Official ESP club

Added another one to the stable last week.
Other than the nut being cut a hair to low on some strings, this thing is fantastic !

NBD - LTD B-55 w/upgrades
 
It's been a while and there have been some new acquisitions and trades, but here is my final completed stable of ESP LTD basses and rig. They are from bottom left to right:
B-1005se Multiscale tuned F# standard
B-206SM tuned B standard
F-5e tuned A standard
F-415FM tuned B standard ...
Top left to right
Surveyor 4 tuned e standard
Surveyor 5 tuned B standard
F-104 tuned d#

All of them ran through a Zoom 3Gn multi effects processor for effects and preamp into a Fender Rumble 500 which is then pumped through 2x Fender Rumble 112 cabs. I must say that my stable is nearly complete. I have all the gear and now am focusing on education and getting better to start recording. I have the tools, now to make it all come together. #espbasses #espguitarsandbasses #drstrings #fenderamplification #rumble

Well seeing as I can't seem to find a ESP bass club...and yes I did search. I figured I would post a thread to double check and see if I can get any response. Show em' if you got em'. :bassist:

below is my LTD B254...love it..main bass.

EMG HZ's ,3 band Active EMG EQ, Neck through

Paid $325 out the door with ESP hardshell case. Used..but gently. :hyper:

While I know this club doesn't have as much action as some others, As a huge ESP and LTD bass fan, I would be willing to take over and hand out numbers if that is ok with @funkmasterflex...

Right on. Bass was waiting for me yesterday when I came home from work. Much to my surprise, it came with a pretty nice gig back with the new ESP logo on it. I'll put up some pics when I can. I gotta build me a new bass rig and then lastly, get some EMG's in this thing. I really did the maple fingerboard with no position markers and the string through body. Here's the website photos in the meantime...

Hi, what model is this?

I'm starting to come around the ESP has the nicest import PJ for the money on the market.

On the basis that your in charge now, can I have a number?

I'm the very pleased possessor of a spalted maple 204 FL. Astonishingly well made for the money and a real joy to play.

If I was allowed to post pics I would, but I don't think I've made enough posts yet.

It's a pretty fiddle though.
 
Well, I have emailed the admin about "taking over," or starting a new club, and this was the response.


Hello - that's an interesting question that we haven't had to deal with before. But I would say that if the original club master is no longer active and you are willing got step in to keep it going, that would be a good service to everyone involved. Maybe post in the thread announcing that you'll be giving out numbers until/unless the original OP returns? That should keep everyone happy.

I wouldn't start a new thread, though - on the current software, it makes more sense just to continue the original one.

So looks like I will be assigning numbers, including my own. In the interest of fairness I think I may try contacting the earlier people that requested one first, so that they can have first dibs. ;)

I am usually absent on weekends, so be patient with me, but I will get to all requested shortly.

Thanks, Forrest C.

hi my esp vintage four...my favourite usual go to....does everything and very comfortable neck.a small inconveniance is that you cant reach the truss rodd without removing the neck..but i can survive that..
Actually it is the most expensive bass i own...i ve put against very serious fender p basses..including custom shops...and it sounded better.
Cheers

I could be getting this as a trade for my Epiphone Classic pro Tbird. We are swapping for a couple days to see how we like each bass. If you notice there is a strip running down the middle. My buddy had this cut in half and took some wood out of inside for a bit of weight reduction. First guy with a hallow body 206SM?

I don't know the exact weight right now but it isn't heavy at all. And look that the flame going on in that top
