LTD Electric Basses

I bought this guitar after playing and comparing it to others in it's price range and more. Bud's in Peterborough Ont. sold it to me for around $500 CDN including case. This is a well built robust instument..and it is loud and clean. I have to compete acoustically with fiddles on occasion and this guitar really cuts through the racket!! Despite the volume this guitar can put out it is well balanced from lows to highs and can respond well to a more delicate touch in quiet environments. As above this is a robust instument..it is supplied with strings far heavier than I expected and fingering suffers a little. The factory setup is safe against rattling but a barred F is really miserable. I will let this one settle a bit then replace nut & saddle with appropriate height bone pieces. Construction is really quite good. This guitar is a sleeper..very plain and flawless spruce top..beautiful flamed maple back & sides..but very plain binding and headstock. The soundhole ring is mosaic but you wouldn't know it..it looks like a decal. I didn't buy this guitar for instant rewards..Norman's reputation is that these things improve with age..and the wood is beautiful. The sustain is wonderful..I swear it's still ringing when I put it away!!! This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

i had gotton this guitar from www.music123.com for $279 witch is not a bad at all price at all for the quality of this bass.the people at music 123 are good at service,i had called to track my order and they did as fast as they could,i didnt have too call back or anything,so i would suggest them to everyone i likeeverything about this bass.i really dig the color(see-tru black)witch really looks great.the pickups on this thing sound very nice,the neck is very fast. very good for metal or any outher kind of music you could play or think about. there is nothing at all i dont like about this bass.after reading countless reviews about this bass i settled on this and it is everything i wanted,but i had allso played a ibanez five string at a local shop that was the same price as this esp and i played the esp too and the esp won by a land slide. the construction and quality is amazeing for this low priced bass,since it is low priced youd thing it would be pute together cheap or something but its not.i had though about ibanez because there suposed to be quality but i disagree,when i looked at the neck one of the inlayes where not put in right and the nut was already coming off! yes im shur ibanez is a very good brand its just the model you get i supose. Now the esp on the outher hand has nothing wrong with it everything looks like its done right. i looked around and read alot of reviews about the esp b-105 and its everything i have read and even better.if you have done the same,looking to spend little money on a good QUALITY bass i suggest you buy this bass,but thats all my own opinon,and every ones is difrent.

i buoght this as my first bass guitar not really caring about the sound becouse i never played before.I just seen this on the wall and new i would look good playing that. The whole guitar has great qulitys i was amazed at the price i got it for after i heard the sound that it maid but now ive been playing for a little over a yaer and im in a band, so that tells you that it was perfect for a begginer and also perfect for a band. actually i thought and thought of what not to like and i could not think of anything not to like. it is a great model that was built with a lot of thought and qulity this is a one of a kind bass that is great whether you are a begginer or you are an active bass player this bass rocks!!!
