With artist such as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Alexi Laiho, Richie Sambora, Tom Araya and many more ESP Guitars ensure every one of their guitars is a high performance and professional musical instrument.

Octave Strings

The ESP LTD FB-208 is based on the iconic B-Series basses which incorporate 4 thinner octave strings bellow each normal string to allow unique and exciting melodic overtones. The addition of the 4 octave strings also create a full and bright shine to the tone whilst still remaining as simple to play as a standard 4 string bass guitar.

Balance & 3-Band EQ

Also featuring a versatile 3-band eq the FB-208 allows you to fine tune and tweak your tone with the on board treble, middle, and low cut/boost controls whilst the balance control provides the ability to blend the output from the bridge and neck pickup.
