Schecter Stiletto Custom-6 Electric Bass Gloss Natural
The Stiletto Custom-6 sits in the hands with supreme comfort thanks to its contoured mahogany body and thin 'C' neck profile that responds immediately in both seated and standing positions. This six-string bass delivers smooth, fast playability paired with punchy, articulate tone that cuts through dense mixes with clarity and midrange presence. Built for precision across rock, metal, funk, and progressive styles, it balances technical responsiveness with professional-grade construction that holds up night after night on stage.
Playability & Build
The maple/walnut multi-ply neck with thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, giving fast access to the full 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius rosewood fretboard. A 35" scale with Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (2.125" width) and dual 2-way adjustable truss rods keep intonation rock-solid and neck geometry precisely dialed, while the figured maple top and gloss natural finish reveal the craftsmanship of the mahogany body through the entire lifespan of the instrument.

EMG HZ pickups paired with active 2-band EQ and dedicated volume and blend controls deliver articulate, punchy response with excellent midrange definition that sits perfectly in a live mix.
