Schecter Riot-5 Electric Bass Satin Inferno Burst B-Stock 1379
Description
Schecter Riot-5 Electric Bass Satin Inferno Burst B-Stock 1379
The Riot-5 sits perfectly in the hand thanks to its thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length—essential for five-string players who demand precise intonation and articulate note separation on stage. This B-Stock example shows minimal cosmetic wear (light marks at the 10th fret) and maintains full playability and sonic character. The Inferno Burst finish combined with the swamp ash and burl maple construction delivers both striking stage presence and tonal clarity.
Construction & Feel
Built with bolt-on construction, a swamp ash body with burl maple top, and a maple/walnut multi-ply neck, this bass balances resonant sustain with structural stability for reliable gigging. The ebony fingerboard, 16" radius, and 24 XJ frets provide smooth, confident playability across the entire neck, while the thin "C" contour (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th) feels natural in hand during extended performances and long sessions.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
Dual EMG pickups—40PX-CS at the neck and 40JX-CS at the bridge—feed into an EMG-B30 3-band active EQ with master volume and blend control, delivering the punchy lows and articulate mids needed to cut through a live mix. The 9-volt clip-in battery powers the active circuit for responsive tone shaping across multiple playing styles, from aggressive slap to smooth melodic lines.
