Bold Looks and Tonal Versatility
Designed with sonic versatility in mind, the ESP LTD B-1004 electric bass offers a stellar playing experience. Its five-piece wenge/purpleheart neck with 24 jumbo frets offers eminent playability. And with a pair of Nordstrand Big Splits pickups, plus an active 3-band EQ with mid-frequency selection, you've got huge tone-shaping potential in your hands. Whether you're recording or performing, the ESP LTD B-1004 is an amazingly capable bass.
Shape your signature sound with Nordstrand Big Splits pickups
A pair of low-noise Nordstrand Big Splits pickups gives the LTD B-1004 a wide range of sonic territory to explore for modern rock, pop, and metal. Cycle through the B-1004's 3-band EQ to find aggressive picked tones, fat thumping bass, and everything in between. To fine-tune your place in the mix, use the mid-frequency selector to find just the right focus point for your midrange.
Active/passive switch for even more sonic options
Many fans of ESP LTD basses love their active electronics, but many others prefer the sound of a completely passive signal path — or simply don't want to mess with 9-volt batteries. Whatever type of player you are, you'll appreciate the LTD B-1004's active/passive switch — engage it to take advantage of the powerful 3-band EQ and higher output, or disengage for classic passive bass tone.
