tazza1 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Price drop to £130 to move this on & I've added some pics taken from a smartphone so they're not the best. The blue is in reality a deeper blue than the pics show - it really is a nice looking & playing bass. Hi, I have an ESP LTD B-55FM five string active bass for sale. I bought this new from Andertons for £254 for a band reunion that unfortunately (for me anyway) didn't happen. I purposely bought this model after searching for a decent 5 string bass with a thin neck as I only play four string basses these days but most of our old songs required a 5 string. The nut width is 43mm - if you like cricket bat necks this bass probably isn't for you. It has a beautiful blueburst finish (ESP call it see-thru blue) with a flamed maple top - I think this colour is now discontinued. Specs are as follows:[list] [*]Bolt-On Construction [*]34" Scale [*]Basswood Body [*]Flamed Maple Top [*]Maple Neck [*]Rosewood Fingerboard [*]43mm Standard Nut [*]Thin U Neck Contour [*]24 XJ Frets [*]Chrome Hardware [*]ESP Tuners [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]ESP DB-5 Bridge[/font][/size] [*][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]ESP LDJ (B) / LDP (N) p.u.[/font][/size] [*]ESP ATB-1 Active Tone Boost [*]Controls: Neck Volume, Bridge Volume, Balance [/list] I only used this for two rehearsals with the band before deciding not to continue with them so it's had very little use. It does not come with a case or gig bag as I don't have any spares left. I no longer post basses out after having problems previously with a couple of basses being damaged by couriers so I'm afraid it is collection only. However this can be collected from my workplace in Leicester (I can be available most evenings except weekends but unfortunately you won't be able to play it through an amp there - If you want to try it out I can bring my Pandora & headphones & you can play it through that) [b]or[/b] can be collected from my house near Norwich during weekends where you can try it out through my amp (I would need a few days notice though so I can retrieve it and the amp from where they're stored). Thanks for looking Tazza [attachment=230183:whole.jpg] [attachment=230184:Side-on.jpg] [attachment=230185:Headstock.jpg] [attachment=230186:Front.jpg] [attachment=230187:fingerboard.jpg] [attachment=230188:Back.jpg] Edited October 22, 2016 by tazza1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
