Multi-scale guitars (or, in this case, basses) have historically garnered polarizing opinions. On one side, you have players who believe a fanned-fret configuration optimizes the tonal response of each string and makes for improved string-to-string tension. Opponents feel that the sweeping fret layout is nothing more than a gimmick, arguing that a well-constructed instrument with a conventional fretboard design provides the same structural and sonic benefits, without hindering traditional playing technique.
Despite these differing views, there are an increasing number of bass builders developing multi-scale instruments. ESP is one, and they recently entered the ring with the introduction of the B-1005SE Multi-Scale. Part of their more affordable LTD series, it’s a stylish multi-scale instrument that boasts active electronics and solid components.
ESP’s fan-fretted bass hints at their signature looks, but adds a measure of boutique sophistication. While the sharp angles of the headstock might at first glance imply the B-1005SE is a bass for more aggressive music, the shapely instrument is aesthetically suitable for a variety of stages.
For those new to the world of multi-scale instruments, observe the angle of the nut and then check out the angle of the bridge. This positioning allows the bass to achieve different string scales ranging from 37″ on the 5th string down to 34″ on the 1st. Fret positioning must compensate for the varying lengths, which results in a fanned fretboard. As mentioned, this design maximizes string tension, and when done correctly, delivers consistency in feel and tone.

This notch is for the neck not splitting in two gibson esque style
Ie define peer specifically prove difference.
Hey guys, hate to do this but im looking for some feedback on my first few covers- check them out; id love it 🙂
Between this and a Dingwall NG-2 is a hard choice!! Opinions???
Always comical when non-musicians trying to play bass!
I found very funny the guy saying “tje tje tje” at 1:01 haha
Trying HARD to make a cheap-ass bass seem like a quality bass. HAH!
If you can’t afford a Dingwall… at least go for the Ibanez.
Get a Dingwall!
Intellectually I see the reasoning behind fanned frets, but practically it seems a gimmick. Nice demo 🙂
Coke?
it has a rosewood top on the body
one small tweek your playing a 5 string bass so anyone watching is interested in the B string more than any other aspect of this bass. By the way an NG-2 cost 300 to 400 hundred more
mmmm, nice Bass..!! Great demo Steve..!!
As a Dingwall Combustion owner, I am always curious about similar instruments. This looks killer, but doesn’t sound killer. Every Dingwall video I have seen has better tone.
Nice playing dude.
First of all, great sounding bass. Really nice, seems well built.
Second, want a towel, Steve?
The volute or the ramp on the opposite side of the nut is not for the thumb but to increase the strength at the nut where many necks break (like Gibsons).
very cool bass..the price though, ouch..$1,400
high? great bass but this guy better be on something otherwise he is just extremely annoying.
terrible mic placement!!! and you could use a little compression on your mix!!!
I love the ESP basses with Seymour Duncan PU’s. Not a fan of Nordstrom, or I would’ve bought this model, too. I’ll pass…
Did ibanez release the srff800s before esp made this?
This thing costs more then a Dingwall, who started this whole fanned fret stuff.
Just get a Dingwall NG2 in a cool color, they sound better anyways.
What an undersell. Great bass.
I always find it annoying when reviewers dont have any riffs/licks/melodies at all prepared before they do the review, how are we supposed to make anything out of the different settings if its just random shitty sounding improvisations all the time…
Silver toggle switches… why?!?!?
A real beauty and sounds really nice!!!
Sounds in dire need of a setup
Вот это дизайн!.. Напоминает игровой объект “Икона рока” из “Симс 3”!
