The Phoenix-1004 is designed to provide the kind of authority and stage-ready presence modern bass players demand. Its mahogany body delivers warmth, sustain, and a strong midrange response that helps basslines stay full and defined within a busy mix. The offset body shape gives the instrument a distinctive appearance while remaining comfortable and well balanced during longer sessions. Neck-through construction improves sustain and resonance even further, creating a smooth connection between neck and body that also improves upper-fret access. The result is a bass that feels solid, responsive, and built for professional-level performance.
Loaded with EMG 35P4 and 35J pickups, the Phoenix-1004 offers a versatile tonal range suited to everything from clean melodic passages to aggressive modern bass tones. The EMG 35P4 neck pickup produces thick lows, punchy mids, and impressive articulation, helping notes stay powerful and clear even under heavier playing styles. In the bridge position, the EMG 35J adds definition, harmonic detail, and tighter response for more focused attack and clarity. Together, they create a balanced and flexible voice that works brilliantly across rock, metal, funk, and modern progressive styles.
The five-piece mahogany and walnut neck uses ESP’s Thin U profile, giving the Phoenix-1004 a sleek and effortless playing feel that suits both intricate fingerstyle work and aggressive picked basslines. The Macassar ebony fingerboard adds snap and note definition while remaining smooth beneath the fingers for fast transitions and precise movement across the neck. Twenty-one extra jumbo stainless steel frets provide excellent durability and a responsive feel that helps bends, slides, and expressive playing techniques feel controlled and natural.
The Phoenix-1004 is fitted with dependable hardware designed to handle demanding live and studio use. A Gotoh 201B-4 bridge improves sustain, intonation accuracy, and tuning stability while providing a solid and responsive playing feel. LTD vintage tuners help keep the bass stable during rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions, ensuring consistent performance and tuning. The straightforward control layout for neck volume, bridge volume, and tone keeps shaping your sound intuitive and immediate. Combined with its premium construction and versatile electronics, the Phoenix-1004 is built to deliver reliable performance every time you plug in.
