Jump into the deep end with this affordable 5-string beauty from ESP.
Much like its 4-string brother the ESP B-104, the LTD B-105 is short on scale, but big on great sound. Its extra string allowes you to delve even deeper into the barrel of bass grooves. Its dual ESP SB-5 pickups w/ESP ABQ-2 2-band active EQ capture the bright tones created by the basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Style-wise this 5-string bass also has thick, beveled edges which accentuate the body's rounded curves. The upper horn is elongated while a deep cutaway along the much smaller lower horn gives you better access to the lowest of the 24 XJ frets. It's also got a unique angular cut at the end of the fretboard, underneath the strings, a shapely headstock, and chrome hardware, which give this bass exceptional flair.

Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
this guitar is amazing especially for the price. I have been playing bass for a little over a year now and have had 3 basses since I started and this one is without a doubt the best one so far. It is very comfortable and easy to play. it has great sound and just all around fun to play. i would recommend this bass to anyone. The color isn't exactly what the picture portrays. The color is more of a dark almost forest green rather than the teel color in the picture, or i got the wrong color but that's no big deal.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
When I saw this sitting in a local store, I just had to have it. The finish, action, and being active sold me without listening to it play. Once i got it home and plugged it in and got it tuned, my sound and tone have never been the same. This bass has the ability to be subtle, light, loud, punchy, howling and growling. It is so easy to turn this thing up and just punch a crowd in the teeth as it is to just sit back and make them dance to the groove. it is so responsive for being an inexpensive bass. I'm so glad I picked this bass up. I'm currently taking advantage of the 6 bold neck using a set of warwick black label dark lord string. the low end is a .175 up to a .085, it's only a four string set so i bought an extra .065 for the top. It easily handles these strings for my gcgcf tuning. i had to adjust the neck however for these strings and a bridge modification. If you budget is on the low side you cannot go wrong with this bass, it has the power and diversity for any sound you want.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
I just recently purchased this bass and let me tell ya, it's amazing. I've played many different basses, but once this beast landed in my hands I don't think I'll be playing another anytime soon. I would recommend this bass to anyone who loves and plays bass.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
I played this before at a friend's house and it gets a very versatile tone. The treble and bass boosters can be adjusted to get pretty much any sound you want without the need to mess with the amp settings very much. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a great inexpensive 5 string.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
This bass really suprised me. First off, in person it is very dark, almost graphite looking. The neck and fretboard are so great and so comfortable. It is a physically light bass, probably lighter than alot of Ibanez BTB basses.The pickups make this tone sound better than Music Man 5 strings that I have played. The bass boost is clear and doesn't block out the true tone like other active basses. The treble boost is good too except it buzzes like crazy, maybe it just the one I got but who knows? Anyways, I had never owned an ESP before and it is flat out the best instrument I have owned/heard. So before you consider Fender, Ibanez, Music Man, or G&L, turn to ESP.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
Picking out my first 5 string bass wasn't an easy decision. I had to find something that would give me a good sound and add alot of kick to my bass playing, but i also needed something in my budget, so when i found this esp bass, i knew that i had to have it! When i started to mess around with different sounds, i found that i really liked the pickups on the bass. They sound great with distortion and they really add of boost when i'm playing with my band. So this is definetley a great bass for its price and good for bassists just starting with a 5 string.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
Overall a really great bass especially for the price. However I am not the craziest about how the soapbar style pickups sound(they lack the "punch) and it would have been nice to have a pick up selector overall great bass though especially considering that it has active pickups and the fretboard is awesome
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
I bought this bass to replace my 4-string Kona bass. What a major improvement! The deep tone itself will make a fall in love. The color is real nice, its darker in person than in a picture. With mine, I had two problems. One, is a "miner" problem, the bass comes with bad action. The strings are way to faraway from the fretboard. But no biggy, that can be fixed easy. The second one, major. The clear coating on the neck had a chip. After playing it at two gigs, it got bigger. Finally, I took it to a pro who found dipoles all along the neck. Had to sent it back, but now, my new one is PERFECT! Try comparing this bass with the Ibanez SS's for just about the same price. This bass is way better then Ibanez
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
I own a ESP F-405 which I use for shows and recording, but was looking for something to keep in the garage to simply practice on. And this bass was worth every penny. The only problem I've encountered with it is slight buzzing when tuned in full step down. This was solved by upgrading the strings. Besides that one slight flaw this bass is dang near show or studio quality. I would highly recomend this bass to anyone looking to learn to play or who is looking to experiment with a GOOD 5-string.
Comments about ESP LTD B-105 5-String Bass Guitar:
I bought this bass about a month ago to replace my 4 string Washburn T12. This is the second bass that I have owned and is a HUGE improvement over my crappy Washburn. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted a 5 string, as I had never played one before, but I am glad I decided to take a chance and buy it.This bass has an excellent tone and it looks awesome, although I kind of wish that the finish was a bit more...vibrant, but not a big deal.Also, it is unfortunate that the price rose shortly after I bought it, but even at its new price it is still a great value.
