| 2003 Seymour Duncan (ESP) DPB-280 1962 Fender Lake Placid Blue Precision Bass w/Matching Headstock Replica Includes Original ESP Hardshell Case & Documentation $1,750.00 |
Wow is what everyone says when they see this bass up close. Not only is it a rare model from a rare brand, but it is the
highest-end bass the company ever made. I purchased it from a friend who works at Big Boss Freaks Market in Tokyo.
I told him I wanted to buy the best, highest-end bass made in Japan, and I was thinking he would recommend a Navigator,
but he said he knew of a special bass he might be able to get for me. He said it wasn't for sale to the public since it was
so rare and was made for a promotional event to celebrate ESP's contract with Seymour Duncan. He said it was made
specially for this event and had been made to higher standards than even the regular DPB-280 models, which are in and
of themselves, very rare. Well, this is it! Hand-signed by Seymour Duncan himself during the promotional visit, it is the
most amazing pice of functional art I've ever seen in the bass world of Japanese guitars. The fretboard is a special
Jacaranda rosewood that is carved up by hand at the edge of each fret - yes, the rosewood fingerboard has fret-edge
binding in the rosewood! The finish is 100% nitro and you will never have a nicer P-Bass in your hands.
