Now forgive me if these instruments have already been out for some time. I just decided on a whim to check out ESP Japan's website and, BAM, there they were, DIR EN GREY's new instruments available for us mere mortals to buy.
For those that don't know (probably most of you), Toshiya is my all time favourite bassist, and a huge inspiration to me: my whole bass playing style is based off of his! I can't even begin to describe how I felt when I saw Toshiya's 5 string bass on the ESP website... I think I yelped...
This bass is just beautiful, but also slightly pricey. I'm hoping for either a cheaper version to come out, or I'll save up over a few years (4000£!!) to buy the proper ESP model.
The three new guitars, Kaoru's 7 string, Die's 6 string and 7 string are also gems. Kaoru is my favourite of the two guitarists, but I prefer the design of Die's guitars more, that kind of 'metal-telecaster' look. As much as I would like to get these guitars, all my attention is on the BASS.
This, and the announcement of a new DIR EN GREY single, has made my year.
I better start saving up...
