"This a Beauty and the Beast bass!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
The best thing a like about this bass is its affordability and playability. The thing I like the least was the factory electronic!
Sound
I already own a LTD ESP B305 5 string neck-thru bass. It has passive EMG pick ups and active EQ I am throughly satisfied with its and feel. I was in the market for a good six string bass comparable to my 5 string. So I purchased the 2003 model F206 and I love its playability! However, I didn't to particular like the ESP electronics. So I replace them with active EMGs and EMG EQ. What a difference electronics makes!
Features
Its a great playing bass, but a little on the heavy side!
Quality
This is one beautiful eye stopping bass! The flame maple top, accented with satin gold hardware has a classy expensive look to it.
Value
The price is very affordable, for a quality instrument.
The Wow Factor
Looks alone would sell this beauty!
