SEE THRU BLACK SATIN

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-206SM is an affordable yet high quality 6-string bass that offers an ash body with a spalted maple top in Natural Satin finish, along with a thin U-shaped 5-piece maple/jatoba neck for excellent playing feel. You also get passive ESP Designed SB-6 pickups, along with an active ABQ-3 3-band EQ, and good-looking black nickel hardware. Also available in Natural Satin finish.
HI Simon, Good question. We have not offered in another color and it's not possible to make special orders like this. The only solution will be for us to release one in a different color in the future, but there are no plans for that currently. What color would you be looking for and would you still want it over the spalted maple top? Keep in mind that most colors are difficult or impossible to paint over this wood because it varies so much in the color of the wood grain.
Hi Ken, I think if you are sitting and holding the bass in the classical position, it won't feel too neck heavy. But if were to hold it by the strap standing up, it might feel a little neck heavy, although I think it's not noticeably heavy. One other thing to note is that the body is slightly larger than the regular 4 or 5 string body so that helps with the balance.
