ESP LTD Surveyor '87 Bass Guitar - Black Reviews
Making its introduction in the 1987 ESP catalog, the Surveyor bass emerged as one of ESP’s most popular instruments, and vintage models have become highly coveted in collector circles. Featuring a classically shaped alder body and a 34" maple bolt-on neck, the Surveyor had a familiar feel with a contemporary edge. The ESP LTD Surveyor ’87 is a faithful re-creation of the original Surveyor, featuring the same P/J pickup combination, 21 extra-jumbo, nickel silver alloy frets, distinctive headstock, and striking black hardware. Premium appointments include a Gotoh 201-B4 bridge and LTD vintage tuners, for spectacular tuning stability, and a gorgeous Macassar ebony fingerboard that has caught the eye of bassists at Sweetwater. The Surveyor ’87 is a throwback instrument with an undeniable, timeless appeal.

ESP 87 Surveyor Reissue Bass.
I have to say this is an excellent bass. Put Labella 760FS Flatwounds on it, sounds and plays great. Neck feels excellent in my hands. Balances excellent also. I'd recommend give one a try. As always, Sweetwater sales staff were great! Shout out to Nick Church. Thank you.
Insane Bass Guitar!
The look and feel of the ESP Surveyor 87 bass guitar is totally insane. Nobody had this bass around where I lived so I took a risk buying it without testing it. Well, thankyou Sweetwater for selling them and of course to Jake my buddy pal for taking care of me through the sale. Cheer all and happy rockin!
Phenomenal Bass!!!!!!
Just got mine in today. This bass is freaking phenomenal! The most comfortable and fastest neck of any bass I've ever had. The tone is amazing as well. Really loving this bass!
Nice Bass
Really nice bass. That being said, I have a few complaints. After getting it I of course had to do a setup with my preferred strings. It had very little room to adjust the pickup height, I had to add foam under both to get them at the correct height. Also, the tuners are terribly hard to turn, and will be getting replaced. The Gotoh bridge rattles like crazy on the E string saddle, so I'll be replacing that as well. These issues shouldn't occur on a bass at this price point. Other than that it's a nice bass. Comfy neck, awesome pickups, very cool looks.
