The ESP Guitar Company

Our friends at Premier Guitar magazine always do a thorough job with their product reviews. When we heard from them a number of months ago about an upcoming review on the LTD AP-204 bass, we were very happy about the opportunity for a bunch of PG readers to get to know one of the more affordable basses in our entire offerings. The updated AP-204 in its Dark Metallic Purple finish is part of our "New for 2021" collection, but a lot of the attention gets placed on the higher-end guitar and bass models, and there are plenty of bass players out there who need an instrument of the AP-204's quality level that's still within their budget.

Reviewer Victor Brodén seemed to really understand the value of the AP-204. He points out, "Casual inspection makes it easy to explain the solid feel of the instrument. The neck/body joint is tight, with no visible gap, and the bolt-on neck is affixed with six screws instead of four—a construction technique more commonly seen on higher-priced instruments."

"More than anything, I am impressed with the build, quality control, and finish on this LTD, which makes me more than a little curious about other offerings from the line. This AP-204 is clearly capable of delivering more than metal tones—and offers great value." - Victor Brodén reviewing the LTD AP-204 for Premier Guitar
