GrassRoots by ESP G-VP-46B "Viper" Bass — Black, 4-String
The GrassRoots G-VP-46B is the bass take on ESP's Viper design, offered
through GrassRoots, ESP's affordable sub-brand. It pairs an aggressive,
SG-derived asymmetric body with a simple, high-output single-humbucker
layout — a straightforward, hard-hitting bass aimed at rock players.
This is an honest, player-grade example in gloss black with matching black
hardware. A single large humbucker sits at the center of the body, wired to
a three-control layout for quick, no-fuss tone shaping.

== WHY THIS BASS ==
The G-VP-46B offers a distinctive, aggressive look that stands apart from the
usual J/P-style basses, with a simple high-output humbucker that delivers a
thick, punchy tone well suited to rock. As an accessible ESP sub-brand
instrument, it's an easy way into the Viper shape and a practical workhorse
or project bass.
