4-string electric bass with Seymour Duncan pickups and passive electronics
The ESP LTD Surveyor '87 Pearl White is a faithful reissue of the Surveyor Bass from 1987, the year in which the Japanese company's lineup took off in the rock and metal scene. Just like in the middle of the Wild '80s, this four-string bass features an alder body, while the bolt-on neckis made of maple and carries a Macassar ebony fretboard. The pleasant "Thin U" neck profile with 42 mm nut width offers great playability and room for clean fingering. The passive PJ pickup setup consisting of a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 split coilin the middle and a Seymour Duncan SJB-1b single coil at the bridge provides powerful and varied bass sounds that lay the right groove for almost any style of music. A high-quality Gotoh 201B-4 bass bridge and precise LTD vintage tuners complete the ESP LTD Surveyor '87.
The ESP LTD Surveyor '87 delivers powerful bass sounds with Seymour Duncan pickups and traditional passive circuitry.

Absolutely superb bass, impressive straight out of the box & even better with a bit of a set-up. Very good looking (I got it as I really miss a 2004 black/rosewood Precision I sold a long time ago) and it ranks right up there. Hardware very solid, pickups superb (surprisingly bright & aggressive).
Very much recommended, & not just for metallers!
