ESP LTD F-415FM - See Thru Black

One of my Best Bass Guitar that I have now. Besides the ESP LTD C305, ESP is one of my favorite Brand. But! Depends on where it's made the quality is different. Just for few hours I had the ESP Fretless B205 and it was made in Indonesia and the fret markers on the finger board were unevenly placed that were making buzzing sounds almost all over the finger board because the markers were placed either little too deep and little higher then the board. B205 Fretless were very nice looking but it's made to play music not buzz!This one is very close to one of my dream bass guitar and this will satisfy me for a while. Now I'm just waiting for the neck and the strings to settle in for a while.My next One will be either TA-604 FRX or TOM ARAYA FRX for sure!

You can tell this is a high quality masterpiece just as you unbox it. Not much setup needed as the sound is wonderful right out of the box. Doesn't suffer from fret buzz like some reviews claim.The pickups are top of the line. Default strings are D'Addario with lifetime warranty Grover tuners. The ESP warranty is easy to register and their site has a lot of company and community support.Pictures of this do not do this justice. Everyone who has seen this say the same thing. It has a beautiful two tone finish. The see thru black mahogany gives it a deep dark greenish, purplish, look in bright light. In dim or dark, a deep stripped black.The sound is extremely wicked, and has a broad spectrum without effect peddles.Like anything, if you spend a bit more money you get a lot more quality, and this Bass is a prime example.

Bought this as my second bass after a beginner one for four years. This is one amazing piece of work. The EMG pickups are great for metal in general but the tone knobs allow for very versatile tones if you prefer jazz or blues. I highly recommend this to anyone who can afford it. The see thru tone is exactly as it appears in the picture. The spikiness of the edges can be bothersome depending on how your strap is set up but that's just a matter of adjusting it. I've found the battery replacement to be an easy process. It does have a high output so you might struggle with getting some of the warmer sounds found on passive pickups. If you have a versatile amp or pedal(s), this is easily remedied. The B string is not flimsy like on some 5-string basses you see.

I have not had such a great bass before this is a hell of a great bass and I play as much as I can on it

Out of 5 bass guitars this is the one I pick up the most. The neck is unbelievable and the sound you can get out of this EMG set up amazing. The see thru black is awesome. In low light it loos black as night but add a little light and the wood shows through. The sustain on this is crazy as well. The only possible thing I could complain about is this beast is heavy!!! Note the mahogany body. I will note I wish I had forked over the extra $$$ and got the Danny Kenny sig version. The only difference between the two is that the Danny Kenny version has a green see thru finish and triangle inlays. Which make me wish I had it every time I see it
