Tonal Flexibility and Maximum Playability

Designed with input from legendary bass player Rocco Prestia, the ESP RB-1004 electric bass guitar offers infinite tonal options. Part of ESP's LTD line, the RB-1004 doesn't skimp on quality or features. The RB-1004's swamp ash body with solid burled maple top looks spectacular. You'll love the feel of the RB-1004's 5-piece maple and walnut neck, which is topped off with a maple fingerboard. Passive pickups with an active EQ provide you with plenty of sound-shaping possibilities. The ESP RB-1004 is a versatile and highly playable electric bass guitar.

Rocco Prestia's input resulted in an exceptional bass guitar

In collaboration with legendary Tower of Power bassist Rocco Prestia, ESP labored to create an instrument of such unprecedented tonal flexibility that Mr. Prestia would be proud to call it his personal bass of choice. It took more than a year to complete the ESP RB-1004's design, to ensure that every detail was flawless.

Aguilar PJ pickups and powerful active EQ for sonic versatility

The ESP RB-1004 comes equipped with Aguilar PJ pickups, which provide a flexible array of tones, whether using each pickup alone or in combination. A well-balanced pickup set, the Aguilar PJ pickups ensure that you can get the thunderous lows of the neck pickup or the midrange cut of the bridge - or both - all without hum! The real magic, however, is in the RB-1004's Aguilar OBP-2 preamp with 2-band EQ, which you can use to fine-tune your sound. And you can use the balance control to blend between pickups, instead of just selecting one or the other. With the RB-1004, you can dial in a wide range of tones to suit virtually any musical style.

ESP LTD series offers affordable quality and craftsmanship
