I recently aquired my 2018 used E-II BTL-4 from a seller in Japan and it's a fine instrument. The only problem I've found is there doesn't seem to be an owner's manual available on ESP's website. The manual that is available seems to be pretty generic and covers all their guitars and basses, but it's dated 2009. The card in the case is all in Japanese, not surprisingly, but it would've helped if it was also in English. The EQ seems to be the opposite from my Ibanez basses so I keep turning the wrong control at the moment. This could be awkward if I need to switch basses during a gig. 

I'm also getting a bit of noise from the volume pot when turning up and down and a few sprays of contact cleaner hasn't solved the issue. This is disappointing for a supposedly high quality instrument and it might need a visit to my local guitar tech to look at it.

      Playing her for three months. Can't believe how superior she is compared to other bass in the same price range. Just wanted to say thanks.

                Hey Devin, I can't speak for all of his instruments but I know he has one of those.
