For the price of this you get a REAL nicely made bass
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
this bass is unbelievable. For the price of this you get a REAL nicely made bass, the electronics are nice w/ the exception of the high's , it doesn't push that much like the mid and bass eq's do. but that shouldn't stand in your way..i have played with a Tobias 6 string for many years and this bass stacks right up there with the toby, but it's a little lighter (thank god for that)..i have played a Yamaha and Ibanez 6 string at a cost of about $500 each and they just don't compare to this bass.. I say if your ready for a six I would recommend this bass ... show more

outstanding tone and sustain
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
a stunning splatted maple top on an ash body - right out of the box it played great (very minor adjustments that i made) strong, snappy responsive tone - articulate, punchy, and easily modified - open, warm tone and smooth playing feel. it should cost more then what it sells for, It is all about the sound and tones you are able to achieve. Not all $1000.00 plus basses sound this good. You pay for the labor it took to create this bass. Try this bass again. read all the reviews from other sites. This bass, ROCKS! ... show more

what a gem of a bass
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
i just got my 6 string bass guitar and its currently in the shop getting setup, but oh my god what a stellar deal for such a quality crafted instrument. I couldn't be more happy with this peice of art, the spalted maple is gorgeous. I love how the satin finish makes you feel more connected to the process of craft involved in its creation, such a raw feeling. ... show more

Not as pictured. Cheaper new version of the old classic
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
Is NOT the same as picture. These are not the spalteds of 2012, these are the watered down version. Looks cheap, sounds and plays great. Neck is absolutely amazing shape, but these just dont have the same flair without the badge inlay in the fretboard. Find an older one on Reverb that has the badging! ... show more

Sounds great and very comfortable to play!
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
I'm guitar player, but I play a little bit of bass. I have a old SG bass, but I needed a new one. A friend o'mine have a Schecter, but I don't like the sound. I was watching reviews about bass on YouTube, and I like the sound of ESP LTD B-206SM. Sounds great! I like the body, the color, the neck, 2 control volume, 3 band EQ. Very comfortable to play. Nice bass for the price. I highly recommend it! ... show more

Good tone, comfortable 35" scale
Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
ESP quality at a nice price. Bought an ESP 5 15 yrs ago and love it. Took a gamble on the six as I made 2 fretless 6 and wanted some frets too. Comfortable but I don't use it much because the 35" scale is awkward to me. Odd, I play stand up and fretted as well as fretless 34" with no problems. Your mileage may vary. ... show more

Color: Natural Satin Size: 6-String Style: Fretted
It's a good Bass guitar I use it when I record. It's not for people who only want one sound from a bass, it a made to do more. Get new strings.
