i have an esp f104 that sees 0 playtime since i have bought better equip. my wifes been supportive of my purchases and i told her i would sell the esp since not using and she said that is her favorite of my basses "Buy what you want but please don't sell the esp" is what she told me. Sound wise i really have no interest in this bass but it did always feel comfortable to play. the bass wood body is ok from what i've read so could you get a good sounding bass with the right pickups and preamp or is this just a waste of time. should say also that resell compared to investment in this bass does not matter as i will never sell it whether its used or not.
