Full Description

Booming bass tones

Featuring top-of-the-line electronics, the Surveyor 5 is a perfect choice for professional musicians. One of its standout features is the dual-mode EMG MM5-TW bridge pickup that allows you to switch between single-coil and humbucker modes, providing a wide range of tones from warm and mellow to bright and cutting. Additionally, with an EMG 40P5 humbucker in the neck position, you can achieve powerful and punchy sonics, ideal for bass solos and heavy riffs. What's more, the 3-band EQ control enables you to fine-tune your sound, adjusting the bass, middle, and treble frequencies to customise your output according to your playing style and genre of music.

In addition to its impressive electronics, this ESP LTD Bass also offers great versatility and functionality with its volume control and pickup switch. Adjust your overall volume using the control knob, while the pickup switch allows you to choose between the bridge pickup, neck pickup, or both. By blending the two pickups or focusing on one pickup, you can create a variety of harmonics. Achieve the best sound possible.

Play like a pro

Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this model provides superior playability. The maple neck has a U shape that feels comfortable and natural in the hand, allowing for seamless movement across the fretboard. This is also made of maple and features twenty-one extra jumbo frets with black dot inlays, making it easy for you to navigate the neck and reach the upper frets. And thanks to the double cutaway body design, it is effortless to access to the highest frets, making it ideal for bass solos and intricate chord progressions. The high-quality materials used in its construction also make it durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use.

An added string for added possibilities

With the ESP LTD, you can enjoy the benefits of having an additional low B string. The fifth string provides the basis for using a wider range of notes and chords that can be inserted into basslines and solos, giving you more flexibility. Moreover, this extra string is perfect for tuning down, making it an excellent choice for heavier genres like metal and hard rock. This design also helps to create a thicker and more powerful tone, adding depth to the sound of the bass guitar.
