Heyy all!
So I had a visual programming class yesterday, and I was bored so I decided to check out IKUO's blog. I found this :
I went gaga. First was because finally people can buy the bass that is similar to his LONG WAY 190 Red bass. Second, he look HAWT in that pic lol. The fella worked again with ESP to produce this bass which is practically the siblings of his LONG WAY 190 one. You might ask, why "Edwards" then? Well, Edwards is ESP brand made only for Japanese market. ESP and Edwards are produced in different factories, and Edward's quality is said to be equal with ESP originals. The difference was in the hardware as stated by Wiki.
Too bad they don't produce the red one, it means no LED lights, and no 190 on the fretboard on the Edwards. Well, the red one is his signature model and it's ESP not Edwards. The Edwards' pickups are Seymour Duncan with active circuits, same like the red one. Those two have different body, the red one is swap ash while Edwards has alder body. You can check out the complete specs HERE. I don't know how does it sound though, and It's sad that the color options are verrrryyy limited and those Edwards aren't as sophisticated as the red one. The price is quite reasonable, which is around RM4000. If they were to sell the red version, hmmmmm. I think it'll cost much more than that... Btw, here's the red one..
Oh yah, what I meant by the LED lights and 190 on the fret board was this..
Awesome rite? Heehehe.. I hope people will buy it, play with it and then post it on Youtube so I can listen to the sound... Btw, last time IKUO was endorsed by ESP and he had quite a number of basses made. You can check out the his bass gallery HERE complete with their specs.
Alllriiight, 1 sizzling pic of him to end the post ^^LOL
