Description
Schecter Omen Extreme-4 Electric Bass Gloss Natural
The Omen Extreme-4 sits comfortably in your hands with its lightweight mahogany body topped in quilted maple and thin C-profile neck that feels natural from the first fret. The 34" scale and 24 extra-jumbo frets respond immediately under your fingers across the entire fingerboard, while the satin polyurethane finish gives you a workable surface that grips without sticking. Built for gigging players who need professional-grade construction without excess weight dragging down your endurance through a long night on stage.
Playability & Construction
The thin C-shaped maple neck paired with an ebony fingerboard and 16" radius creates a fast, modern feel that flows from technical runs to smooth blues passages without transition friction. The 24 extra-jumbo frets and 34" scale deliver the standard four-string setup, while the Black Tusq XL nut at 1.496" width locks in your intonation and sustain across all four strings night after night. Six-way bolt-on construction locks the neck tight to the body for rock-solid coupling, and the 8.60 lbs weight keeps your shoulder fresh during three-hour sets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass humbuckers—one at the neck position and one at the bridge—punch out thick, articulate lows with controlled midrange that cuts through a full band mix. Active electronics give you a single volume control, blend potentiometer, and two-band active EQ to shape your tone from punchy and aggressive to warm and round, all without needing a preamp pedal on your board.
