ESP LTD F-4 String Bass Black Metal

ESP LTD F-4 String Bass Black Metal

The LTD F-4 delivers a thin, fast neck profile that sits comfortably in the hand during extended playing sessions, while its slab body design and neck-thru construction create a direct, responsive feel. Built for modern metal and aggressive playing styles, this bass combines aggressive aesthetics with serious hardware and electronics. The black satin finish and glow-in-the-dark side markers give it a distinctly modern, understated look that works across genres.

Playability & Construction

The 3-piece maple neck with thin U contour provides fast fretboard access, while the 24 XJ stainless steel frets deliver durability and bright, articulate note definition. Neck-thru-body construction with mahogany body and alder tonewoods ensures solid sustain and resonance, and the 400mm fingerboard radius on macassar ebony supports both precision fingerstyle work and aggressive pick playing.

Tone & Electronics

The single Fishman Fluence SB-1 pickup with pull-volume split-coil mode gives you tonal flexibility from modern active clarity to classic single-coil voicing without requiring a separate switch. Paired with the Gotoh 201B-4 bridge and Grover tuners, the LTD F-4 maintains solid tuning stability and bridges modern playability with classic bass hardware reliability.
