Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body wings and five-piece mahogany/walnut neck-thru build give this bass a warm, harmonically rich voice with long sustain, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard adds definition and attack to note onsets. The dual Fishman Fluence SB-1 pickups stay clear and full-range, and the pull-tone single-coil mode thins things out for a more focused, midrange-forward growl; separate neck and bridge volumes let you dial anything from deep, rounded fingerstyle tones to a brighter bridge-heavy bite. With a 34" scale, thin U neck and extra-jumbo stainless frets, it suits rock and metal players as readily as funk and fusion grooves that demand fast, articulate fingerwork.
ESP LTD PHOENIX-1004 Bass in Tobacco Sunburst Satin B-Stock
The PHOENIX-1004 sits in the hands with a comfortable, fast-playing feel anchored by neck-thru construction and a thin U-shaped neck contour that cuts fatigue on long sets. The 34" scale and Macassar ebony fingerboard with 15.75-inch radius handle rapid runs and deep grooves with equal ease, while the warm mahogany body sustains reliably night after night. This is a road-ready bass that pairs classic aesthetics with modern, stage-proven electronics and professional-grade hardware.
Construction & Build Quality
Neck-thru-body construction with a 5-piece mahogany/walnut neck ensures superior sustain and seamless upper-fret access for extended passages, while the mahogany body wings deliver warm, resonant tone with rich harmonic complexity that cuts through a live mix.
