ESP LTD B-1005 Bass Guitar - Natural Satin

Part of the LTD Deluxe Series that’s designed for professional musical applications on stage and in the studio, the newly updated B-1004 and B-1005 basses are perfect for almost any performance style and genre. Constructed at 34” scale, these basses offer a swamp ash body topped by solid bocote, a beautiful figured sustainable tone wood, along with a five-piece wenge/purple heart neck with a macassar ebony fingerboard. The B-1004 and B-1005 offer premium components including high-quality tuners and bridge from Gotoh, but it is highlighted by the inclusion of Nordstrand Big Splits hum-cancelling pickups, along with an ABQ-3MS 3-band EQ. This setup gives you incredible flexibility in tone, with an active/passive mini-switch, a mid-frequency selection mini-switch (800Hz or 400Hz), individual bass, treble, and mid EQ controls, and master volume and balance controls. Available in Natural Satin finish.
