ESP 6 String

[ape]

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

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.

Lol thats where I got it from, its a really really good bass you should go and try one, amazing to play and the sound is top notch I expected it to sound pretty average against my warwick but once you get it cranked up its up there with it if I'm honest which isn't bad to say that the Esp is 3 times cheaper than the warwick new

[budget bassist]

aye thought you had. And i've no need for any more basses right now trying not to GAS too hard for anything!

That ESP looks great.

How are you finding having to deal with 2 extra strings ?

Its been alright so far, it seems a lot easier to get around than I imagined, I'm making more use of the Low B than the C but that will come, its really comfortable to play though and to be honest I'm preferring the width of the neck compared to my 4 string warwick, I dont know if thats me being a bit odd but I tend to find the warwick neck to be a bit skinny.

Is this the B-206? Tempted it by it.

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.

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?

I could certainly try and give it a go, not something I've done before though, I'll have a look through some other reviews when I get 5 to get an idea and try and write one, any particular info thats useful?.

stuff such as: materials, electronics, action, playability, tonal quality, balance (on and off strap?), build quality etc. all go into a good review
