ESP LTD GB-4 Violet Andromeda Satin 4-string Bassguitar

The GB-4 is completely unique among the LTD series of basses with its future/retro shape and its powerful and versatile electronics. This bass features bolt-on construction at 34” scale, with a swamp ash body and thin U-shaped maple neck. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard includes 21 extra-jumbo frets and contrasting block inlays. The GB-4 is especially notable for its set of passive Seymour Duncan SSB-4 pickups with Duncan’s STC-3M3 active EQ. You’ll not only be able to sculpt your tone with stacked treble/bass controls and a dedicated midrange control; you also get a push-pull feature on the volume knob that engages the GB-4’s slap switch, a special EQ contour voiced specifically for slap bass. There are even trim pots on the circuit board that can be tweaked to preset the slap EQ contour right where you want it. The sound of this pickup set and preamp electronics is huge… beefy and round, with excellent articulation on the low end (especially great for bass players who downtune). Other pro-quality features and components include a brushed black pickguard, LTD Vintage tuners, and a Gotoh 404BO-4 bridge.

Тype

Тype: Offset

Offset guitar refers to a type of electric guitar with an asymmetrical body shape, where the bottom is offset from the top. This design improves comfort when playing while seated. Examples of this are the Fender Jazzmaster and the Jaguar. Offset guitars are popular in alternative and indie music genres.

Pickups Configuration

Pickups Configuration: HH

The humbucker-humbucker configuration means that the guitar is equipped with two humbucker pickups. It offers a powerful, full sound with high output and low noise, ideal for rock and metal.

Finish: Satin

The satin finish is popular for its ability to combine the properties of both a glossy and matte finish. This type of finish provides a soft sheen, less intense than gloss but more pronounced than matte. This creates a smooth to touch, lightly reflective surface which gives an elegant and sophisticated appearance. The satin finish is ideal for those looking for a balance between visual appeal and convenience, as it can hide small imperfections and fingerprints better than glossy surfaces.

Body: Swamp Ash

Swamp ash is a lightweight, open-grained wood that produces a bright and dynamic tone with punchy highs, solid lows, and an expressive mid-range. It is valued for its resonance and natural sustain, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

Neck: Maple

Maple is known for its strength and stability, making it ideal for necks that need to resist bending and warping.

Fretboard: Macassar Ebony

Macassar ebony is a hard, dense wood with a distinctive striped pattern in shades of black and brown. It offers a clear, crisp tone with excellent response and sustain. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is valued for its luxurious appearance and durability. This contributes to the precise playability and longevity of the instrument.
