Another bass guitar

Guess what? I bought myself another bass guitar this week as my previous guitar - a Tanglewood 5-string bass - was very old and the action (the height of the strings above the fretboard) was way too high! I tried to adjust the neck truss rod, but there was just no more play in the truss rod available, and so the action remained VERY high (we're talking about 1 full centimetre above the strings! Basically unplayable!)

So, my new bass is an ESP Ltd series - B405SM. A gorgeous bass guitar in a natural wood finish with beautiful flecks of grain running though the wood. The bass plays beautifully (although it still needs a little set-up as the low E and B strings are bguzzing quite a lot!) and the tone of the instrument is full of character, a mixture of magic and grunt! I'll upload a picture of the guitar as soon as my camera is repaired!
