amp and EMG 35-HZ pickups, wich is f*** wicked and is black.

Please PM me a number, Cheers

So is this yet another failed attempt at an ESP/LTD club or is it for the ESP purists only?

Na, ESP/LTD club, nothing elitist here, pretty much ESP/LTD are closer than fender and squire. Besides we don't all have the money for Japanese made ESP's, and I'm dubious as to what the actual quality difference is between the two.

I was trying to find the other ESP club thread as well.

Sweet. So who do we gotta slap to get numbers around here? I posted pics of my babies in post #274. As far as quality, my only gripe is the crappy hollow plastic nuts and the poor fret work on the LTD's. A few bucks at a good repair shop can solve both of these issues though.

I'm a B-50 owner. Damn, that's a lot of bass for the money. The only problem was the nut, it's way too high, and I had to cut really deep to make it playable. But now it's really nice, neck feels great, the whole bass seems very solid and reliable. I mostly use the P pickup to get my rock tone. I'm curious about their 5 strings, I need a good one. No shops has a lot of them in my area. :(

I'll say this.. Ive never owned or played an ESP before the one I got on Monday.. Its no better than any mid level Japanese guitar I've played before, the hardware is regular cheapo off the shelf Gotoh stuff, the finish is nice I guess, the fit is pretty good, the electrics and pickups are just off the shelf Seymour Duncan.

Yeah, its a nice bass.. but just a regular MIJ bass with a poly finish.. are they meant to be mystical or something?

Allow me to show off another B series!

B-206 (spalted maple, of course):

And the headstock:

This bass has an Audere 4-band preamp and is strung F#BEADG. The strings are Octave4Plus. I talked to Garry for a long time before purchasing the strings and setting my bass up for F#. That man is purely a genius.

Hi, is any one going to dish out club numbers for this thread? would much like one!

Love my LTD Viper 254, and my next mission is to get an affordable 5-string LTD like a B-55 or something. A NZ $2000 LTD 5-string would also be cool in order to get another bass with EMGs that are active/semi active.
