This beautiful 6-string ESP bass has a mahogany body with a flamed maple top that is left au natural giving it an elegant light wood tone. If it werent for the two walnut stripes of walnut and the slightly paler maple of the 5-piece neck-thru design youd almost swear the body of the B-1006 bass guitar was all cut from the same wood. While the guitar doesnt have much frills other than beveled edges, graceful woodgrain lines, subtle dot inlays, and black hardware in the aesthetic department, it more than makes up for it in its electronics. Helping you get the most tone out of this stunning axe are an EMG 45TW bridge pickup with a push-pull coil tap on volume knob, EMG 45P6 active neck pickup, and an EMG B64 3-band active EQ. The thin "U" neck contour and double cutaway design on this 35" scale B-1006 bass makes it easy to access all 6 strings and 24 XJ frets while a Hipshot bridge and Hipshot tuners help keep your strings in position and tune no matter how hard youre digging.
