It's that good ol' rock n' roll bass; but equipped with ESP's modern weaponry for more power. The LTD Phoenix-1004 bass is loaded with a set of EMG 35 active pickups for a hi-fi sound and high output; perfect for modern rock and metal. Its 5-piece Mahogany/Walnut neck running through a mahogany body provides rich, solid tone, and its "Thin U" neck profile gives you effortless access all over the fretboard. Other premium components include a Gotoh 201B-4 bridge, 21 Extra Jumbo Stainless Steel frets, and a bound Macassar Ebony fretboard. And yes, the reverse headstock will make you look uber cool onstage.
