Its poplar burl top looks like something you'd see in a collector's magazine, but the price tag doesn't. Nonetheless, once you get your hands on the BTB846's comfortably contoured multilayer body, feel the power of the neck-through construction, and hear the electronics in action, you'll know how much you lucked out by picking up this special bass. A quick overview reveals a layered ash-over-okoume wing design beneath the poplar burl top, with a solid 5-piece maple and walnut neck running the full length of the instrument. Add a 6-piece Mono-rail V bridge to the mix, and you have sustain for days with ideal string-to-string isolation.

I've owned a few 6-string bass guitars and work as a professional musician. I normally play 5-strings, but also play 6-strings a lot. For the craftsmanship, quality and price this bass is unbelievable. If someone just handed it to me I would have thought it was like at least $2,000. It looks, sounds and feels like a boutique quality bass. If you're a professional player like I am and know your way around a 6-string, you won't stop receiving complements on how killer this bass is. I love the mono rail bridge especially, the Bartolini pickups are super punchy but you can also flatten out the sound if you're looking for minimal treble and mid-range. And, to me it's the perfect amount of natural wood beauty with the pop of blue. Can't say enough good things about it. I did have to make some minor adjustments to eliminate fret buzz on the B string, but this was easy to do as the truss rod is so easily accessible and again the mono-rail bridge lets you adjust each individual string. 2 thumbs and 2 toes up.
