Tom Araya is the bassist and frontman of the iconic thrash metal band Slayer. With his LTD Signature Series TA-604, you get a bass designed for serious players who want to push their music to the extreme. It offers neck-thru-body construction at 35" scale for thunderous bass tones, with a comfortable maple body and a fast thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck, a pau ferro fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and Slayer pentagram inlays.
