DISC ESP LTD BB1005 Bunny Brunel Fretless Bass Guitar, Burnt Orange

Full Description

Aguilar Pickups

The ESP LTD BB-1005 is loaded with a pair of Aguilar pickups, which consist of a 5J-HC and a 5M in the neck and bridge position. The 5J-HC is a split-coil pickup which is hum cancelling, but keeps the organic bass tone. It produces the deep, big and dynamic bass tone which is ideal for Jazz yet can accommodate many different music styles. The 5M has a classic bass tone enhanced by the harmonious, distinctive Aguilar sound. The bass also features an OBP-3 preamp that offers an array of sonic possibilities.

Crafted From Alder

The ESP LTD BB1005 Bunny Brunel Fretless Bass Guitar crafted from alder and features a cutaway for easier access to the higher frets. Alder is a lightweight yet strong sounding tonewood, which makes it ideal for a bass due to its clear, full bodied tone. The lightweight wood also adds to the comfort of the guitar, making it a great bass for serious musicians who wish to play all night long.

Stunning Quilt Maple Top

The ESP LTD BB1005 Bass is topped with quilt maple, which gives it a beautiful appearance. Although it is not just for aesthetics, the maple top also provides the alder body with a brighter and more defined tone. This stunning quilt maple top is finished in burnt orange for an eye-catching look which is sure to stand out on stage.

3-Piece Maple Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

The sturdy, 3-piece maple neck offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The bright tones from the maple are enhanced by the fretless ebony fingerboard, which is known for its extremely responsive and snappy attack. The fretless fingerboard creates a unique, retro sound that is different to a fretted bass guitar, and perfect for players who use sliding techniques.
