JapanAxe Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The pickups look like Yamaha soapbars, the headstock suggests a TRB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 The control knobs on a TRB are angled and the truss rod access it at the body end. I'm curious about that 12th fret marker too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Here's another pic showing the headstock. If you enlarge the pic it looks like 'ltd' on the headstock. Something similar (but different) to this - [url="http://www.zzounds.com/item--ESPB205SMFL"]http://www.zzounds.c...em--ESPB205SMFL[/url] Edited July 10, 2016 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) If that's the case it is more than likely an ESP. The control layout is identical to my B205. Edited July 10, 2016 by BassBus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 A thread on TB said ESP. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/muzz-skillings-living-colour-bass.584678/ Then quickly derailed to Doug Wimbish and Vernon Reid's playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ha ha, not a bass stare-er, just always liked Living Colour! Ta for the Talkbass link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I don't really know anything about ESP basses (so it could be that), but without checking, the headstock looks a little like a Tune headstock? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It's an ESP Horizon bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1468148377' post='3088815'] It's an ESP Horizon bass. [/quote] It's an LTD (or ESP) C305. Similar shape to the Horizon, but the Horizon generally had a sculpted body, PJ pickups and reverse tuners on the low strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
