The Story

1980s Custom-Ordered Bass

A very cool, vintage ESP bass! According to ESP, this is a mid '80s (1984-1985) custom-ordered bass built in Japan with a natural finish. Similar to the JB-300HM basses which were offered in 1985, but different hardware and headstock detailing. Likely a Customer-Ordered J-style bass, features include two volume controls with a master tone, 21 frets, small abalone dot inlays, and two single-coil pickups. The bass plays great, and is still in overall excellent condition. An ESP gigbag is included.
