ESP LTD PHOENIX-1004 Bass in Tobacco Sunburst Satin B-Stock
The PHOENIX-1004 captures articulate, punchy bass tones in the studio with its neck-thru construction and warm mahogany body that sustains effortlessly across the 34" scale. The thin U-shaped neck contour and Macassar ebony fingerboard with 15.75-inch radius support both rapid fingerwork and complex grooves without fatigue, translating directly to fluid session performance and precise tracking. This is a meticulously finished instrument that balances classic aesthetics with modern electronics and professional-grade hardware.
Construction & Tonal Foundation
Neck-thru-body construction with a 5-piece mahogany/walnut neck ensures superior sustain and seamless upper-fret access, while the mahogany body wings deliver warm, resonant tone with rich harmonic complexity ideal for layering in the mix. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 400mm radius provides a smooth, durable playing surface that maintains its feel through years of use and maintains consistency across recording sessions.
Recording Electronics & Tone Shaping
Dual Fishman Fluence SB-1 pickups deliver exceptional clarity and broad tonal range, with switchable single-coil mode via pull tone function for expanded sonic versatility across sessions. Separate neck and bridge volume controls paired with a master tone knob (push/pull function) enable detailed sound shaping for sculpting the bass tone in context with drum and guitar tracks.
