Stellar Sonics, Ergonomics, and Aesthetics for Any Bassist

Lay down unmistakable bass vibes brimming with panache with the ESP LTD Surveyor-204DX, a classic body shape that is equal parts stunning and performance-driven. Starting with a lightweight and resonant poplar body, the Surveyor-204DX’s contours exude comfort while allowing unfettered access to its 21-fret rosewood fingerboard. A prime example in both function and form, the Surveyor-204DX delivers quality features, such as an eye-catching flame maple veneer top, a comfortable Thin U roasted maple neck, and an LTD DB-4 bridge that solidifies your foundational footing throughout even your most aggressive sets. Add in a set of versatile P- and J-style pickups and an active Tone Boost control, and it's clear that the Surveyor-204DX delivers high-end features and low-end sonics fit for all players.

Distinctive tonewoods for focused lows and a cutting edge

Not one to shy away from the limelight, the LTD Surveyor-204DX's solid poplar body boasts a gorgeous flame maple top with a gloss finish, providing an elite onstage appearance. Up top, the Surveyor-204DX's roasted maple neck features a bolt-on joint and Thin U profile, allowing for quick notational changes while providing complete playing control throughout your session. Likewise, a 15.75-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 extra-jumbo frets ensures every movement is made accurately and comfortably, no matter your genre or playing style.

Traditional P/J pickups stand out from the rest

ESP electronics have a sound that delivers for rock, metal, and fusion, and the LTD Surveyor-204DX stays true to this reputation. The LJB neck and LPB bridge single-coils give this bass moderate output and a classic voice, ideal for stage amplification and accurate studio sound reproduction. A powerful Tone Boost active EQ provides diverse tone-shaping options to help your groove find its place in a mix.

Pro-level appointments for players of all levels

The LTD Surveyor-204DX boasts a flame maple top — a feature typically found on high-end models — and sleek black nickel hardware that blends nicely with the stunning maple cap. The string-through LTD DB-4 bridge provides a solid intersection between the strings and the body, preserving tone and ensuring long-lasting, clean performance. Whether this bass is your foray into the world of 4-string sonics or another addition to your growing collection, Sweetwater bassists agree that the LTD Surveyor-204DX is an excellent choice.
