Schecter Stiletto Studio-8 Left-Handed Electric Bass Honey Satin
Description
Schecter Stiletto Studio-8 Left-Handed Electric Bass Honey Satin
Built for left-handed players seeking extended-range command, this 8-string bass delivers responsive playability through its slim thin 'C' neck profile and balanced mahogany body with bubinga top—designed to stay comfortable through long rehearsals and full sets. The 8-string configuration expands your tonal palette with rich harmonic textures and clarity across all frequencies, opening sonic doors for heavy, progressive, fusion, and contemporary material. Crafted in South Korea with professional-grade components, it handles aggressive pick attack and fluid finger-style technique with equal authority and reliability.
Playability & Feel
The neck cuts fast: 34" scale with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a rosewood fretboard, backed by maple/walnut multi-ply construction that locks in stability through demanding gigs. A 16" fretboard radius paired with the thin neck profile at the 1st fret (0.787") and 12th fret (0.866") creates an ergonomic platform that feels natural for melodic runs and lower-register grooves, keeping fatigue out of your hand during extended sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 35HZ pickups feed into master volume, blend, and 3-band EMG active EQ controls, delivering punchy midrange and articulate attack across all eight strings—perfect for cutting through a mix on stage. The 18-volt battery compartment powers the active electronics with headroom and responsiveness, while the diamond custom bass bridge and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut lock in stable tuning and clear note definition through every set.
