ESP AP-230SL Bass with Hipshot X-Tender - Made in Japan 2001

ESPs high end Original Series and Custom Shop basses rarely make it to Australia, but in Japan stand against the best of the best bass makers and are just as coveted. To buy this bass as a new instrument today would be in the order of $6,000+. A phenomenal piece of ash is the centrepiece of this huge sounding instrument, with a weight to match. The pickup configuration of dual Seymour Duncan Basslines, along with a host of onboard tonal options makes this bass one of the most versatile instruments possible. The Seymour Duncan STC-3M3 EQ lets you shape your frequency response, whilst the 'Slap Switch" throws an earth shattering amount of beef into the equation. The 3 way switch lets you swap between Series/Parallel/Coil Split on the 2 humbuckers.

There is a small piece of the back of the body connecting into the control cavity that has cracked off at some point, however this is purely a cosmetic flaw and the bass is in otherwise perfect condition.
