Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock 2742

Schecter C-5 GT Bass Satin Charcoal Burst B-Stock 2742

The C-5 GT is a precision 5-string instrument built for players who demand fast access across the entire fingerboard and articulate low-end response. The thin "C" neck profile and 35" scale length deliver comfortable reach without sacrificing definition, while the set-neck construction with Ultra Access cutaway opens up the upper register for extended playing. B-stock condition means it arrives with minor cosmetic blemishes, but full structural and tonal integrity.

Playability & Construction

The 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement sits dead solid in your hands with minimal neck dive across the 35" extended scale, keeping your fretting hand in command during long sessions. A Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut at 1.771" width paired with 24 extra jumbo frets on a 16" radius ebony fingerboard makes lateral movement feel effortless and note articulation crystal clear. The thin neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—modern enough to feel fast under aggressive picking, refined enough for fluid finger techniques that demand precision.

Tone & Electronics

Dual EMG 40DC (bridge) and EMG 40P5 (neck) pickups cut through a dense mix with focused, articulate tone and virtually zero hum—essential for defined low-end and punchy mids that sit tight on stage. The 2-band EMG EQ system with independent volume and blend controls lets you shape your frequency response on the fly without menu-diving. A Schecter custom string-through bridge anchors all five strings with maximum sustain and resonance, translating your dynamics directly to the audience.
