Custom ESP LTD rb-1005 Red see-thru spalted maple

I am selling my ESP LTD RB1005 in see thru-red spalted maple top. It is “better” than brand new as I have paid to have the top luthier/tech in the Phoenix area do a complete set-up. I also had him put on brand new Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds ($100) so that I could capture the vintage P bass sounds as well as dialing in the “jazz” pickup. The positioning of the J pickup on this bass results in a unique “snarl-like character that I find unique and so cool. The bass is absolutely flawless with no scratches, swirls, etc… It is a “lightweight” bass weighing in at 7.7 pounds on my postal scale with no neck-dive. The bass balances perfectly!

It sold (street price) for $1299 when I bought it a few months ago and I will be willing to part with it for $800 plus shipping cost. ($50) The concept of this bass is great…it already has the upgrades that many bass players install in their basses. Aguilar pickups, aguilar pre-amp, Gotoh bridge, great quality Grover tuners, etc. This is a beautiful bass with a red see-through spalted maple top. Fancy mother-of-pearl inlays, maple fingerboard. Even the back of the neck has the natural finish (not lacquered) that is so comfortable on your hands with no stickiness.

If you are looking for a slim neck (fast action) that can capture a P-Bass vibe as well as some “snarl” when the J pickup is mixed in…..this is a perfect bass for you.
