ESP LTD B-204DX 4-String Bass Guitar – Red Burst

The B-204DX delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin U-contour neck and roasted maple construction. This active 4-string bass sits solidly in the player's hands with its 34" scale and poplar body topped with burled poplar, offering a balanced platform for both precise technical work and expressive low-end playing.

Playability & Build

The roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and thin U neck contour makes this bass approachable for extended sessions, while the 400mm fingerboard radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets support smooth string bending and navigating the lower registers. 40mm nut width and 34" bolt-on scale provide a familiar, time-tested foundation for four-string bass playing.

Tone & Electronics

The paired ESP SB-4 neck and bridge pickups feed an active electronics circuit with dedicated Volume/Balance/Bass/Treble controls, giving you sculpted tonal range from punchy mids to extended low-end authority. LTD DB-4 fixed bridge and LTD tuners ensure stable intonation and reliable tuning retention.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.
