ESP LTD TA-204 Tom Araya Signature electric bass guitar

General

This rugged instrument is a signature bass guitar that was the result of a collaboration between ESP and Slayer singer/bass player Tom Araya. The LTD TA-204 is the successor of the TA-200 and it features a beautiful, leaf-like Forest-model body as well as a high-gloss black lacquer and comfortable body bevels that beautifully match the black headstock and dark-coloured hardware. Special pentagram position markers adorn the rosewood fretboard.

TA-204: body, neck and pickups

The basswood body of the TA-204 is pleasantly light of weight, while its deep cutaways give you plenty of room around the highest frets. Another great feature for unhindered bass playing is this guitar's slender U-profile neck. To ensure that a powerful, warm, delightfully full and not-too-clean sound reaches your amplifier, the TA-204 is equipped with two ESP SB-4 humbuckers. This is a remarkable electric bass guitar from the ever-reliable LTD company.

ESP's LTD bass guitars

LTD is a subdivision of the renowned ESP brand. Many hard rock and heavy metal bass players, ranging from amateur to professional to rock legend, own an ESP instrument. ESP bass guitars aren't exclusive to rock and (heavy) metal though. ESP offers several series, including a large number of signature models made in collaboration with famous artists. LTD guitars are perfect if a professional instrument is out of your reach just yet. They offer durable quality, a beautiful shape, a tasteful finish and excellent sound at a reasonable price.
