Hi! I recently bought this bass and it worked at first and then all of a sudden stopped playing sound. I flipped all the knobs and everything! I was wondering if maybe changing the battery would fix this?

    Hi Anthony, sorry for the late reply to your question. Yes that is what I would recommend first. Since your system uses a battery, if it dies or becomes too low in power you will have no output to the amp. One thing to keep in mind with active systems: when you aren't using your bass, make sure you unplug the cable. If you leave the cable plugged in, it will drain the battery. If you need further assistance please contact our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com

      I was just wondering that can I replace bridge with 18mm spacing bridge without neck problem?

        Hi Nattawat, Our current string spacing at bridge is 16mm. If you change to 18, your string spread might be a little too wide for the neck.

          Hi!! I was just wondering what the weight is for the B-206 and how does it compare to the D series ( six string) are they the same weight? Thanks so much!!

            Hi Ken, the B-206 is approximately 10 lbs and the D-6 is about 10.6lbs. Both are similar, maybe the B-206 is more comfortable and slightly lighter. Same outer shape (perimeter) but different contours.

              Could you confirm the ideal string height at the 17th fret for each string please?  I'm assuming 4/64" for the B and 3/64" for everything else?

                Hi Chris, This depends on your playing style and touch. Each player has a different touch or feel so adjustments may be necessary based on those factors as well as string gauge and tuning. For a 6 string bass, our standard string height measured at the 12th fret is 1/8" (3.2mm) at the B string and 5/64" (2.0mm) at the high C string. It sounds like you are looking for low action. That is possible if you set the neck very straight and play with a light touch. Remember that fret buzz heard acoustically is not an issue, but you typically don't want to hear the fret buzz through the amp (unless that is the sound you are going for).

                  Hello, would a set of 32 - 130 strings would be too heavy for standard tuning on this bass?

                    Hi Casey, This set would be fine. It's a little heavier than what comes on the bass, but will work fine. Since there will be more tension on the neck we recommend you adjust the truss rod and bridge & nut slots as necessary.

                      I recently put Ernie Ball #2838 32-45-65-80-100-130 on and they work great. I had my luthier build me a custom bone nut so everything fits perfectly.

                        HI RJD, That sounds like a great upgrade, thanks for sharing it here.
