Description
Sound & Tone
The 35" scale and bolt-on maple neck give this bass a tight, well-defined low end with strong sustain, keeping the lowest notes clear rather than muddy. Passive ESP Designed SB-4 pickups at neck and bridge, run through Volume/Balance/Tone, deliver a focused, articulate voice that can be blended from rounder neck-position weight to a more cutting bridge attack, while the basswood body keeps the overall character direct and midrange-forward. The thin U neck, 24 extra-jumbo frets and flatter 400mm radius suit fast picking and aggressive right-hand work, making it a natural fit for thrash, metal and hard rock where the bass needs to punch through a dense guitar mix.
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 engineered to capture aggressive, articulate bass lines with exceptional clarity and sustain. This signature model channels serious low-end intensity, combining a lightweight basswood body with robust hardware and passive electronics for transparent, uncolored signal path. The black satin finish and pentagram inlays complete a studio-ready aesthetic.
Playability & Recording Response
A thin U neck contour with 24 extra-jumbo frets and 400mm fingerboard radius enable precise intonation and fast position shifts across the entire 35" scale. The 40mm nut width and roasted jatoba fingerboard provide the stability needed for consistent tracking takes and aggressive technique in the session environment.
Tone & Tracking Character
ESP Designed SB-4 pickups (SB-4N at neck, SB-4B at bridge) paired with passive Volume/Balance/Tone controls deliver focused, articulate low-end separation that sits cleanly in dense mixes without digital intervention. The LTD BB-604 bridge and black hardware ensure solid intonation stability and direct tonal transfer through the bolt-on construction for reliable multi-take tracking.
