The ESP LTD F-415FM 5-string bass guitar has neck-thru body construction for no neck movement, added sustain, and tonal clarity. The 5-piece maple-walnut neck features an extra-thin U-contour, allowing quick and easy access to all of the 5-string bass's 24 XJ frets. The F-415FM's rosewood fingerboard accentuates mid and lower frequencies for a rich, warm tone—a perfect complement for any rock, or rhythm and blues setting. The EMG active pickups produce a tone that is clear, articulate, and able to cut through even the busies mixes. With its breathtaking flamed maple top, black nickel hardware, beautiful see-thru black finish, and sleek black pickups, this ESP LTD bass will keep you looking good as well as sounding good.
