Hello all. and also @doc40hz
Sorry to drag up an old thread, but this seems to be a rare mention of an ESP LTD AP-5 on Basschat.
Did anyone ever decide whether the B and E intonation problem on this ESP LTD AP-5 was common to the model, or just isolated to this one example?
I'm thinking about buying a pre-owned one, but it would be an online purchase from 1100km distant, and since the seller is mainly a music instruction institute, I'm not sure I'd trust their assessment of the instrument's intonation, despite whatever willingness or good intentions they may have. They do have a 7-day return policy, but shipping costs would be my responsibility.
Also, does anyone know if the "Pelham Blue" that was used on ESP LTD AP basses was a "matte" or gloss finish (or somewhere in-between)? That color is discontinued on the current line of these basses. Old specs just say "color: Pellham Blue, finish: Metallic". so... I'm asking here. 🙂
Thanks for any input!
