The B series instruments are, in a way, the flagship of ESP-LTD's bass production. These instruments with a rather traditional design impress you at first glance with their very successful design, but you will be equally impressed by their sound, workmanship and playing comfort. Among the B-series bass guitars, you can find instruments of different setups and price ranges, so if you're looking for an instrument with a punchy sound and perfect design, you'll find yours here.
This bass is constructed from a solid ash body with a maple top with distinctive grain, to which is bolted a five-piece maple and rosewood neck. The fingerboard is rosewood. The instrument's gauge is extended to 889 mm, it has 24 XJ-type frets, and the width of the zero fret is measured at 54 mm. The neck profile corresponds to the Thin U, so it is a very comfortable and fast neck. The instrument is finished in Natural Satin, where the wood grain stands out perfectly.
The instrument is equipped with two humbucker type pickups to which active electronics are attached. Both are made by ESP, the humbuckers are model SB-6, the active equalizer is type ABQ-3. It is a three-band model, so on the body we find potentiometers for adjusting treble, midrange and bass, and of course the Volume and Balance potentiometers. Thanks to these electronics, it's no problem to set up exactly the sound that suits you and that pushes through the band's sound.
The strings are anchored in the ESP DB-6 headstock, and on the other side go through a standard zero fret into the mechanics, which are also from ESP. This setup ensures great vibration transfer from the strings to the body, and therefore a solid tonal tone and long sustain. Stability of tuning is a matter of course. The hardware is in black nickel-plated finish.
The ESP-LTD B 206 is therefore a quality instrument, the engagement of which will certainly not be a mistake. If you're looking for a bass that will last and never let you down, give this model a try.
