Primed for Fast-paced Performance

The ESP LTD FB-4 Frank Bello Bass was designed with the help of the Anthrax bass player to create a precision instrument with aggressive tone. Two EMG active pickups give you a wide dynamic range with incredibly low noise. The PX pickup in the mid position utilizes short, squat coils for give you warmth and impact with high-end articulation. The JX pickup at the bridge boasts tight, mid-rich punch with a more modern sound. And with volume, balance, and tone controls, you can cover a lot of tonal territory with the ESP LTD FB-4 Frank Bello Bass.

Try this ESP LTD Signature series solidbody electric guitar. You'll be amazed.

Round, vintage tone from the PX split-coil pickup

Turn to the ESP LTD FB-4's active PX pickup for warm, vintage P Bass tone. Its character is round and bouncy, while maintaining plenty of articulation too. The active design gives you increased headroom and ultra-low noise performance.

Focused, modern tone from the JX single-coil pickup

A perfect complement to the PX pickup, the JX pickup at the bridge position gives you a more modern sound with plenty of midrange richness. Any Sweetwater bassist will tell you the jazz bass sound is perfect for cutting through a dense mix, adding punch and impact to the round fullness of the PX pickup. Best of all, EMG's active preamp gives you more headroom and lower noise than a passive single-coil pickup can provide.

  • Signature four-string bass designed with help from Frank Bello (Anthrax)
  • Fast, smooth feel from the ebony fretboard with 12" radius
  • Increased headroom and low-noise from EMG active pickups
