DISC ESP Tom Araya FRX, Black Satin

Full Description

Loaded With a Pair of EMG 35DC Pickups

This Signature Tom Araya Bass is powered by a pair of EMG 35DC pickups at the middle and bridge positions. The 35DC pickups are incredibly powerful, and they deliver modern-sounding bass tones. Made with ceramic bar magnets, the EMG 35DC's produce a punchy yet crystal clear tone. With an array of tones, ranging from sparkling and clean, to growling lows, the EMG 35DC's provide excellent versatility.

Crafted With an Alder Body

Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. The alder body is perfect for playing a wide range of musical styles, with its excellent sustain and resonance ensuring each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and thick midrange sets up the foundation of the guitar's overall tone, allowing players to achieve the perfect sounds for their own style.

Maple Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

The ESP Tom Araya Bass Guitar's maple neck offers a comfortable and smooth feel when navigating the fingerboard. The maple neck produces bright tones with good clarity, and it is paired with an ebony fingerboard that brings snappy attack and exceptional clarity to the overall tone. Its thin U-shaped profile is perfect for quick shredding, and the neck-through construction provides an advanced sustain and resonance.
