Carl, I would love to put a hipshot on the Surveyor bass I bought. Can It be done, and which do you recommend?

Unfortunately we do not test the fit of aftermarket bridges on our instruments, might be best to have a professional handle this replacement for you if you are unfamiliar with this kind of work

Hi, I have a Kickass on my MIJ Jackson and I measured the screws' distance, and it seems like the mounting holes are in the same position as on the Gotoh 201. So I will change it also.

The only things that I'm stucked about, are the "cheapo - china- o" tuners, I couldn't find a decent Hipshot that could fit to the exsisting holes on the headstock... Maybe the HB-7, the BT-7 and a luthier could help but I'm not sure because of the tuners' baseplate's length.

I was thinking the same thing, so I just called Hipshot C/S and asked. They said the proper drop-D tuner for the Surveyor would be their GB5 model, which unfortunately has been discontinued. Hope that helps!

Could a standard precision bass pickguard fit on these or is it specific for this model? I have a mirror pickguard and was wondering if it would fit on it.

Carl N.

It would be best to have one specifically made for this, pickguards can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer so we cannot guarantee the fit of aftermarket pickguards on our instruments.

Hi, a  "made for Fender Prec." pickguard won't fit on these, you will need to drill some holes or leave it as is (with th 1 ply matte 'guard).

Just got my black Surveyor 87 bass guitar today, It looks and feels absolutely insane. Thanks ESP for making such killer guitars!

Glad you are enjoying it

Does this go for other models like the Ltd ec-1000 in blue natural fade for example?

These models are not region specific.

Hello, is this bass no available in Canada as a lefty? Even though it says it’s available as one. When I called my local music store yesterday, the buyer told them it didn’t come in a lefty... 

Carl N.

These are being offered in left handed, this would not be region specific.  It would be best to inquire with your local ESP distributor for availability in your region.  If unavailable they could then import one for you.
