Killer Guitars are made and distributed by ESP Japan.
Originally founded by Akira Takasaki (the band Loudness), who is currently the co-owner of the comapny and the 'face' of the guitars.
Killer guitars, and basses, are rarely seen outside of Japan as most are made for the Japanese market by ESP.
They're top quality instruments, made in Japan.
Even more rarely seen, in these parts, are the Killer Bass guitars! And this is a wonderful excample of the rock machines that they produce!
The most well known player of Killer Bass Guitars is Taiji Sawada of the band "X Japan" and he did play with Loudness for a bit... and, he played a purple Killer, just like this one
This KB Impulss features a Maple Body with a deep insert, bolt Maple neck with "U" profile.
Master tone control and a volume for each pickup, featuring their own KL-QJB-F pickups.
All finished up in wonderful 'Sparkling Purple' finish.
New, these are approx $1895.00 CDN (plus the cost of getting it over here).
Overall, this consignment bass is in Very Good condition - I would say Excellent but there are some cosmetic scratches on the back and a good chip out of one of the point ends... as seen in the photo.
This was bought in Japan by the consignor and comes with Original Killer GigBag.
