Description
Schecter Johnny Christ Signature Bass Satin Black B-Stock 0006
The Johnny Christ Signature Bass sits perfectly in your hands with a 34" scale and slim maple neck shaped to the 'C' profile that working bassists demand for speed and precision. On stage, the EMG pickup configuration cuts through the mix with aggressive midrange punch that powers metal and hard rock setlists without breaking a sweat. The satin black finish and gold bone cross inlays deliver visual authority while the bolt-on construction promises the reliability gigging players need night after night.
Playability & Comfort
The 21 Narrow X-Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard with 12" radius let your hand move fast and lock in note definition across the entire neck. Neck thickness measures .866" at the first fret and .925" at the 12th, creating the tapered feel that locks in precision for high-gain riffing and technical passages, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width keeps articulation sharp and tuning rock-solid through extended sets.
Tone & Live Performance
The EMG MMCS bridge pickup paired with an EMG 81 neck pickup and 2-band active EQ system puts modern, controlled aggression under your fingertips with responsive tone-shaping via the master volume and blend knob. An ash body with bolt-on construction combined with the Schecter Custom Bass bridge delivers articulate string definition and consistent sustain that translates across any venue, while the Grover tuners with gold hardware hold intonation tight under the demands of gigging.
