ESP LTD B-104 Sample/Prototype Bass Guitar

The B-104 has only ever been offered in MP (midnight purple) ESP started making the B-104 in 2008 and is still available today but only in the midnight purple. I dont know what year this sample was built in. It is a sample/preproduction guitar. ESP makes the samples to test out various colors, finishes and to show to dealers prior to the actual model being built. They take them to shows like NAMM and start taking preorders for the new years model. Some Samples are never make it into production models.
