ESP LTD AP-204 Electric Bass Black Satin

ESP LTD AP-204 Electric Bass Black Satin

The AP-204 delivers a comfortable, modern playing experience with its thin U-profile neck and compact 34" scale. The roasted jatoba fingerboard and 21 extra-jumbo frets provide smooth, fast navigation across the neck, while the mahogany body in black satin finish offers a sleek, professional aesthetic. This four-string bass is built for players seeking reliable active electronics and straightforward, articulate tone in a well-balanced package.

Playability & Construction

The bolt-on mahogany body combined with a maple neck and thin U contour creates an instrument that sits naturally in your lap and responds quickly to your technique. The 400mm fingerboard radius and 21 extra-jumbo frets flatten out the playable surface, reducing finger fatigue during extended sessions while the 38mm nut width gives you room to work cleanly across all four strings.

Tone & Electronics

Powered by ESP Designed LDP (neck) and LDJ (bridge) pickups with active electronics, the AP-204 delivers punchy mids and controlled lows shaped by the ABQ-2S Bass-Treble Stack control layout. The LTD DB-4 bridge and chrome hardware ensure stable tuning and solid sustain, while the included D'Addario XL165 strings (.045/.065/.085/.105) provide a balanced starting point for your tone.
