Distinctive tonewoods for focused lows and a cutting edge

The LTD B-205SM has a look and sound that’s unique among basses in this price range. The ash body and bolt-on maple neck give this bass a decidedly American response: bright and punchy mids, a fast attack, and a focused bass response. The spalted maple top’s satin finish gives this instrument an eye-catching look to suit modern styles of music.
