ESP LTD F Series DK5 Signature 5 string bass - *SOLD* £460 Central London/Lewisham/SE London

[alinbassplayer]

I’ve had this bass for about 3 years now, it was bought before the pandemic and was my main axe for one of the bands I was in at the time.

And as I have joined the dark side with fanned fret basses, this one is getting no usage at all. It has seen a few gigs and was used to record 2 albums during the pandemic, very versatile bass, as well as a stunner with the dark green sunburst finish, has the usual scuffs, and a couple of bumps and small scratches but none of those can be seen nor affect the playability of it.

It will need a slight clean as the hardware is a bit tarnished but easily cleanable, and most definitely new strings, I used it to record and play in A and it handled it beautifully.

One “upgrade” I did was to install recessed Dunlop strap locks. I will also include the old ones if you have the knowhow or want the old ones installed back. I will also include the strap ends of the Dunlop strap locks.

The neck through construction is top notch as expected for a signature bass, and it has amazing sustain.

Also included is a Mono M80 Stealth bass gig bag in pretty good condition.

These are fantastic basses. I have the non-signature version and it sounds incredible. Have a bump on me!

That's beautiful... silly question, who is DK?

Thanks dude, I wholeheartedly agree, should i not have gone multiscale i would have kept it. But this way someone else can enjoy it rather than gathering dust in my stand

No worries, it’s Danny Kenny of Suicide Silence, never been big on Suicide Silence but this bass was just exactly what i wanted for a really long time before i got it, and a while after that as well

Nope, never heard of them  😄

Still stuck in the 90s when it comes to the metal I'm afraid!

No worries, until i actually found this bass, i didn't really know who he was either, i knew of the band, but I always loved the F series LTD's ever since i saw DiGiorgio play a custom green one, and this was the closest i could get to that without going custom :)) it is an awesome bass, i just can't get used to the jumbo standard frets anymore and prefer either the banjo or standard frets.

I’m very interested in this if it’s passed up. 

[alinbassplayer]

Oh, i've only put it as pending as i used it for some live stuff recently, wanted to put it back for sale this weekend :))) so it is very much still up for grabs tbh, drop me a PM and we can take it from there
