Description
Schecter C-4 Standard Electric Bass Tobacco Burl
The Schecter C-4 Standard locks into your hands with a thin "C" neck profile that delivers comfort without sacrificing the stability you need during long sets. The 24 jumbo frets feel fast and responsive under the fingers, while the roasted maple neck and mahogany body create a centered, articulate response that cuts through the mix on stage or in the studio. The striking tobacco burl top announces itself visually while the instrument's sonic palette remains tight and professional—exactly what discerning players demand.
Build & Tone Character
Mahogany body construction with a figured burl top generates rich, focused resonance and sustain through the low end that sits tight in a mix. The roasted maple neck paired with a rosewood fretboard and bolt-on construction maintains rock-solid intonation under gigging conditions and provides a smooth, fast playing surface that improves with use.
Playability & Electronics
A 16" fretboard radius and thin "C" neck profile make quick position shifts intuitive and bending natural, while the 38mm graphite nut locks in tuning reliability night after night. Dual Schecter Diamond Standard Soapbar pickups with independent volume and tone controls per pickup let you dial in anything from aggressive, growling lows to punchy, defined mids and articulate highs—giving you real tonal range across different playing styles and venues.
