The B206 is a seriously cool 6-string that punches way above its weight class. That Ash body gives it a fantastic, woody foundation, while the active EQ lets you sculpt your sound for anything from modern funk to heavier grooves. It’s a great option for players wanting extended range without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ABQ-3 significantly expands tonal possibilities, allowing for more aggressive boost and EQ shaping than passive circuits, but it requires a power source (battery).
It’s primarily aesthetic, but the unique grain patterns can subtly influence resonance and character, adding a touch of individuality to the instrument.
The SB-6 pickups offer a balanced tone – not overly bright or muddy – with a good amount of low-end presence and a tight, defined mid-range, making it versatile for various genres.
