A used bass can be a simple four-string foundation, a wider-range six-string instrument, or a five-string package with a case included. The key choice here is not just the listed price: it is whether the neck, string layout, construction, and condition details fit the role you need the bass to fill.

Product notes
Second-hand 4-string instrument, sound system, natural wood color, clearance sal
For a player seeking a right-handed solid-body bass with a linden wood body and rosewood fretboard, the Second-hand 4-string instrument makes a straightforward match. The natural wood color and Standard model designation give it a simple, traditional presentation. At USD 149.00, it sits at the lowest listed price in this group. Its clear limitation is the four-string configuration: it is not the natural choice when a five- or six-string layout is central to the music you play. The instrument is marked used.
Aria ProⅡ Tri Sound Vintage Bass TSB-500 Natural
The Aria ProⅡ Tri Sound Vintage Bass TSB-500 Natural is the choice for someone drawn to a named TSB-500 model, right-handed orientation, and Japanese origin. Its solid body and four-string layout make it a focused alternative to the extended-range ESP and Warrior options. The USD 429.99 listed price falls between the lowest-priced instrument and the ESP LTD B206. Cosmetic condition is the main tradeoff: aging scratches, cracks, and dirt are described, so this option suits a buyer comfortable with visible wear on a used bass.
ESP LTD B206 Spalted Maple 6-String Bass - Natural Satin
Choose the ESP LTD B206 Spalted Maple 6-String Bass - Natural Satin when a six-string layout is the priority. The listed ash body, maple neck, and 24 frets create a specific construction profile, while the right-handed B206 model distinguishes it from the four-string and five-string choices. Its listed price is USD 525.00. The limitation is also its defining feature: six strings are a more specialized format than a conventional four-string arrangement, so the B206 is best suited to a shopper who actively wants that expanded layout rather than simply a standard bass.
Warrior 5 String Bass Guitar Great Sound plus Coffin Case
The Warrior 5 String Bass Guitar Great Sound plus Coffin Case is the standout package for a shopper who wants an included coffin case alongside a right-handed five-string bass. A basswood body, maple neck, and 24 frets add concrete construction details, and the listed USD 3,750.00 price is the highest of the four choices. Its important limitation is cosmetic: the description notes incisions around the G-string area that resemble long-fingernail damage. The Warrior makes the most sense when the five-string format and case are priorities and that described wear is acceptable.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the Second-hand 4-string instrument when a right-handed solid body is the best match for a straightforward bass role. Pick the Aria ProⅡ when the TSB-500 model and Japanese origin are the main draw. Go with the ESP LTD B206 when an ash-body B206 with a maple neck fits the sound range and fingerboard layout you want. Select the Warrior when the included coffin case matters most, while keeping the described G-string-area wear in mind.
