ESP Review: B-205FM

ESP Bass Guitars



History:

Purchase: I specail ordered it through my local music store, Alto Music. I paid $464 dollars on the bass.

What I Like About This ESP B-205FM: Well whats not to like. For starters, i love the fact its light weight. Its really light, I think the lightest i've ever held. Next we got the sound. Usually when i play my other bass, i get a really annoying buzzing sound when the tone is on, but with this baby, the sound comes through crystal clear. The extra-jumbo frets are also nice, but sometimes can get you caught when you slide. The then of this guitar is simply amazing. At the top its nice and slim, and at the bottom, still slim. The pick-ups on this guitar are sick. totally sick.

What I Do NOT Like About The ESP B-205FM: Like i said, the extra-jumbo frets may be my only complaint. Its hard to slide with them, but after a while, you get kinda used to it.

ESP B-205FM Quality Rating: The construction on this bass is nice. Its a string through body, which is awsome, an the pick-ups are simply amazing.



Review Summary: The bottom line is, if your planning on getting a 5-string bass guitar, this is the master of them all. Pick one up an play it next time you see one. You will soon become in love with it.

Rating of this ESP product: 5
