lemmywinks Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Have a Google for "ESP 400 series bass", quite a nice bit of kit and not a cheapy by any means. The Jazz ones seem to come up more regularly, if you find one of those that sold that should be a good guide price. Linus on here had one - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18479"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18479[/url] Seems like a mid-80s bass? If so it's a proper Japanese ESP, not the Ltd series they put out now. Nice bass! Edited February 10, 2011 by lemmywinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxpop Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Have you had the bass checked over by someone who knows about setting up a bass. It might help your sale if you could provide evidence that it is set up correctly, has a good playable neck and the electrics are working ok. I say this because, correct me if I am wrong, you are not a bass player and your asking price might not be reachable if it plays like a plank of old wood.

Linus27 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 A few things are jumping out at me here. I have never seen that bridge on an ESP bass and is nothing like the one on my ESP 400 Series Jazz. I have also never seen those tone and volume dials before. Plus, I have certainly never ever seen that head shape on an ESP bass. It might all be 100% genuine but its worth checking out first. The back of the neck should have a serial number stamped on it. Plus, the neck plate should have the ESP logo on it and a serial number. Does it have any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be completely wrong as I had one of these around 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great looking bass and a nice price too. The quickest way to get some info on this is asking in the general discussion section of the ESP forum. A few guys there really know their stuff.

MissusMayhem Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm not a bass player although i have been assured by a friend who has a music shop that it is genuine It does not have a serial code at all and the tone and volume knobs were put on by me as when i was given it it had none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
