        Very pleasantly surprised at the quality I got for such a low price. I personally never liked Basses with active pickups and this one fits me to a T.

          Comments about ESP LTD B-15 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:

          Before getting this bass, I had a really cheap 4-string Dean bass guitar. The pickup on the Dean is really weak, and there is a slight buzz. The build isn't top notch, and the electronics needed repair/soldering.

          Thus when I got this 5-string bass for LESS than my 4-string Dean, I wasn't expecting much. Boy was I surprised. The build quality is way above and beyond the Dean, and the sound is so much better. It actually has a real "punch" and "growl" that the Dean is lacking.

          If there is one thing I don't like about this bass is the tone control knob. The knob gives the illusion that the tone gradually changes, but it doesn't. It's either one way or the other. However, the tone either way is so good, it really doesn't bother me.

          Having an extra lower B string really makes a difference. With this string you can play a lower C and especially a lower D! D can finally played in octaves without going too high. The only drawback of course to a 5-string is getting used to finding the right string among 5 instead of 4. Also the fact that the strings are closer to each other, but it's just a matter of getting used to it.

          If you need a 5-string bass to your collection, this is definitely the one to get. With a good sale on Musician's friend, you can get this bass for about 1.6 Benjamins...an awesome value.

            What can I say that hasn't already been said? Awesome. I was looking for a cheap backup bass and stumble upon this one. After reading the reviews, with this price, I went for it and I'm very glad I did. Like the other reviews said, great sound and action for such a low price. Excellent product, if I ever decide to replace my main bass I will be looking at other ESP products for sure. Thanks ESP and thanks to those who convinced me to buy it.

            Comments about ESP LTD B-15 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:

            I am primarily a guitarist and picked this up for strictly recording purposes. Very happy with it so far(one month). Have used it to add bass to a few tracks and it sounds great through my Line 6 pod Farm presets. I cannot attest to playing out with it in live venues or through bass amps however. As for playability, it came setup perfectly from MF, intonation spot on and action just right for me (low). Having a blast just playing it unplugged as it has a good acoustic tone and resonates well. Seems very well made, I got the natural brown and it seems like good quality wood, not heavy, not too light and well balanced with the 24 fret neck which I love- smooth feel and frets seem to be finsihed nicely, no buzzing other than to be expected by the low B which is really unavoidable with that low of a note and heavy gauge string. Came with Cleartone strings- nice! One thing to think about- if you are rough with your gear, this type of finish will chip and dent rather easily, not having the clear coat of the white or black finishes to protect the body. My headstock color matches the body which I prefer and was pleasantly surprised to find when I unpacked it. For this price I am VERY happy- it is lots of fun to play and serves my purposes well. Again, I have not gigged with it but I'm pretty confident it would hold up just fine. On the downside, being very picky here- some bassists may want more tonal options than the one pickup provides and the fret inlay at the 12th fret-could live without that- or instead of "B-15" how about ESP or LTD? Other than that, I am loving this bass and hope this helps you decide.

              I own this bass, It's amazing I love it, it plays amazing and has amazing sound espescially with dr black beauties. I haven't been exactly nice to mine and it still works great and the pick-ups still sound new it's deffinately worth the buy.

              Comments about ESP LTD B-15 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:

              A very good bass for the price!
              white finish, single p bass style pickup, volume and tone. simple but solid. all you need. bought as used- a few nicks and bumps but not bad. set up fine, needed a little adjusting of the bridge for intonation and off we go! Nice 5 string bass for the $. this is the 6th 5 string bass i have owned and i would put it over the washburn and ibanez i had in the past.
