ESP LTD B-206SM Bass in Natural Stain B-Stock

ESP LTD B-206SM Bass in Natural Stain B-Stock

The B-206SM delivers a balanced, approachable feel in the hands with its thin U-shaped neck profile and 35-inch scale that accommodates both precision and comfort. This B-stock unit arrives in mint, unplayed condition—ESP's quality control is exacting enough that cosmetic considerations alone determine B-stock status, while sound quality remains flawless. Ash body with spalted maple top construction provides visual character and tonal clarity across the frequency range.

Construction & Playability

Bolt-on construction with a 35-inch scale supports solid sustain and response. The 5-piece maple and jatoba neck with thin U-shaped profile balances stability with comfortable hand positioning, while the roasted jatoba fingerboard and 24 XJ frets enable smooth, fast play across the 500mm radius.

Electronics & Tone

ESP Designed SB-6 passive pickups paired with the ABQ-3 active 3-band EQ give you tonal flexibility from warm lows to articulate highs without requiring a separate preamp enclosure. The active EQ provides real shaping power while maintaining the natural character of the ash and spalted maple resonance.
