This is a 2013 ESP LTD Elite J4 bass. The "LTD Elite" series was originally called "ESP Standard Series" for many years, then renamed to "ESP E-II" in 2014. These were made in Japan, and it shows! The wood is absolutely beautiful, the quality control is top-notch, and frets are perfect.
Originally, this had chrome hardware and a gloss body. The body is now satin (feels smoother against your arm), and all hardware/screws have been changed to black. (The holes you see on the back of the head stock were from the original tuners, however the GOTOH tuners I put in place didn't take up those spots). The finish on the body and matching head stock look fantastic (awesome orange color), I couldn't find any obvious scratches, dents, or dings anywhere.
This has Seymour Duncan SJB-1 Vintage pickups, and they replicate the sound of 60s/70s basses perfectly.
The knobs are custom and glow-in-the-dark with a UV flashlight.
Look at the photos and check out how bad-to-the-bone this bass looks!
Original ESP hard case is in good condition and comes with the lock keys.
