Schecter Ultra Bass in Pelham Blue
Description
Schecter Ultra Bass in Pelham Blue
The Schecter Ultra Bass sits perfectly in your hands with a buttery-smooth neck and a balanced body that feels like an extension of yourself on stage or in the studio. Neck-thru construction with Ultra Access means you can reach those high frets without fighting the body, while the thin "C" neck profile and lightweight open-gear tuners keep your hands comfortable through long sets and recording sessions. The Pelham Blue finish with white binding cuts a striking, professional presence under the lights.
Playability & Construction
Built with a mahogany body featuring a flat top with raised center contour and backed by a mahogany/maple 5-piece neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, this bass delivers the stability and tonal warmth every working musician needs. The 20 X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays respond precisely under your fingers for clean articulation and definition, while the 34" scale and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut lock in your intonation and sustain gig after gig.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG TBHZ pickups with independent volume/volume/tone controls give you punchy, cutting highs and deep, authoritative lows that sit perfectly in a live mix. The Schecter Custom Bass bridge with string-thru design anchors powerful sustain and lets you dial in whatever tone the moment demands—warm and woody for grooves, bright and aggressive for cuts.
