Review: Which flavor of ice cream is best? - There’s good ice cream and bad ice cream, regardless of flavor, and the first thing you want to know is is this bad ice cream. No, this is good ice cream, although like most cheap instruments, it needs some set up work, in this case I even went in and cleaned up the neck joint a bit. The second thing you want to know in a review is what flavor is this? If a J bass is classic vanilla, and a P bass is chocolate, this ESP LTD B-205SM is vanilla soft serve. Vanilla because it doesn’t impart too much of its own character on the strings, and soft serve because it doesn’t have the thump and punch of a passive Fender, but instead is full and round and somewhat compressed sounding. A major competitor in active 5’s is the Yamaha TRBX305, which would be chocolate soft serve, having a lot more of the P bass character but not as much punch again. Which flavor is right for what you do? This bass might excel when you want a pure tone that is easy to manage, also a great platform for effects and amps that give their own character. Maybe the idea of a perfectly fine bass that lacks its own punch and character doesn’t appeal to you. I can’t answer that for you. Get them all? But it’s a beautiful instrument if you get one with nice spalting. I am amazed at how some people don’t know what spalting is and think the wood is rotted or something. Yes, but in a good way. ## Features - 5-string Electric Bass Guitar with Spalted Maple Top - 2 Humbucking Pickups - Natural Satin - 5-piece Maple/Jatoba Neck - Jatoba Fingerboard - Ash Body ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004G91RFS | | Back Material Type | Basswood | | Best Sellers Rank | #86,139 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #177 in Electric Bass Guitars | | Body Material Type | Ash | | Brand | ESP GUITARS | | Brand Name | ESP GUITARS | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 36 Reviews | | Finish Type | Satin Finish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840248027519, 08402480275190 | | Hand Orientation | Right Handed | | Included Components | not included | | Instrument | Electric Bass | | Instrument Size | 5-String | | Item Dimensions | 48 x 4 x 17 inches | | Item Type Name | ESP LTD B Series B-205 5-String Bass Guitar, Natural Satin | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 48 x 4 x 17 inches | | Manufacturer | ESP Guitars | | Manufacturer Part Number | 211187 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | LB205SMNS | | Model Number | LB205SMNS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 5 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Size | 5-String | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Maple | | UPC | 840248027519 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ESP GUITARS - **Size:** 5-String - **Color:** Natural - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 48 x 4 x 17 inches - **Top Material Type:** Maple - **Back Material Type:** Basswood - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Finish Type:** Satin Finish - **Instrument:** Electric Bass - **Item Weight:** 9.07 g ## Images ![ESP LTD B-205 5-string Bass Guitar - Natural Satin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yPH-8gn0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: That case doesnt fit. guitar is 52x19x5 the case you said fits is only 49x19x4. impssible anyone know the actual case that fits this guitar? thanks!?** A: I have two 4 string basses...I use a tear-drop shaped case for mine...possible the 6 string has a wider body and may not fit...bought mine from Long & McQuade, a chain in Canada **Q: I have c305 (fretted) and i use blue steel. what should i use on this? i'm first time fretless user.** A: Your call...I'm beginner bassist...fretless helps my ear...for acoustic/electric gtr **Q: can you slap** A: Not recommended on fretless basses. I have two fretless basses. Slapping doesn't seem to work as well without frets. **Q: Is the bass in the photo the actual one for sale?** A: The finish won’t look exactly the same, since it’s natural wood grain. Each one is unique. They all seem to be symmetrical, like they cut one piece of wood in half and glue the two halves together down the middle. Check out some used ones on ebay or reverb.com to get an idea of what to expect. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great bass under $1000 *by W***L on May 24, 2026* Looks amazing and really fun to play.

I purchased an Ibanez but was very disappointed with it and sent it back. I ordered the ESP and could not be happier. It looks and sounds great, and the craftsmanship is what I would expect to pay for a much more expensive bass. The only thing I need to do is replace the strings and it will be perfect. I highly recommend this beautiful bass for the beginner, or seasoned player.
