Schecter Session Riot-5 Left-Handed Electric Bass in Aged Natural Fini

Schecter Session Riot-5 Left-Handed Electric Bass in Aged Natural Finish

The Session Riot-5 LH delivers a balanced, comfortable playing experience built on a 35-inch scale with a slim 'C'-shaped neck that accommodates both extended range work and traditional bass lines. The swamp ash body paired with active EMG electronics produces articulate, punchy tone with excellent sustain and dynamic response. This left-handed configuration serves players who need a pro-spec instrument without compromise.

Playability & Construction

The bolt-on maple neck features a 12-inch fretboard radius and 24 narrow X-jumbo frets for smooth position shifts and clean articulation across the extended range. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.771" width) and 2-way truss rod ensure stable intonation and neck relief adjustment, while the neck profile measures .826" at the first fret and .905" at the twelfth—a comfortable, modern dimension for extended sessions.

Tone & Electronics

The dual-pickup configuration pairs an EMG 40J neck pickup with an EMG 40DC bridge pickup, both running through a 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend controls. An 18-volt battery compartment powers the active preamp, delivering articulate highs, controlled lows, and precise midrange shaping suitable for modern bass styles from rock to progressive genres.
