5-string · Bolt-On · fretless
fretless. With its unique coloration and grain pattern highlights, spalted maple is a great look for a bass that stands out from the crowd. The B-205SM FL is an excellent choice in an affordable fretless 5-string bass that includes an ash body with a spalted maple top in Natural Satin finish, along with a thin U-shaped 5-piece maple/jatoba neck with rosewood fingerboard for excellent playing feel, and 24 clearly marked fret indicators to quickly hit the pitch you want. You also get passive ESP Designed SB-5 pickups, along with an active ABQ-3 EQ, and good-looking black nickel hardware. Available in Natural Satin finish.
