The ESP Guitar Company

My latest guitar acquisition is a 2015 ESP LTD B-206SM Black Satin electric bass and man, it is the best ever bass I played by a long shot. You can feel and sense quality evewhere. The body's Spalted maple finish is stuning. Sound is rock solid with lots of mids that could be tamed/cut by just a counter-clockwise turn of the knob of the same name. Back of neck is flat and quite comfortable. The bass stays in tune even after several days non being played. The B-206SM is a bit heavy though, but it is because it is made of both Rosewood and maple, two great tonewoods. But this is easily fixed with 3" padded leather strap. 2 thumbs up ESP LTD for this great instrument ! 

Imported thos bass. How do i check the year of its manufacturing?

I was given a B-206SM as a gift and it didn't have an owners manual. Where can I download one?

I bought one of these used on a whim because it came up locally, I usually play a 5 string Bass in a Bar Band every weekend. These basses are incredibly versatile. The neck (with it's double truss rod) is as solid as any Bass I've ever played and the neck is amazingly slim for a 6 string. The support for these basses by the manufacturer is excellent, I really can't recommend them enough.

This bass is awesome I have no complaints and sounds awesome 

Hi LTD fam, how to order this bass send here Philippines? 

I recently bought one of these and the bass is absolutely gorgeous, the spalted top is amazng. Fit and finish are top notch. Two things let me down; the tuners and the pickups. With the strings off the tuners all wobble, which is not something I have on any of my other basses, They are solid when the strings are under tension. Still, a minor annoyance. 

The pickups are terrible. They have no volume to them. I have adjusted my string height, and done what I can, and they make no noise. Or rather very little. I have to turn the volume up on my amp and they need to be replaced, which is a disappointment. Still everything else about the bass is great so i will keep it. 

What are the standard string heights for this? 

Hi ESP team. I am interested in this bass but I just want to know if the pickups are passive or active and will this bass fit in any other case than the recommended?

Hello! I was curious about making adjustments to the 2 truss rods on this model of bass.

Are there any tips on how to approach adjusting this style of neck? Are these truss rods both dual action? 

I've been setting up guitars/basses for several years, but I've never encountered a neck with 2 truss rods. I've looked extensively on the internet & have found no resources about the nuances of adjusting necks like this. Any tips or information you can provide would be super helpful! 

Hello again ESP fam! Very happy with this bass but I'm curious to know the specs for its Active 3 Band EQ? The +/- db on Bass/Mid/Treble?

how can I get the owner manual on this bass

I wanna buy a set of tone controls, where can I buys those? 

I  would  like to buy a new set of tuning machines  for this bass guitar. I bought my bass from a dealer. I contacted a different dealer & they told me that ESP would not sell separate tuning machines. I might have got my words mixed up to the salesman. I really don't mind buying a set of  (6) LTD Brand Tuning Machines for my ESP Bass Guitar.How can I buy a full set of Tuning machines for my bass? I really hate to cut corners by buying some other brand of tuning machines. My bass guitar is just like this one, 6 string.Same color of tuning machines.

Hi, what size Allen key is used to adjust the trussrod? I can't find anything to fit it?

Hello,

what is the difference between this new model and the previous one with name on 12th fret?

Hello,

Are the tuning key screws #2 × 3/8" or #3 × 3/8"?

I'm looking at having Hipshot tuners put on, which come with #3 x 3/8" screws and want to get the sizes right.

Thanks!

Hello ESP! I am curious to know if there is any difference between the bridge and neck pickups? Is it a dual Humbucker setup or a P/J style setup? Also is there any difference between this new model and the previous iterations? Thanks!

Hello! I want to buy this model, but stores like Thomann or Muziker still show pictures and specs of the old edition with the model name inlayed on the 12th fret. Is their website outdated or they may still be shipping the older edition? Could you tell me the year you introduced the new edition so that I can check with them what edition they have in stock? Thank you!
