The ESP LTD B-1004 is a four-string bolt-on electric bass with a swamp ash body capped in solid bocote and a five-piece wenge and purple heart neck. It stands out for stainless steel frets, a Gotoh bridge and a natural satin finish that shows off the wood. The 34-inch scale and 42 mm nut give it a familiar feel for players used to Fender-style basses, while the humbucker pickups push it toward rock and metal tones. It sits above ESP's cheaper B-series models in materials and hardware, and it competes with mid-range active basses from Ibanez and Yamaha on build rather than on electronics.
