The instruments in the range are the best that the ESP-LTD sub-factory has to offer. These instruments with a rather traditional design will impress you at first sight with their very successful design, but you will be equally impressed by their sound, workmanship and playing comfort. Among the basses of the AP series, you can find instruments of different setups and price ranges, so if you are looking for an instrument with a piercing sound and perfect design, you will find yours here.
This bass is constructed with a solid alder body to which a maple neck is bolted. The ebony fingerboard is fitted with mother of pearl inlays. The scale of the instrument is extended to 863 mm, there are 21 XJ-type frets, the width of the zero fret is measured at 38 mm. The neck profile corresponds to the Thin U, so it is a very comfortable and fast neck.
The instrument is equipped with a humbucker, to which active electronics are attached. The pickup is sourced from EMG and is subsequently linked to the Volume, Balance and Tone controls. Thanks to these electronics, it's no problem to set up the exact sound that suits you and that pushes through the band's sound.
The strings are anchored in the Babicz FCH-4's tailpiece, and on the other side go through a standard zero fret into Grover pickups, which are also from ESP. This setup ensures great vibration transfer from the strings to the body, and therefore a solid tonal tone and long sustain. Stability of tuning is a matter of course. The hardware is in black nickel-plated finish.
The ESP-LTD AP-4BKM is therefore a quality instrument, the engagement of which will certainly not be a mistake. If you're looking for a bass that will last and never let you down, give this model a try.
