ESP LTD B-205SM-FL Fretless NS bass guitar 5-string Natural Satin
OK I am always nervous about buying a bass I have not played, but this little beauty ticked all the boxes and is an amazing price. Came on the day stated. Took her out, really well put together - it does not matter that the body is of multi piece construction - it looks great from the front. Had a quick play, but as expected hated the round would strings, so swapped them for a set of Lab Bella flats - I used long length as you can mount the strings direct on the bridge, without going through body. Retuned and started playing. Action really low, the neck was set straight, a delight to play, as the neck is a great shape for comfortable playing. Fret markers are great too, and the intonation was spot on, so no adjustments were made to the set up. Then I plugged in. This bass has one of the easiest active eq's to get your tone right almost first time, and what a tone - I am using this bass in a jazz blues band, and it sounds perfect, but I would also use it in my prog rock band. Enough I hear you say... Summary great bass great sound great player great price. Recommendation : BUY!
