Made in Korea - but man what a bass!! 21 Frets - Flame Maple top and binding - all natural - have seen the darker "cherry do care for it too much compared to natural. I cannot believe the beauty of this and the price I got it for!! All gold hardware and EMG active pickups! Came with gigbag. Bought a case for it asap.

I love it, has tons of different tones with the EMG's - a great bass to be had by all!!

No flaws at all, not a mark on her! Action was fine, I was a little thrown because this is a 4 string and I was - and I mean WAS playing 5's. So at first my eyes would trick me I think, but I adjusted fine and I am very happy about it. Looking for another now!!

It is heavy, and seems like it could take you in a fight and keep playing all night long!

GO FIND ONE!!! I was sure this was going to go for a lot higher price, it must have slipped by everyone and I thank all of you for missing out so I could get my hands on this. The first thing I thought when I got was the scene from WB - where Daffy beats the crap out of Taz because Taz took his money from him - " I may be a duck, but I'm a greedy little DUCK!" Again thank you all for your lack of sight on this one!!

Haven't had it long enough...sure seems like it would be more than tough enough.

I bought this used, and emailed ESP for a manual weeks ago...STILL haven't heard back. I'm hoping this isn't indicative of their style in general.

This bass is simply incredible for the price....find one used. It will completely kick the crap out of any stock MIM or MIA Fender. With the active EMG's you can dial in any tone you need.
Get past your headstock bias and buy this bass...it may very well be your last unless you collect them.
