A modern five-string bass

ESP LTD B205SM Natural Satin Electric Bass

Japanese brand ESP is famous for its avant-garde approach, and the company's LTD B205SM five-string bass is visually a far cry from the traditional vintage style. The ESP LTD B205SM has been specifically tailored to fulfil the requirements of modern bass players, and it accordingly delivers an extended frequency range thanks to its fifth string, enhanced tonal flexibility from its active three-band EQ, and excellent playability by virtue of its extra-slim neck profile and 24-fret fingerboard. Players can thus look forward to an instrument that capably upholds ESP LTD's reputation for quality and offers an excellent price-performance ratio.

Details on the ESP LTD B205SM Natural Satin Electric Bass

Elegant and versatile

The ESP LTD B205SM bass combines an ash body and birdseye maple top with a five-piece maple/rosewood neck and jatoba fingerboard. The neck's construction makes it remarkably stable in any climate, while its slim profile provides excellent playability - ideal for bassists who are fans of modern playing techniques - while the jatoba fingerboard in turn is heat-treated for improved performance. The black ESP hardware contrasts elegantly with the pale maple top, and the electronics comprise two (double coil) humbucking pickups and an active preamp with three-band EQ controls, providing a broad sonic palette that is bound to satisfy any contemporary bassist's expectations.

From Fusion to Metal

With its duo of humbucking pickups and active electronics, the LTD B205SM bass by ESP can really set the tone, delivering great mid-rich sounds that will really cut through the mix. Bassists who love a funky fingerpicking groove, be it for Jazz or Fusion, will find their happy place with the LTD B205SM. The slim-taper neck and 24-fret fingerboard pave the way for technical wizards to unleash their chops, while the stylish aesthetics are perfectly suited to any style. Rock and Metal bassists, whatever their playing technique - fingerpicking or with a plectrum - will enjoy a powerhouse sound to rival walls of saturated guitars and explosive drumbeats. And to top it all off, the stylish black hardware adds an extra touch of style.

About ESP

Since the mid-1970s, Japanese guitar and bass manufacturer The ESP Guitar Company has been successfully holding its own against the competition in this highly competitive market. ESP Guitars is divided into three divisions: the LTD division which caters for beginners and more advanced players, and its products are manufactured at various Asian locations. The E-II division produces higher quality models manufactured in Japan, while the top end and custom built models under the ESP name come from the USA. A growing number of well-known musicians rely on ESP products. James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett from Metallica, Emppu Vuorinen from Nightwish, Richie Sambora or George Lynch, to mention only a few, have been using ESP instruments for years.

Bring on the gain

When it comes to Rock and Metal, effect pedals play a central role, notably overdrive, distortion, and fuzz pedals. In order to exploit their full potential, there has to be a reasonably high output level, and passive basses with low output levels sometimes struggle to deliver the necessary dynamic, which in turn limits the efficacy of the pedals. Thanks to the two humbuckers it has on board, the ESP LTD B205SM bass generates the midrange and upper midrange frequencies essential for saturated sounds that blend harmoniously into the mix, and its high output makes it an ideal ally for all types of distortion and effects.

The sound off the bass surprised me. It doesn't sound like a bass that would cost only a bit over 400 euros.

Pros:
-Good sound quality, awesome tones
-Beautiful
-All good except some little things:

Cons:
- Noisy pickups when using treble, boosting treble causes great hiss
Cut treble max. to minimize hiss
-Poor B-string, it's good enough but definitely not as good as the other strings

The overall feeling of the bass is pretty good and I am definitely liking the sound. Great tones for slap, great tones for finger play and partly muted playing. 9.5/10 - in it's price range, can't think of a better choice.

Great sounding with a lovely feel for playing

I bought this as a guitar to learn how to play. I've played banjo before this, and it wasn't that hard a transition. the instrument is hefty but well enough balanced that it is comfortable to play sitting or standing. The action is a little high, even after re adjusting, and the strings are quite tense compared to 4 strings I've played since.

Use:
Practice and recording

Pros:
* Feels comfortable sitting and standing when playing for a long time
* Active control gives a nice bass or mid boost when playing with others
* Looks great

Cons:
* Treble control can give an audible hiss when turned passed half way point.
* Strings are very close together for a 5 string which can make slapping a little more difficult when starting with it

Alot of bang for the buck, really well made, nice sound and overall really good quality. Only issue I've had is a buzz with maxed treble which I'm yet to find a solution for, other than that I'm really pleased with this 5string.

Very nice bass for this price

Nort 20.06.2023

Very good and solid bass guitar. Lies good in hands, has a nice tone. People mentioned hissing on high frequencies, nothing is heard on my side. The only problem is that pickups are quite silent, have to do a bit of preamp to get necessary tone strength
