Tom Araya Bass

[buzzsaww]

TA-600, TA-200
Any experiences, opinions, good or bad?
The prices bother me though, ESP seems to have raised the price son all their LTD's lately.

Re: Tom Araya Bass

I played one. I thought it was really heavy, and the strings were too close together. It didn't sound like it would hold up while playing with other instruments either. It had too much of a low frequency sound. You know what i mean? like when you turn up the bass on your eq, and turn everything else down? That's what it sounded like to me, no matter how much i played with the dial controls on any of the amps.

Other than that, it had good action, and looked cool.

ESp didn't raised their prices.. they lowered them actually on various models.. for example the Ex series and Viper series..

The signature series seem more expensive but the specs are better (on the 600 series).
The Jeff Hanneman is indeed higher than before..

The TA-600 is awesome, seriously. if you like the look of the guitar I'd say go for it..
The TA-200 is a lot worse..
