The ESP LTD H-1005SE Bass Guitar is loaded with premium electronics, including a pair of Nordstrand Big Splits Pickups. These iconic pickups were designed as a hybrid of jazz and precision basses, and produce a fat, balanced and exceptional tone, perfect for any style of music. Additionally, players can easily shape their tone with the active/passive mini-switch, mid-frequency selection mini-switch, bass, treble, mid EQ controls, as well as master volume and balance controls.
The Gotoh Tuners offer reliable and consistant tuning all night, while the Gotoh Bridge is versatile and produces a sonorous tone with excellent intonation.
The ESP LTD H-1005SE 5-String Bass Guitar's body is crafted from mahogany, which is an incredibly durable and popular body tonewood. Mahogany provides a full and resonant tone, with plenty of richness which works well with many styles of music. The rich mahogany is topped with burled maple, which not only provides a stunning and unique swirly visual, but it also offers a slightly warmer tone than classic maple which complements the mahogany well. The body features a single cutaway and a smaller dimensions than other LTD basses, offering a comfortable playing experience and easier access to the higher frets.
The 5-piece neck is more resistant to warping than a classic 1-piece neck, making it durable and long lasting. Bubinga as a neck tonewood offers a bright midrange and a thick bottom, while maple has a clear and defined sound with plenty of twang. The smooth neck offers a smooth play whilst navigating the rosewood fingerboard. The rosewood fingerboard offers rich tones with warmth and a soft high end. The neck through construction offers a stunning, natural appearance, as the contrasting colours of the deep bubinga and the light maple create a beautiful striped effect through the centre of the body.
