Stand Out with Stunning Spalted Maple.

With its unique coloration and grain pattern highlights, spalted maple is a great look for a bass that stands out from the crowd. The B-206SM is an affordable yet high-quality 6-string bass that offers an ash body with a spalted maple top in a Natural Satin finish, along with a thin U-shaped 5-piece maple/jatoba neck with rosewood fingerboard for excellent playing feel.

The extended 35" scale length provides enhanced string tension and clarity for tight, articulate low-end response—perfect for down-tuning and modern playing styles. Passive ESP Designed SB-6 pickups deliver clear, punchy tone with excellent articulation, while the active ABQ-3 3-band EQ gives you powerful tone shaping with Bass, Middle, and Treble controls.
