ESP LTD Tom Araya TA-204 FRX Electric Bass Black Satin

ESP LTD Tom Araya TA-204 FRX Electric Bass Black Satin

The TA-204 FRX delivers a thin, fast neck profile and a 35" extended scale that rewards aggressive playing with clarity and sustain. This signature model channels the low-end intensity Slayer demands, combining a lightweight basswood body with robust hardware and passive electronics for straightforward, no-frills performance. The black satin finish and pentagram inlays make the aesthetic commitment unmistakable.

Playability & Feel

A thin U neck contour with 24 extra-jumbo frets and 400mm fingerboard radius enable fast position shifts and aggressive technique across the entire 35" scale. The 40mm nut width and roasted jatoba fingerboard provide a stable, modern feel that cuts through dense mix scenarios.

Tone & Electronics

ESP Designed SB-4 pickups (SB-4N at neck, SB-4B at bridge) paired with passive Volume/Balance/Tone controls deliver a focused, articulate low end without digital interference. The LTD BB-604 bridge and black hardware ensure solid intonation and tonal transfer through the bolt-on construction.
