Bass of the Day: LTD Surveyor 87′ Rainbow Crackle
While ESP began as a tiny repair company in Tokyo in 1975, it wasn’t until the mid-’80s that their basses caught the attention of players all around the world. The LTD Surveyor ’87 Series is a realistic reproduction of ESP’s 1987 range of instruments.
The LTD Surveyor ’87 is a well-deserved return to the spotlight for the famed ESP Surveyor form. The Surveyor ’87 is a 34″ scale bolt-on design with an alder body, maple neck, and Macassar ebony fingerboard. Thanks to the alder body It boasts a considerable low-end resonance and a mid-frequency punch that just erupts the notes off the fingerboard.
A Gotoh 201-B4 bridge and a Seymour Duncan Vintage P/J pickup combination are among the high-end components of this bass. This instrument also comes in regular Black and Pearl White colorways but the one that caught our eye was the Rainbow Crackle finish which gives a full-on rock ‘n’ roll attitude to this bass. Furthermore, to complete the exciting look of this bass, it also boasts eye-catching deep black hardware.
