ESP LTD FL-4 Fred Leclercq Bass – Black Red Burst Satin (B-Stock)

The ESP LTD FL-4 Fred Leclercq signature bass delivers the power and precision expected from one of heavy music’s most respected musicians. Designed in collaboration with Fred Leclercq of DragonForce and Kreator, the FL-4 features a unique body shape inspired by ESP’s Forest/F Series, enhanced with a diabolical tail cutout. Its Black Red Burst Satin finish emphasizes a bold and aggressive aesthetic for stage presence.

Constructed with neck-thru-body construction at a 34” scale, the bass pairs an alder body with an extra-thin five-piece maple/purpleheart neck. The Macassar ebony fingerboard has black binding, red offset dot inlays, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets for smooth, professional playability. Tone comes from a single active EMG 35P pickup, and hardware includes a Hipshot A Style bridge and Grover mini tuners for solid tuning stability.

Perfect for aggressive metal, power metal, and technical bass lines, the FL-4 combines style, comfort, and professional-grade components. Includes the FL Bass form-fit ESP deluxe case.

B-Stock Notice: This is a B-Stock unit that has been fully inspected and tested. Minor cosmetic imperfections may be present but do not affect playability or tone.
