A Bass You Can Hear and Feel

We’ve often heard it said here at Sweetwater: ESP basses deliver exceptional playability and superb tonal variety. Take a glance at the LTD B-4 Ebony and you’ll find a body replete with an eye-catching burled poplar top that’s not just a pretty face, a mahogany body that packs punchy growl, and a 7-piece neck-through-body maple and mahogany neck to reel in the sustain and resonance. Add in ESP-designed humbuckers and you’ve got a bass that can tackle a wide range of genres with plenty of power to spare. ESP LTDs really rock, funk, and groove — take the LTD B-4 for a spin and find out for yourself.

Neck-through-body construction makes this bass sound huge

You may notice that the 7-piece maple/mahogany neck runs through the whole length of the B-4's poplar-topped mahogany body. This design enhances vibration transfer from the neck and fretboard throughout the body, leading to richer tones and a faster, more articulate response. You also get incredible sustain, making the sound of the B-4 a force to be reckoned with.

Play like you mean it with feisty dual humbuckers

From thundering rock to deep funk pockets, you'll play like you mean it with the LTD B-4's ESP designed humbuckers. These pickups pack plenty of low end; you can also dial them back for funkier tones that suit R&B or jazz, and even achieve bright tones for slapping and popping. The real magic is in the B-4's active 3-band EQ, which gives you control over bass, mids, and treble frequencies to fine-tune your sound. Also, a balance control gives you the power to blend each pickup, further diversifying your possible tonal range.

ESP LTD: a huge value with ESP quality

ESP LTD guitars and basses were created to bring a more affordable version of the classic designs and quality of ESP guitars to a new market. The entire ESP LTD line of instruments features premium tonewoods, quality pickups, and solid hardware for a lifetime of use.

An impressive list of signature guitars by some of today's biggest guitar heroes shows the popularity and respect held by ESP LTD. If you're looking for the perfect rock or metal guitar, then you need to check out ESP LTD.
