ESP LTD TA-604 Tom Araya FRX Bass Black B-Stock

The ESP LTD TA-604 Tom Araya Signature Bass in Black Satin is designed for serious metal bassists seeking power, precision, and stage-ready reliability. Created in collaboration with Tom Araya of Slayer, this bass delivers crushing low-end tones with neck-thru-body construction, a three-piece maple neck, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard. Featuring 24 extra-jumbo frets, Slayer pentagram inlays, and EMG 35DC active pickups, the TA-604 is optimized for aggressive playing styles and ultimate performance in both studio and live settings.

Why It Stands Out

The ESP LTD TA-604 Tom Araya FRX Bass is engineered for extreme metal performance, combining neck-thru construction, premium tonewoods, and EMG 35DC pickups for unparalleled sustain and aggressive tonal response.

Ideal for bassists who demand high-output tone and reliability in both live and studio environments.
