ESP LTD M-4 Black Metal Bass Guitar - Black Satin

Tailor-made for Laying Down Sinister Grooves
The ESP LTD M-4 Black Metal is aptly named. This 4-string electric bass guitar boasts blacked-out hardware, a black pickup cover, an inlay-less fingerboard, and a black metal LTD headstock logo. To top off its brooding look, the LTD M-4 Black Metal's balanced-sounding slab-style alder body is covered in a dark satin finish. As for tone, let's just say that this bass's active EMG humbucker churns out enough high-output punch to rattle the walls. Wrapping your hand around the LTD M-4 Black Metal's Thin "U"-shaped neck is a satiating experience, and its smooth 21-fret fingerboard offers playability that's second to none. The LTD M-4 Black Metal includes high-quality Grover tuners, a Gotoh bridge, and glow-in-the-dark side markers. If you're ready to lay down some sinister grooves, the LTD M-4 Black Metal is ready, willing, and able to oblige.



EMG 35CS humbucker elicits modern, hard-hitting tones
If you're aiming for modern, hard-hitting bass tones, the LTD M-4 Black Metal is up to the task, by virtue of its active EMG 35CS humbucker. The bassists here at Sweetwater have found that the 35CS tames the higher frequencies in your bass tone, while its dual, ceramic magnet-loaded coils and steel poles elicit warmth, punch, and enough hammer-smashing output to hold down the bottom in a busy, aggressive arrangement. You'll also appreciate EMG's low-noise preamp. Thanks to its EMG 35CS humbucker, no metal subgenre is too extreme for the LTD M-4 Black Metal.






Thin "U" neck for excellent control, stability, and playability
Playing the ESP LTD M-4 Black Metal is a treat. Its Thin "U"-shaped neck yields excellent control and stability, and its 34-inch scale offers a classic, familiar feel. This electric bass guitar's 15.75-inch-radius fingerboard exhibits near-effortless playability that's augmented by 21 smooth extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. What's more, an inlay-less fretboard gives the LTD M-4 Black Metal a menacing aesthetic that's guaranteed to attract attention. The LTD M-4 Black Metal also features a molded nut and rock-solid 4-bolt construction.




Jam-packed with pro-quality hardware
The LTD M-4 Black Metal is laden with high-quality appointments. Its Gotoh 201B-4 bridge affords you reliable intonation; its brass saddles resist string wear and foster incredible natural sustain. Grover tuners and standard strap buttons round out this 4-string electric bass's impressive feature set.
