Edwards E-PB-83/M Bass Black 2012
Edwards E-PB-83/M, black, made in Japan 2012. Edwards is the vintage style division of ESP Guitars, so they offer Fender and Gibson inspired designs with some modern functionalities and millimetre-perfect Japanese build quality. This is a take on the classic 50s style P-bass, so you get some vintage appoinments: spiral saddle bridge, ano guard, cloud-style tuners, mildly chunky neck with a maple board and a vintage tint and an alder body. You also get some modern touches: a great Seymour Duncan pickup with a coil-tap to run in series or parallel, tall frets and a flatter board and a nitro topcoat finish to give it that 'wears in quickly' feel. It's a great sounding bass: heaps of punch, rounded lows, warm snarly mids and a snappy treble, especially in parallel mode. The neck is a great piece of maple and feels really intuitive in the hands. The black-on-black finish looks great too, it's understated and classy while still being just a little mean. Those who know what they are looking at here will be very tempted: this is a great bass!
