ESP LTD B-1004 Natural Satin w/ Nordstrand Pickups & Active Electonics

The B-1004 and B-1005 basses represent the pinnacle of professional craftsmanship in ESP’s LTD Deluxe Series, engineered specifically for demanding stage and studio environments. These instruments feature a sophisticated construction with swamp ash bodies beautifully topped with solid bocote, a stunning figured sustainable tonewood that adds both visual appeal and tonal character.

Built to professional standards with a 34” scale length, both models showcase a five-piece wenge and purple heart neck paired with a pau ferro fingerboard for exceptional playability and durability. The premium hardware package includes high-quality Gotoh tuners and bridge components, ensuring reliable performance and precise intonation across all playing situations.

The real standout feature lies in the electronics package, centred around Nordstrand Big Splits hum-cancelling pickups paired with an ABQ-3MS 3-band EQ system. This comprehensive setup provides remarkable tonal versatility through an active/passive mini-switch, selectable mid-frequency options at 800Hz or 400Hz, dedicated bass, treble and mid EQ controls, plus master volume and balance controls. Available exclusively in Natural Satin finish, these basses suit virtually any musical style or genre.
