A solid smooth bass
This was my second bass I purchased and I got it from my local Guitar Center for about $350. It was used of course but I picked it up and was in awe at the sound it produced. It was a dark tone but a siky smooth sound, I never heard a bass like this before. It is a super heavy bass in comparison to my others though and after using a lighter bass then picking this up, my shoulder kills me after 2 hours of use. The 5 knobs on it allow me to control the sound completely which is a great thing. Super high quaility bass and I would recommend anyone buys one if they come up for a reasonable price.

Samus Paulicelli uses the ESP LTD F-204 Bass Guitar, as seen in his Instagram post by user 66samus.
When Sean first joined dying fetus he was seen playing this bass for most of the shows. The one he plays is easy to spot by the tribal style inlays across the fretboard which I believe to be a limited addition version. It can be seen in the video for Homicidal Retribution and many live shows around this time. If you do a quick google search there is a dozen pictures with him holding this bass.
