This 1990s ESP Japan 4-string bass in translucent blue combines classic Jazz Bass-inspired offset contours with ESP’s more aggressive appointments. The ash body shows attractive grain through the translucent blue finish; deep cutaways and sharper horn points give enhanced upper-fret access. The instrument is described in excellent condition and comes with its original hardshell case (OHSC).
Playability and hardware reflect ESP’s Japanese-era build quality: a 4‑string configuration with a neck‑through or bolt‑on neck typical of ESP’s period models (maple neck with rosewood fingerboard). Expect a comfortable scale length around 34" and a slim, fast neck profile well suited for technical playing. Electronics on these models usually feature two single‑coil or split‑coil pickups and simple tone/volume controls for punchy, articulate bass tones. Features:
