LTD Viper 54 bass, matte black, made in Indo 2009. This is a handy little bass. These Viper shaped basses are no longer available new; it's a cool look for a 4-string. The hardware and build quality are very respectable; this plays smoothly and is very reliable. Matte finishes like this tend to wear quickly with heavy play, but this one is currently still in pretty slick nick. The pickup has an active tone circuit; there's plenty of tonal beef on tap but it's not so aggressive as to be pigeon holed into one genre. Pretty mean!
