ape Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Here's my latest addition, ESP LTD 6 string. I am honestly shocked at how good it is for the money, my first venture from 4 strings. My current line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Real nice bass. I was thinking of getting a similar affair myself actually. Love the smoked chrome looking hardware but it does rub off a bit i have found which is rather irritating.

7string Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That ESP looks great. How are you finding having to deal with 2 extra strings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted it by it.[/quote] No mate this is the B406sm I think the 206 is bolt on instead of neckthrough and doesn't have the EMG pups, other than that I think they're the same though.

funkypenguin Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 there seems to be quite a few people out there after a competitively priced 6 string at the moment. perhaps youd be kind enough to do a review for the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
