Full Description
View Full DescriptionModern B Series body with extended range
The B-205DX features ESP LTD’s streamlined B Series body, designed for comfort, balance, and easy upper-register access. Its contoured shape sits naturally whether played seated or standing, helping reduce fatigue during rehearsals and live performances. The five-string configuration extends the instrument’s range, making it ideal for heavier styles, lower tunings, and more complex arrangements. Finished in Red Burst, the bass delivers a clean, modern look that matches its performance-focused design.
Roasted maple neck for stability and speed
A bolt-on roasted maple neck improves resistance to temperature and humidity changes, helping the bass maintain consistent setup and feel over time. The Thin U profile supports fast position changes and controlled technique, while the 400mm radius rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface for both fingerstyle and pick playing. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, the B-205DX offers excellent access across the entire neck, supporting modern bass lines and melodic passages.
Active electronics with powerful tone shaping
The B-205DX is equipped with an active pickup system designed to deliver clarity, punch, and flexibility. A neck SB-5N pickup and bridge SB-5B pickup work together to produce a balanced output with strong low-end definition and clear mids. The onboard controls include volume, balance, bass, and treble, allowing players to shape their tone directly from the instrument. This setup makes it easy to adapt to different amps, rooms, and musical styles without external processing.
Reliable hardware for consistent performance
A solid hardtail bridge provides dependable intonation and sustain, ensuring notes remain focused and controlled even under aggressive playing. LTD tuners offer smooth, accurate tuning stability, while durable black hardware complements the bass’s modern appearance. The 34-inch scale length keeps string tension tight and responsive, particularly important for the low B string. Built to handle regular rehearsals, recording, and live use, the B-205DX is a dependable choice for working bassists.
