B-204SM
NATURAL SATIN
With its unique coloration and grain pattern highlights, spalted maple is a great look for a bass that stands out from the crowd. The B-204SM offers an ash body with a spalted maple top in Natural Satin finish, along with a thin U-shaped 5-piece maple/jatoba neck for excellent playing feel. You also get passive ESP Designed SB-4 pickups, along with an active ABQ-3 EQ, and good-looking black nickel hardware. Also available as a left-handed version and in See Thru Black Satin finish.
Some years ago I went into a music store to buy a bass. Had my heart set on a Fender P Bass. Tried many others as well which were great, then the guy in the store handed me this ESP. Immediately had a great feel. What a neck! Smooth and silky, comfortable. Went back to the others, including the P bass, but returned to this gorgeous ESP. Couldn’t put it down. Bought it - that was 12 years ago. Have since put in EMG pickups, powerful full sound. I got a P bass later, which is a great bass, but nothing like the feel and power of the Ltd. And I have the greatest respect for the P bass and its legacy. I take the ESP to gigs, practice with the P bass. My band mates all much prefer the sound and presence of the ESP. Thanks for a great looking and playing bass, at a very reasonable price.
This was the first bass i bought back in 2012 and not only has it lasted up to this year 10 years later, but the color, frets, hardware, and TONE continues to be in immaculate condition. I played many gigs with this bass and it continues to live up to its standard, and honestly has a better tone and feel than any other bass i've played with! Listen to Party Rice on any streaming platform and you can get an idea of how good it sounds in a metal or hardcore setting!
I just bought this bass and it is an incredible instrument. Forget the $$ point. I own an EB fretless, a MM fretted and other basses. This one is my favorite. The pickups are fantastic - clear, distinct, punchy if you want it, and bright. Nice slim neck makes for easy fingering. Smooth action all the way up the neck and easy access to the upper register notes toward the pickups. Beautiful finish and spalted maple body. Preamp is great. Hands down the best bass I own.
