ESP LTD TA-204-FRX/BLKS Electric Bass

The TA-204 FRX is built for aggressive playing with a thin, fast neck and extended 35" scale that rewards precision and sustain. This Tom Araya signature model channels the low-end intensity Slayer demands, combining a lightweight basswood body with passive electronics for straightforward, uncolored performance. The black satin finish and pentagram inlays make the aesthetic commitment unmistakable.

Playability & Feel

The thin U-contour neck with 24 extra-jumbo frets and 400mm fingerboard radius enables fast position shifts across the entire 35" extended scale. A 40mm molded nut width and roasted jatoba fingerboard provide a stable, modern feel that cuts through dense mix scenarios without fatigue.

Tone & Electronics

ESP Designed SB-4 pickups (SB-4N neck / SB-4B bridge) paired with passive Volume/Balance/Tone controls deliver a focused, articulate low end without digital interference. The LTD BB-604 bridge with black hardware ensures solid intonation and tonal transfer through the bolt-on construction.
