Description
Sound & Tone
The pairing of an ESP LPD at the neck and LJB at the bridge gives this bass two distinct voices — round, thick low end from the neck position and a tighter, more cutting attack at the bridge — with the balance control letting you blend anywhere between them. The active preamp's tone boost adds punch and presence on demand, while the poplar body and roasted maple neck on a 34" scale keep notes clear and defined with .045–.105 strings for solid low-string tension. It covers rock, pop, and funk fingerstyle work equally well, and the articulate midrange helps lines stay audible in a dense mix or a loud stage.
ESP LTD Surveyor-204DX 4-String Bass Guitar — Red Burst
The Surveyor-204DX is engineered for studio tracking and mixing work, delivering a lightweight platform built around a thin U-contour neck and 34" scale that minimizes fatigue during extended recording sessions. This active bass combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern playability, offering articulate tone and intuitive controls that translate cleanly to tape and digital audio interfaces.
Build & Recording Character
A resonant poplar body with burled poplar top sits atop a roasted maple neck fitted with a rosewood fingerboard and 21 extra-jumbo frets, yielding smooth, fast action across the 400mm radius that captures consistent finger detail across multiple takes. The bolt-on construction at 34" scale and thin U neck contour enable relaxed grip during long tracking sessions, while the 40mm nut width provides adequate spacing without excess width for four-string players to dial in precise articulation.
Tone Shaping & Studio Electronics
A pair of ESP LJB (bridge) and LPD (neck) pickups feeds an active electronics system featuring volume, balance, and tone boost controls, allowing flexible shaping from punchy lows to articulate mids that sit well in dense mixes. The LTD DB-4 fixed bridge and black hardware reinforce tuning stability across punch-in sessions and multiple takes, while factory-installed .045–.105 strings are optimized for the bass's tonal character and recording response.
