General

There are several reasons why the LTD B-204SM NS (Natural Satin) is such an attractive instrument for serious starting guitarists. First of all, it has an unforgettable look - its ash body (which has a great look on its own) is adorned with a Spalted Maple top with an exceptional pattern. Combined with the 5-part neck (alternately maple and rosewood) the spalted maple gives the B-204SM an amazing, rugged, natural look.

B-204SM: comfort, resonance and power

Those who purchase the LTD B-204SM NS - with its extra thin, fast neck and great resonating properties - are in for a strong, versatile sound that is perfect for rock, hard rock and metal (among others). This bass guitar features two humbucker pickups to ensure a powerful, hum-free sound. Moreover, you can freely adjust the timbre by boosting bass, mids and trebles with the active 3-band equalizer.

Wrote the following about ESP LTD B-204SM NS electric bass guitar Natural Satin

Ultra fan de cette basse. Esthétiquement déjà, je la trouve très belle. Le premier jour de sa réception, j'ai passer le soir plus de 2 heures à jouer avec. J'arrive à avoir un son bien punchy qui contraste avec mon autre basse qui me donne un son plus rond mais elle reste quand même très polyvalente avec les possibilités de réglage. Pour info sur les 5 boutons, les petits gèrent basse, medium, aigus. Un des 2 gros, le volume et l'autre la balance entre les deux micros (ce ne sont pas 2 boutons de volume pour chaque micro).

Ik heb bijna de zelfde Bass alleen een ander finish op de body (204-BM). De gitaar speelt zeer soepel door de smalle hals. Tevens geeft de gitaar een lekker geluid in samen werking met een HARTKE HD75 versterker. kortom een echte aanrader.

Prachtig gemaakte gitaar, degelijke tuners en een heerlijk geluid. Ook zeer universeel inzetbaar door de actieve 3 bands equalizer. Kortom een oerdegelijke bas voor zijn prijs.
