ESP - Edwards EJB130R 3 Tone Sunburst

Take a look at this Edwards EJB130R electric bass. Its 3-Tone Sunburst finish is more than just a cover, it's the promise of an instrument that has already lived a thousand lives on stage. Take it in hand. Can you feel the solidity? The alder body and bolt-on hard maple neck form a block as stable as your favourite drummer's groove. The bone nut is the detail that makes all the difference, for a tuning that holds its own even when you hit the strings a little hard.

Let's talk sound, because in the end, that's why we're here. The Seymour Duncan SJB-1s are the same as those used in basses costing three times as much. Turn the selector to the bridge pickup and you've got that punchy attack, perfect for a funk bass line that'll get heads bobbing. Switch to the neck pickup and you've got warm, round bass that fills the space without ever getting muddy. The tone control is your best bet in the studio for softening the highs just right.

The Gotoh bridge and GB29 tuners are a bit like having a Formula 1 crew on your bass. The tuning remains rock-solid, and the strings rest on a bone saddle for a sustain that seems to defy the laws of physics. You can go from gig to gig without worrying about constant re-tuning.

This is the bass for you if you're tired of struggling with your gear and want an instrument that responds from the first note. Whether you're working on a rock project or a long studio session, the EJB130R becomes an extension of your musical ideas. It's simple: once you've tried it, you won't understand how you did it before!
