The ESP "Jerk" Model?

[markD]

this isn't about the jerk model....BUT some dude named tetsu's ESP signature model bass....



does this look like a jackson anti-gravity bass with a brian moore headstock to anybody else?

It looks pretty nice. Most of the upper end Japanese ESPs I've played have had really good fretwork.

It's got the reverse Horizon headstock, but damn that thing is hideous, I don't see anyone buying that.

Steve Martin could outplay you !

With all the crazy "inspired by" stuff that Gibson puts out, I'm surprised no one in their marketing department has come up with an inspired by Steve Martin banjo.

I think he usually plays an old Gibson Mastertone when he performs.

Jerk = Eddie VanHalen

ESP bought Kramer back in the mid '80s and when EVH found out, he stopped endorsing them. Anybody remember when Eddie played Kramer Barettas?

The "Mr. Scary" guy who used to have the two-toned hair? :ROTF:

My vote is on this one, remember his "jerk-off" technique, which he apparently named after being put on the spot by a Jap interviewer wanting to know what his vibrato technique was called?

ESP never owned Kramer.
ESP MADE Kramer necks, hence why Lynch moved to ESP, when he found out they made kramers necks. He'd asked Kramer to change the neck on his guitars and they couldn't do it, they then revealed to him they were made by ESP. When next in Japan Lynch stopped by an ESP store, the rest is history.

I want one! How much is 231,000yen??

If it had candy cane stripes and cigarette burns, about $25K ! lol
