[b]ESP Navigator Espionage Precision Bass[/b]
Navigators are high-end basses made by ESP Custom Shop

This particular model is probably from the 80s (hard to tell, there's no serial number) and is very rare in Europe (I imported it from Japan)
Great quality, hand-crafted bass, very light (3,9kg) and resonant.
Just received a fret job by a professional luthier and plays really great with low action.
Everything original except:
I replaced all the potentiometers with new CTS ones, new input socket too. (I still have the original parts)
At the moment it comes with Gotoh Res-o-lite tuners, very light. Upon request I could put the original tuners back on (which would be reflected in a lower price).
Not sure whether the pickguard is original.
Good condition except a for few nicks.
The holes for a (potential) bridge cover were made by the previous owner, not very nicely though in my opinion. Little crack in the pickguard (see pictures).

I would love to keep this but have another bass on the way which needs to be paid....
PS: It comes with the standard silver knobs, not the black ones pictured in some of the photos
