ESP LTD Surveyor-204DX Red Burst

ESP LTD Surveyor-204DX - a classic bass concept in modern LTD style!

The ESP LTD Surveyor-204DX draws on a time-honored ESP bass shape, combining it with modern materials and a versatile pickup configuration in the 200DX Series. Its Surveyor body shape is deliberately based on a familiar classic bass concept, while the striking figured poplar top gives it a distinctive LTD character. Beneath the figured top is a lightweight poplar body, while the bolt-on roasted maple neck carries on the instrument's modern direction. The Surveyor-204DX thus pairs traditional proportions with details that clearly establish it as a contemporary ESP LTD bass.

Roasted maple and classic long-scale length

The roasted maple neck has a Thin U profile and is paired with a rosewood fingerboard. Classic dot inlays keep the fingerboard's look understated. With a 34" scale length, the Surveyor-204DX follows the established long-scale standard, making it a familiar choice for classic and modern bass applications. The 400 mm fingerboard radius and 21 extra-jumbo frets underscore the modern LTD approach without abandoning the Surveyor platform's traditional character.

ESP LJB and LPB - two distinct pickup designs

ESP LTD pairs two different pickup types in the electronics. An ESP LJB Single Coil sits at the bridge, while an ESP LPB Split Coil is positioned at the neck. This combination brings together two established bass pickup designs in one instrument, providing a broader tonal foundation than a setup with two identical pickups. A balance control lets you adjust the mix between the pickups continuously. A volume control and a tone boost control round out the simple layout, while still allowing targeted adjustments to the core sound.

Fixed LTD DB-4 bridge and vintage tuners

The hardware follows a straightforward design without unnecessary complexity. An LTD DB-4 Fixed Bridge provides a stable string anchor, while LTD Vintage tuners complement the classic character of the Surveyor shape. All hardware is finished in black, creating a striking contrast with the visibly figured top. The four-string bass comes strung from the factory with a set in gauges .045, .065, .085 and .105. The combination of a fixed bridge, 34" scale length and classic four-string design makes the Surveyor-204DX an uncomplicated long-scale bass.

Surveyor character in the 200DX Series

With the Surveyor-204DX, LTD brings the distinctive ESP Surveyor platform to the 200DX Series. The focus is not on exotic circuitry or unusual construction concepts, but on a balanced blend of a classic bass shape and modern LTD features. The figured poplar top gives each instrument a lively wood grain, while the roasted maple neck, combined LJB/LPB pickup configuration and black hardware define the model's distinctive character. The Surveyor-204DX is ideal for bassists looking to pair traditional long-scale proportions with a distinctly more modern ESP LTD aesthetic.
