ESP LTD B-204DX Bass in Black Burst

ESP LTD B-204DX 4-String Electric Bass in Black Burst

The B-204DX delivers a balanced, comfortable playing experience with its slim Thin U neck contour and 34" scale—a workhorse design that suits players across genres. Black Burst finish and burled poplar top construction give this bass visual presence without sacrificing the clarity and punch required for tight rhythm work.

Playability & Build

The roasted maple neck resists warping while the rosewood fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and dot inlays provides confident fret access across the range. A 400mm fingerboard radius and 40mm molded nut establish the ergonomic foundation, while bolt-on construction with poplar body ensures reliable stability and sustain.

Tone & Electronics

Paired ESP SB-4 bridge and neck humbucking pickups feed an active 4-band EQ system with dedicated Volume/Balance/Bass/Treble controls, granting precise tonal shaping from warm lows to articulate highs. The LTD DB-4 fixed bridge and LTD tuners with black hardware complete a setup strung with D'Addario XL165 (.045/.065/.085/.105) gauge for defined attack and sustain.
