Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-6 FL Electric Bass in Honey Satin
The Stiletto Studio-6 FL is a fretless 6-string bass that sits like it was carved for your hands. Its svelte body contours and thin 'C' neck profile deliver natural comfort in any playing position, while the 35" scale and fretless rosewood fingerboard unlock expressive range across funk, jazz, fusion, and contemporary styles. The figured bubinga top in honey satin finish delivers visual character that matches its muscular, articulate voice—a stage-ready instrument that commands presence in any ensemble.
Playability & Construction
The neck-thru mahogany body with ultra access design gives you both structural solidity and genuine reach to the upper frets on a 6-string instrument. A maple/walnut multi-ply neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods stays true under touring demands while maintaining the responsiveness and snap essential to fretless playing; the dual 2-way adjustable truss rods let you dial in your exact neck feel. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 2.125" width and 16" fretboard radius ensure clean articulation and smooth finger travel across all six strings, night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 45HZ pickups paired with active 3-band EQ and master volume/blend control give you articulate low-end punch, singing mids, and controlled high-end presence that cuts through a live mix. The 18-volt active system provides the headroom and responsiveness to dial in everything from aggressive percussive attack to warm, woody tones without noise or signal degradation. The Diamond Custom Bass bridge couples directly to the body for maximum sustain and clarity across the low B string and fundamental frequencies—delivering the definition that defines a professional fretless tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level do I need to play a fretless bass like this?
This instrument is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with intonation control and fretless technique. The thin 'C' neck profile and responsive rosewood fingerboard reward precise finger placement, making it ideal for players with established fretless experience.
What genres is this bass best suited for?
The Stiletto Studio-6 FL excels in jazz, funk, and fusion—styles that demand expressive vibrato, glissando, and tonal nuance. Its articulate low-end and singing mids are less suited to punk and thrash metal, where distortion and simplicity are priorities.
How does the 35-inch scale and 6-string configuration affect playability?
The 35" scale provides extra tension and clarity across all six strings, including the low B, and supports strong fundamental response. The thin 'C' neck (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret) keeps the 6-string width comfortable and accessible compared to thicker profiles.
What's included in the electronics, and can I adjust the tone on the fly?
The bass features dual EMG 45HZ active pickups, a 3-band EMG active EQ, master volume, and blend controls, all powered by an 18-volt active system with screw-plate battery access. You can dial in articulate lows, singing mids, and controlled highs in real time without noise or signal loss.
How does the neck-thru construction and carbon-fiber reinforcement impact durability and feel?
The mahogany neck-thru body with carbon-fiber rods resists warping while maintaining the responsiveness critical to fretless playing. Dual 2-way adjustable truss rods give you full control over neck relief, ensuring consistent playability through temperature and humidity changes.
