i purchsed this esp b-15 6yrs back n still using it...im using it regularly on stage & sometimes for recordings n still it is in mint condition.. The LTD B-15 bass starts with a basswood body, complemented by a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard that begs to be played. The thin U neck contour is easy on the beginner's hands, along with extra-jumbo frets that help you find the right note with ease.
