Steve Lane, a brand manager at CMI (ESP's Australia distributor), is also an excellent bass player, and we were stoked to receive this demo of the ESP Amaze-AS-SL5 bass in See Thru White finish. Like all ESP Original Series instruments, the Amaze is handcrafted at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. It features a swamp ash body with bolt-on construction at 35” scale, and offers a hard maple neck with compound radius, a maple fingerboard, and top-tier components like a bone nut, Gotoh tuners, Gotoh bridge w/string thru body, and an ESP Custom Lab CL-P-J5 pickup set with volume (push/pull for preamp thru), balance, and 3-band EQ controls.
