DISC ESP LTD B-1004SE Multi-Scale Bass Guitar, Natural Satin

Full Description

Nordstrand Big Splits Pickups

The B-100 Multi-Scale Bass is powered by a pair of Nordstrand Big Split Pickups in the neck and bridge position. Big Split Pickups were designed as a hybrid of jazz and precision basses, offering a wide array of tonal possibilities. The Big Splits layout is angled and the coil is split in half, producing a fat, balanced bass that will cut through any mix.

Multi Scale Fret Design

The most impressive feature of the ESP B-1004SE Bass is the unique fret design and multi-scale fingerboard. The scale decreases from 36.25" to 34" which enhances string tension and means that the lower strings have a longer scale than the higher strings. This design feature ensures exceptional and consistent tone and performance. The fret arrangement is ergonomically designed to enable more natural and comfortable play with little learning and adjustment.

Swamp Ash Body With Rosewood Top

The swamp ash body offers a light and comfortable playing experience, and a sound that has plenty of twangs. The tones delivered by the swamp ash are both crisp and articulate, with firm lows, snappy highs and sweet sustain. The swamp ash is topped with a beautiful rosewood top, which provides a fuller and warmer tone. The body is finished in natural satin, which allows the grain to be visible for a unique appearance.

5-Piece Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The 5-piece neck is more resistant to warping than a classic 1-piece neck, making it durable and long lasting. Bubinga as a neck tonewood offers a bright midrange and a thick bottom, while wenge offers warm lows, good clarity and overall unique sound. Wenge is a porous wood with open grain, which means you can feel the texture underneath your fingers whilst navigating the rosewood fingerboard.

Premium Hardware

The B-100 Multi Scale Bass features premium hardware for a smooth and outstanding bass performance, including Gotoh Tuners which offer reliable and consistent tuning all night. The Hipshot Solo Bridge is a single bridge system, which offers perfect intonation and with comfort and versatility .
