ESP FF BASS

[Ataraxia2320]

RB 1006 is just above 1000€ so i highly doubt the 5 string FF would be +1500$.

Most likely we'll be able to see it around end 2016 or 2017 knowing the european market.

Yeah but this bass doesnt have fanned frets.

Anyone know if the on board preamp is meant to be any good?

I can not WAIT to try one of these suckers out.

the specs are unreal! Such a bold move - pretty exciting for us bassists I have an Ibanez Fan fret and love it - and desperately want a dingwall! These basses definitely compete, I think itll be a matter of preference soon enough!

I don't like the headstock but that 5 string is tight!

I'll just add this to my "check this for sure" list at musicmesse.

would take about an hour to check out the esp booth alone and that's assuming you can actually try it out.

So far all the reports from namm are all lackluster to say the least.

Will just have to leave stupidly early to arrive in frankfurt at a reasonable hour.

Concerning the fair itself or the instrument specifically?

Everyone brand has their stuff on display but there's no testing rooms at all it seems.

Testing out a prs at musicmesse through a mesa mark combo is much more convincing then lets say an out of tune dean through a 15 watt roland cube (london guitar show).

And the Iso booths are always a blast aswell, kinda hoping esp will have one available so i can test drive a few of their basses.

I never cared for ESP/LTD basses but if I was a metal player I'd jump on one of these.

I don't think I could reach anything with the 37" scale on the low strings... Hopefully I can find one to play.

Kind of a bummer that they splurged on a wenge/bubinga neck but didn't use wenge for the board.

Would be worth a try, interesting indeed, but nothing to me beats that dingwall neck, Afterburner body feel and those FD3-4L pickups in series

If you can play a 35" scale you can def play a 37" on a fan, a good deal if that scale is on the bridge
