ESP LTD B-1005 Multi-Scale Bass, Natural Satin Overview

The ESP LTD B-1005 Bass in Natural Satin is a multiscale bass guitar - it's unusual to look at but the fanned frets allow for a very deep level of playability. A multiscale design optimises string tension so that the lower strings have a longer scale length than the higher ones, meaning you the perfect tone up and down the fretboard. Not only does it keep your tone in line, but it is also very comfortable to play meaning you can play at your best level for longer. Exceptionally designed and professionally constructed, the B-1005 Bass delivers professionalism in spades.

The swamp ash tonewood on the body of the guitar gives the overall tone a mid-to-bright feel making it perfect for all styles, especially rock and metal - you can get a serious amount of grit using the right amplifier. This is bolstered further with the five-piece wenge neck topped with a pau ferro fingerboard. This combination of woods offers adaptable characteristics - perfect for swapping between genres. The bolt-on design helps keep things in line and the extra thin 'U' shaped neck encourages comfort during play. The Nordstrand Big Splits offer huge tone, giving you the power to rock the stage. The top-class components all add up to an extremely satisfying bass playing experience. If you need a multiscale bass guitar for studio or stage - look no further than the B-1005 Bass.

Multiscale design provides massive gains in tone

Designed to increase playability and comfort for guitarists who use alternative low tunings. Multiscale guitars allow you in much lower tunings without losing any tonal qualities. This is due to the lower register being physically bigger - much like the low strings on a piano. The incredibly well designed bridge allows for larger sounding tones thanks to the extended scale of the bass. The increased tension of the strings also improves tone.

Get the ideal tone

Thanks to the precise controls, you can easily shape your perfect tone. The EQ features both active and passive sections. Meaning you can get the ideal tone no matter the situation.

Set the dials on the bass, mid, and treble to get the sound you want. You can even flick a switch to give yourself a mid-level boost. You can boost between 400Hz and 800Hz meaning you can add some serious mid-level power to your bass tone.

Booming bass pick ups

Featuring Nordstrand Big Splits the tone of the ESP B series bass gives you massive, low-end power. These pickups are super high output meaning they can easily drive even the most demanding amplification setups. These pickups provide a smoother and richer response making it incredibly versatile. When used along with the EQ controls, this bass is very versatile and can play a range of genres.

Exceptional design and construction

ESP is committed to producing the finest possible professional instruments. This bass guitar is no exception. Constructed from the finest woods, and crafted with total accuracy. This is a bass playing experience like no other. Thanks to the unique Bocote wood gives the B-1005 a very unique flavour and is certain to turn a head or two.
